Out training in the woods around the little loch last weekend with the boys. We were having such a lovely time... and then this happened.

The problem with living with a high-energy working line dog with an intense prey drive is when they lock onto something that's all they think about.

To say my heart was in my mouth is an understatement... thankfully it was just a tummy scratch, no holes, lacerations, and p***s bone was intact - phew!

My heart was in my mouth when I saw Emrys land on the log and really thought he'd done himself some serious damage - either he saw it and positioned himself ...

Ended the week on a high with this young dog… we’ve found a fabulous training spot.

Happy days 😃🐾

A black dog… sorry a fast black dog, in the dark woods - blink and you miss him 😅

Having so much fun putting retrieving drills together for Emrys with Dante.

Training each element with each dog individually before putting them together into a drill really can highlight not only how far Emrys has come on in his training…
But also what we need to pay a bit of attention to 😅🐾

Always a little hesitant as a puppy… Emrys is only like that now when trying new food (watch out for the kiwi fruit video) - he’s an absolute power house now 🥰

Had a couple of lovely little sessions this morning.

A bit of precision work indoors first thing and then on the field for a bit of dummy work.

Going back to straight lines across natural barriers and will be building up distance over the next couple of weeks 😁🐾

I'm loving that Emrys is doing the same stuff as Spud and Dante - so, so pleased with his stop whistle 🐾

Bluddy cold this morning… -4.
Not quite cold enough for the big guns (Hurtta) but definitely cold enough for their EzyDog thermals.

Great walk, good boys 🐾

Yup he really is mad as cheese… he just loves running backwards 🐾😂💜

Bit of lead training… nope not walking on it, retrieving it, retrieving it 🐾

We’ve found a new training ground… 😀

Emrys’s first encounter with a wee piece of kiwi fruit… #merlinsmagick #thepetgundog

We should have called him Strutter…

Training in a new place with Emrys… it was only watching this back that made me realise not only how fast he is but how big he is too 🐾

Starting to work Emrys with Dante… it was a ‘spur of the moment’ retrieve using tied up leads instead of dummies. My focus was on keeping Emrys calm and quiet as Dante was coming back with the retrieve, which is why I am reminding him to sit quietly as Dante approaches. Also a great time to employ my ‘not you’ command to let Emrys know that Dante’s retrieve is nothing to do with him. Good boy 🐾

Love that Emrys is just mooching around on our walk but keeps checking in to see what I want him to do… good boy 🐾

Little bit of training with young Emrys now his tummy has settled a bit - good boy 🐾. Merlins' Magick - The life and times of Emrys the young black labrador #thepetgundog #thepetgundogclub

When you forget to take your whistle out and your dog shows an interest in the second dummy 😅… Good boy Emrys 🐾 #thepetgundog

Steadiness training gundogs with food

Developing self control in our dogs is absolutely key as you never know what’s round the corner…

A wee memory retrieve in the woods 🐾
