its the same as using place mats, but these are small box's normaly around 4" high. Did he have a little liver cocker with him about 12 months old?

Ta.

Edited to add; don't bother googling box training folks! I got three pages on how to get your pup to tish in a litter box then we got onto teaching pup to open his toy box, 101 games to play with your pup and a box etc., etc..

However, the gundogs online site is an interesting read, just couldn't find the steadiness training method anywhere on there. Looks like I shall have to force myself to go to the Game Fair again then, *sigh*

Try this although I'm not sure what I've picked up from it.

I may be missing something but why use the boxes in that video? Seems to be a need to use things to train dogs these days from boxes to traffic cones, e-collars to placemats and all the other odds and sods people can come up with to make it more complex.

Life used to be so simple when I were a kid.
