Nice day of steadiness on the peg for the girls today 🥰🐶

Very pleased with young Goose today, nice little memory for him down the hill and over the stream for a partridge 🥰🐶🪿🪶

Happy new year to all and thank you for the continued support.
2024 has some big plans and I’m hoping will be even better than 2023!

There will be training day dates added shortly for the next few months.

There is a new WhatsApp group for those wanting information about the group training sessions- if you would like to be added to the group just let me know.

Meanwhile the dogs have all been very helpful with our new fencing.

Looking forward to the next adventure 🥰🐶

These 2 just make my heart melt 🥰🐶 Family shoot on Wednesday and they had a great time. Good job Tom Harris had Lark on the peg with him because I think he’s well and truly lost his spaniel!! 💖

05/12/2023

The princess pulled everything out for me again 🥰🐶 another day that we were so close, we’ll keep training and go again 💪🏻
Couldn’t have asked for more from her, she worked hard for me all day even in tough conditions.
Also loving my new Fortis Clothing coat!! First time out and it was so toasty!

04/12/2023

17th December will be our Christmas party session, anyone who has previously trained with us is welcome to attend, lots of fun and some prizes to be won!
Please message me for details if we haven’t spoken already 😊🐶🎄🎁🎅🏻🧑🏻‍🎄
(Sorry Christmas puppy is not one of the prizes!)

02/12/2023

And just like that they’re off to their new adventures. I was lucky enough to be blessed with 4 Wren puppies on my birthday this year 🥰🐶 Today the last 2 have left for their forever homes.
Hunter, Twig, Ziggy and Belle I can’t wait to see you out there having fun and hopefully giving your new family’s some of the joy you’ve given us.
They have all gone to the most fantastic homes that I could have wished for with Twig staying in the family. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for them 🥰🐶🤞

02/12/2023

I think that’s a happy Labrador 😍 Day on the peg with Tom for Lark today 🐶

01/12/2023

After a cold day picking up together they’re cuddled up on the sofa together 🥰🐶

29/11/2023

Nice memory past Wren for little Goose. First time running past another dog and first memory that he couldn’t see. Super impressed with this little guy, for a bouncy blonde he is so focused when he needs to be 🥰🐶🪿

28/11/2023

Photos from a yesterday’s HPR day are now online. Thanks again to Caroline for doing an amazing job in testing conditions!

22/11/2023

Day on the peg for these 2, this time with me. (We may have gained a spaniel for a drive too) 🥰🐶

20/11/2023

Back to the training for Wren now. Dropped a blind for her on my way round in the gator- through the OSR, over the ditch and out into the next OSR field 🥰🐶

20/11/2023

We have a couple of beating spaces available on our Novice driven day on 18th December. Great way to learn about beating on a driven shoot with your dog without any pressure and with guidance throughout the day.
Message or see the events page for more details

Lovely day on the peg for these 2 today 🥰🐶

18/11/2023

So so proud of this little dog, 6 and a half weeks after having a litter and she goes out and smashes it. Very unlucky right on the last bird but to come away with a CoM I am over the moon.

Why steadiness is important. Both dogs had been sent for a number of runners throughout the day prior to this drive. This bird had not been hit, he had simply landed in front of us and wandered down to the wood.
(Yes Ted is antisocial and likes to sit away from everyone else, he’s just a grumpy spaniel so we leave him to it)
Apologies for Ellie’s commentary 🤣🙈

While I’ve been out for 7 weeks now Tom has been busy with work but has had his first day back out with the dogs today. Love being sent pictures and videos of them having a great time *yes I know Holly makes a noise, it’s one of her many annoying qualities that we put up with because she’s good at her job and I’d be lost without her*

Gorgeous little Goose working on his stop whistle- so pleased with this little pup, huge huge thank you to Swift Dog Training for pointing me in his direction a few months ago 🥰🐶🪿

Lovely first day of the season for young Lark. Nice and steady, very chilled and a pleasure to have out

I think it’s safe to say- today was a tad wet!!

Goose working out place boards

Goose had his first session with a place board today. I absolutely love a mix of free shaping and luring for this. So I start with luring him into the right position to show him how to get the reward(first video) then (next video) when he knows how to get the reward I let him work it out for himself. (Apologies for Ellie’s commentary! 🙈) Also I’ve just realised how big he is already! 💖🐶🪿

Finally a little bit of starting a stop whistle and then some fun retrieves with his favourite rabbit ball from Gamekeepers Goods 💖🐶🪿

Starting to delay the reward to build onto basic stays (whilst also training my brain to use ‘yes’ instead of good for him as it’s too close to Goose!) 💖🐶🪿

Some recall practise 💖🐶🪿

Some heel work and turning practice for little Goose. He hit a bit of a mental block with the turns but they are something new and he was trying to work out what I wanted as most of his ‘sit’s have been in front of me until now. 💖🐶🪿

Proofing behaviours and being consistent means that whatever the environment is the rules never change, even when it’s just little bits like starting to introduce a little bit of patience for Goose 💖🐶🪿

Goose starting to learn some self control and steadiness. Absolutely no pressure, just learning not to do anything until he’s told 💖🐶🪿

Spaniel kind of morning this morning 😍

Fantastic confident memory retrieve to finish off the day from a promising young dog yesterday.

A number of people have asked about teaching the stop whistle so I thought I would do a series of videos showing how I start right from the beginning with Lark. This is the first time she has had a play around with a stop whistle, its kept nice and fun with a handful of her dinner and as you can see she is enjoying herself! She is now 17 weeks old. I'll put up videos as we go along with how her stop progresses 😊 any questions feel free to shout! Blazebeck Gundogs the work has begun! Gamekeepers Goods
