Hi

due to your many posts IPS i would recommend a good spaniel training DVD and lessons with a pro

the DVD i would get can be purchased at http://www.hawcroftgundogs.co.uk/

it helped me loads when i first started out

Hi Ips,

Or anyone else for that matter, if anyone fancies reading either Keith erlandson, or joe Irving I am happy to let you borrow mine, providing I get it back at some point

Very kind offer, I have the Joe Irving one but could not relate to it. Not heard of the other what's his method as in positive or not.

Yes I know it seems that way but most of my posts are for research so I can think it over for the future I don't necessarily implement everything straight away.
Cheers

I know, I'm not intending to sound condescending in recent posts. Just trying to show the perspective that I think a lot of people are seeing it from due to the sheer volume of questions and seemingly meandering training path it appears that you are walking down (again, just following posts).

Cant argue with that Cass, I kind of post what I am thinking out loud so to speak. I am sure I must be perceived as a right pain in the derriere

Can't deny that

None taken,
You love me really though.

[pontbeck]

Absolutely

Hi Ips, erlandsons is old school and therefore not entirely positive, that being said that just relates to corrections etc, a lot of the methods on getting the dog to perform behaviours do not involve running the dog down etc
