trying to train dogs

armed with my enthusiasm from the weekend i have decided to try and improve my dogs. Bonny has a mind of her own and wont come till she wants, so i have started to use the long line on her, this means she can run off lots of steam but i can get her back. I am using the whistle as her signal to come and making lots of fuss of her when she does come, before she would dash off as soon as i touched her but she has greatly improved since i stared with the long line, i not going to let her loose again till i sure i have got full control i am not going to let a little terrier get the better of me lol.

Good idea Mandy, i can't stand dissobeadent dog's

next one i nead to improve is young pointer Floyd cant run much steam off him on the long line but am training him to whistle commands he doing ok so far

persuaded a moor keeper to let me use part of the moor for dog training today he said i can use it for a month so went straight up with floyd on his long line he had a good hour up there behaved very well did one nice point we saw 2 grouse and 2 hares it gave him much more to think about up there and he loved it

Beautiful looking lad he is Mandy. Good luck with your training. Why dont you attend the dog training day that is dvertised on WFF with Miliscer Gundogs, maybe pick up even more tips.
