    Joe Irving's book is great, but one thing i would say that dint work for me with my ESS is that i should of taught her HEAL as soon as i could. As she started to pull all the time and want to dash off to do her own thing. luckerly a friend pointed me in the right direction. If you want a Pro's advice, give Andy Cullen a ring at www.laochingundogs.com he's real top bloke and knows his stuff, he's helped me out no end of times when i need a push in the right direction. Other then that, dont EVER introduce it too cold/warm/any form of game till its brilliant on a dummy, as mine now will nev

    i can definatly say Andy Cullen is the same, no nonsence and down to earth ways of explaining and showing what he means. you can also see the dogs he works love him to pieces and he treats them well.

    my opinion from my experiance is 3/4 and full, (yes i know 99% of others like less choke) but this is what suits me, ohhh and i also find it clean kills them much better and they'll fall straight into your patten without you havin to go set them up!!! and if your missing, well if i do that, i look at the wind, how strong is it? if its blowin gently.... a good bit of lead, if its a strong wind an looks to be holding the pigeons in mid air/moving very slow. then start by shootin at the tip of the beaks then moving it out slightly more each time. YES im awhere that this sounds strange but when i

    the lads when on tour use, "sniper tape" ebay/google it comes in green or tan. when i used it, constantly for 6months, firing most days it needed replacing a few times but with the ammount you get on a roll that wont matter! and you can put cam paint on to it to yout liking! bonus is, it doesnt mark your barrel when you take it off either!

    cheers guys, i tried what you suggested tonite on our walk and it worked a treat. tho i only did it twice as i wanted to make it worth while ones, and i had to wait quite awhile 'cus the pigeons had been on the stubble and left plenty of sent! thanks once again!

    hi guys/gals my 4month springer has suddenly decided that she no longer wants to listen to the recall whistle, though she'll happly turn look at me then carry on with what she was doin!!! then come back in her own good time. would'nt mind if she had'nt already nearly got it down to a T! (i've only taught her to hup and recall, and left it at that as i thought it'd be too much to soon) and shes had it pretty much spot on till the last 3/4 days and now shes plainly takin the piss! so.... anyone got any good tips? many thanks

    alrite mate i've got a 14 week springer pup. joe irving's springer spaniel. is a great book!
  17. yellow belly
    cheers guys thats loads of help! as for not pushing the training. i was'nt going to introduce anything new till she was 6months old. i've also go joe irving's book on training spaniels, anything you'd not recomend that he does, and if so why? i just wanted to make sure i was doing as much as i could without over doing it! as for getting her out and about. she comes most places with me, in the car used to be a drama for the first 4 or 5 rides. now she just gets her head down or watches the world go by!! any tips or tricks regarding introducing her to livestock? thanks again!!!

    hi guys/girls i have a fantastic little 14 week old springer pup and shes a pleasure to take out on her walks. she already comes back to the whistle and sits when asked of her and thats as much training i've done with her. i encourage her to hunt with "find it" and shes already putting her nose to the ground and scamppers off to find what she can. but heres my "problem" if there is one. shes more then happy to follow her nose if the grass aint too high or thick, how can i encourage her to get on in the long grass or is it a case of wait and she'll do it herself in her own time?! che

    go to the CPSA (google it) website and you'd need Safety officers. Dont think it'd be too bad to have one of you as an "instructor" qualified via the CPSA. other then that im sure you need a certain certificate off plod so that you can have non SGC's holders to perchase cartridges to be uses on the range. feel free to correct me if im wrong, hope this helps. but im sure thts what i heard along the grape vine!
