Get the basics right, from him sitting as a young dog just getting used to a tennis ball dropping and understanding he can’t bolt for it.
The biggest reason steadiness fails is because it isn’t drilled enough, heel means heel and sit means sit. If you have those 2 things solid you’re half way there.

I think someone was excited to start her season 🤣.
Mango 🥭 has always been happy to bring back to hand but can get impatient if I don’t take the retrieve straight away.
I always want my dogs to keep the retrieve until I’m ready and be settled be settled with it.
So here we are just slowing it all down and keeping her calm.
When pups are young I always limit how much free time they have interacting with other dogs even my own. I want them to learn that their most important bond is the one they have with me and that I am the one that provides them with food, fun and training.
Despite the big lass coming for a nosey Mango 🥭 still wants to go pick the retrieve and come back to me regardless of another dog being in the way.
This indifference is something that is missing in alot of dogs especially in the pet world. #dogtraining #foxredlab #gundog #gooddog
Cracking afternoon on the pigeons.
Swimming isn’t maggies strong point she like to splash and distract her self on the way out. But we got her there eventually, she swims a lot nicer once she has the retrieve.
When people say genetics don’t matter…. They lie.
11 weeks old done nothing with her other than play and let her fetch a ball a few times. You can already see the hunt pattern starting to come out.
For me this is great to see and watch but if you get the wrong genetics to suit your life style or aims this is where your training gets harder, because your battling a dogs genetic make up from day one rather than embracing it.
3 of these are dogs all of which are covered and one of these is a bitch in season. If the training is right dogs and bitches should be able to mix in a controlled environment fine.
That goes for the pups too,
I always stress how important foundations are and building the bond and trust.
The majority of sessions are 1-1 but now she’s started coming out with the big ones now and again she still needs to keep an ear out for me.
Even when they are having abit of down time it doesn’t do any harm to make sure they are still listening.
Mango 🥭 recalling from the other pups and Flo. Keep reinforcing the behaviours we want.
1st time outside and on the grass. 👌👌👌
