Heel work with our residential’s is a important part of training, as this helps with control and steadiness 😀🐶❤️ #merlingundogs #englishworkingcockers #englishworkingcocker #englishworkingcockerspaniel #gundogtrainer #gundogtraining #sprockerspaniel #englishspringerspaniel #residentieltraining #heelonlead

Here is an update of Angus one of our residential’s, he is going home tomorrow and he was in for self control particularly around other dogs, he has had lots of self control moments while been with me and the merlingundogs pack on shoots these last two weeks, steadiness and self control is a big thing in the gundog world and iv really put him to the test, iv done a vid of Angus here on the launcher and retrieving some cold game 😀❤️🐶 #merlingundogs #englishworkingcockers #englishworkingcocker #englishworkingcockerspaniel #gundogtrainer #cockerspaniel #gundogtraining #springerspaniel #residentieltraining
Last shoot today of 2024-25 and we are ready for some rest time, we have clocked up 84 days this season on shoots from grouse to partridge pheasant and ducks, what a season it’s been, and fantastic to give our residential’s the experience, but as always work and training never stops as we are full with residential’s in for training, time to dust the dummy launchers off for some in house simulated scenarios 😀🐶❤️ #merlingundogs #englishworkingcockers #englishworkingcocker #englishworkingcockerspaniel #gundogtrainer #cockerspaniel #gundogtraining #springerspaniel #merlingundogspuppy #residentieltraining
Angus one of our residential’s is improving with his retrieving game, he has got the idea, just needs more confidence in getting hold, he will get there!! 😀🐶❤️ #merlingundogs #englishworkingcockers #englishworkingcocker #englishworkingcockerspaniel #gundogtrainer #cockerspaniel #gundogtraining #springerspaniel #residentieltraining
So pleased with our residential’s Bramble, Nellie and Angus, working on lots of steadiness allowing me to work my dogs through the drive and the GEDOOT’s!! They work really well when asked, not going to far, especially Angus, he quarters really nicely! We are on shoots 5 days next week so I’m going to push Angus for some retrieving as he is nearly there, and more steadiness for Bramble and Nellie with lots of heel work 😀🐶❤️ #merlingundogs #englishworkingcockers #englishworkingcocker #englishworkingcockerspaniel #gundogtrainer #cockerspaniel #gundogtraining #springerspaniel #residentieltraining #merlingundogspuppy
