Gundog Training Forum

Thought I’d have a go at some jump training with Merlin at the weekend.
I’ve always been really pleased with his speed, both going out for and returning with a retrieve..

But I think when jumping he’s going to need a little more finesse !!

hahah! did he crash through rather than going over! he looks quite pleased with himself regardless!

I wouldn't mind, he'd already been over cleanly twice, think he took off too late...

Maybe he could do with some glasses..

I always cable tie the first couple of lines together to make it a bit stronger at the top so if the dog hits it it doesn't rip it..

I took my springer on a scurry day last year, they had some of that fencing round the 'up and over' bales, I was just setting her up when someone threw a dummy the other side of the fencing, she literally burst right through it! Not under or over, straight through the middle, to this day im not sure quite how!
