Daft idea?

[air gun ant 1,666]

Hello lads, I have a 4 1/2 month old cocker and was wondering if it's a daft idea to take him beating with me this weekend, not to beat as such he can stay in the truck during the drives. I was just thinking in between drives to get him used to scents and sounds of the shooting field and game in general? Also to socialise with some of the other dogs? Maybe walk one or two of the smaller drives on the lead to see other dogs wrking? He doing really well at walking to heel got the recall spot on and he's got the stop whistle figured out just don't want to ruin a promising dog! He's my first "gun dog" and usually get walked on the canal with the terrier but inevitably she gets the odd rat which is great but don't want him getting in the same habits lol

Thanks ant
