Cara in action on day 2. This gives some idea of the level of noise the dogs need to filter out to concentrate on their handler's whistle. There is a scurry going on up the hill which was nearer than I was to her to hear my whistle.
From showdog on saturday to developing his working gundog side tonight at training. Yeats.
Today at Swords and district Championship show Ir sh ch Sea 'nland Master of the Sea for Riverrun won Best of Breed and Group 2 under judge Ms Z Konderla, ( Poland ). It was extra special to have his breeder Claudia Breifgoff from Germany to be watching ringside.
14 weeks old. Riverrun Honour. This was a memory. Dummy dropped out in water then turned walked back from the bank and released. No pressure to retrieve just figuring out where we're at. Well, I guess we can check that one off now 😀 , leave water work for a while and focus on grass roots obdedience.
Ready to take on the world.....
This is Yeats sister in Germany. Lovely style.
Yeats just starting to gain confidence handling at a distance. The added distractions of following instructions out in the field today instead of the garden. #DogTraining
Happy to be able to recreate a scenario today. Ground that was similar in layout to a trial we competed in last month. One gun took down 2 birds in a drive. In the trial Cara was sent for the bird on the right. She had taken a nice line and then pulled left towards the gun in the trial and I couldn't handle her back to the right. Today with the similar set up ,she again pulled left but listened and took direction.#smallwins
