cantona 310 Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 What age would you start. Dog at a gundog training club, my pups 6 months old and now mad for hunting so I am going to keep her on a lead then take her to a training club, I will train her in the garden in the mean time, but until what age ?

the monkey 337 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Most training clubs run through the summer so you should be ok when spring comes Quote Link to post
eddie3 9 Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 A pup is never too young to start training little and often, Quote Link to post
butcherboy 68 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 What type of dog is it? If a spaniel what sort of hunting do you think you'll be doing at the club? Quote Link to post

If a spaniel what sort of hunting do you think you'll be doing at the club? it's a sprocker I originally bought to use with lurchers but now hopefully train as a gun dog, if the gundog classes start about march time it will make her nearly a year so from what I gather that would be about right?

the monkey 337 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 don't be tempted to take her out hunting with other dogs because she will start pulling ahead and when it becomes a habit its hard to stop. look on you tube for training films ....I like Edward martin Quote Link to post
whitefeet4190 1,724 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 I'd start with basic commands from 6 months old Quote Link to post
