dunc 7 Posted September 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 cheers lads had her through the river 2 or 3 times the day went OK she will com on, shes not keen on going in to cover either i take it these dogs are slow to train, ? Quote Link to post
kiwi 4 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 the only problem they have is thier body grows faster than thier brain. both the water and cover issue can be fixed by dummy work, however try not to teach her to be a spaniel by hunting her like one in the cover.

Dave C 63 Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Try her on cold game mate, at 12 months she may be a bit board with the dummy and something with a bit of scent will get her blood up a bit so she wont even notice the thickest cover. ATB Dave. Quote Link to post
