This morning I had a lesson with Harry the Springer Spaniel. We have had 6 lesson so far and Harry is a very excited, energetic dog. He has struggled at times with training as he just wants to run and play. Anyway he has done amazingly well today. This video is of him doing a sit stay, followed by a retrieve.
Going back to basics with 14 month old Upsy. She is really good on the stop whistle usually but can get a bit carried away and ignore me, completely normal for her age.
So i put her on the long line just to keep her in check again.
There is nothing wrong with going back to basic training with your dogs or giving them a few weeks off. You can definitely over cook them. Keep training fun so the dog enjoys it and doesn't see it as a chore.
