Hi Nik,

Excellent DVD set - worth every penny.

I agree and have got it but to be honest for the price I'd sooner go to a good spaniel trainer for a few 1-2-1 lessens......They can see you and your dog and tailor a session to where you are both at......Set you a programme to work to and then arrange another session in a months time.....

I'd then look to joining some good group sessions in the summer and get my dog learning to wait it's turn and honour other dogs working.....Even though they learn with my older dogs somehow it's different working with strange dogs and other people....

Agreed. Jacquie.

thanx for that. ive already signed up for some group sessions this year, im looking forward to that. we need it cos we train alone, he needs other dogs and people around to wait his turn just like you say.
hes 10 month old next week. hes doing amazing (i think anyway)
ive just ordered my new pup, id like to get 2 in competitions
cant wait haha

I think it's a really good set. If the choice was 1-1 OR DVD then I'd go 1-1 BUT if you have the cash for both these DVD's are great back-up.

I've just bought the first DVD and found it really useful. At the young age I really didn't want to overdo it or even get it totally wrong, so bought the DVD which gave me something to do until I had my first 1-1. I now do a bit of both, sometimes the stuff we learnt on the 1-1 other times what is shown on the DVD.

thanx. i think il get the 1st one and im hoping to have a little 1to 1 aswell.

cant wait to get training with other dogs. its all good experiance.
thanx. nik
