Ips, you have done an amazing job with Eze for someone training their first dog. She may not be perfect but none of them are. I have trained many dogs, each a bit better than the last but with all of them I eventually get to a level of contentment with their behaviour and no longer worry about small faults. I don't get 25 birds with a box of shells so I figure the dog is allowed a few mistakes as well.

Just read this thread again (I often re visit old threads 👍) very interesting it was too. Just to update she still occasionally does the same behaviour but it's true to say that I haven't done much or anything about it this season as due to my health issues I was just glad to be out with her on the occasions I was 🙄
