Good, calm and positive handling, to be admired in such a young person, could teach lots of adults!

Love it! They have certainly formed a bond with one another. Does your daughter ask you for advice, or are you simply letting her do her own thing?

She asks, usually wanting to progress faster than they should! most times I ask her what shes going to do in a session and watch from a distance.

Personally I should like to see some more keenness on finding the rabbits and less stopping and then apply more breaks but not everyone will see it that way. Your daughter certainly has its attention though well done for sure on that

Thanks for all the positive comments, im sure speed and intensity will increase over time, but for the moment im happy with their progress. Her goal is to make him a FTCH! but if she ends up with a reliable shooting dog that she can take beating ill be happy.
