We took Kite and Ghost for a 1:1 training session with Paul Truby of Millershook Gundogs today and it was BRILLIANT!
As you may remember, Paul owns Moss, the sire of Ghost and competed Merlin in the IGL Championships 2024. He has produced many FTCH's and is busy bringing on young dogs so is at the top of his game. It was so amazing to get the best instruction, from a great trainer, in fabulous facilities. We took Ghost to make a positive start with her heelwork and recall training and came away with lots to work on and how to do it RIGHT with the best results. She did so well and we were incredibly happy with her, for her 1st time doing anything like it. Kite went so that we can double check her progress and work on fine tuning a few things. She was a star, as always, and it was really nice to hear from Paul that she doing well. Our plan for her is to do as many tests as possible this summer and see where we can go with her. The long term plan is to trial Ghost and with help from Paul, we definitely think this is achievable.
We would recommend Paul to anyone looking for expert advice at any level. He explained everything perfectly and was very patient. We had a 2hr session which flew by!
We are going to work hard, put everything into practice and go back for more training in a couple of weeks. 👍😊
