    as the title suggests i had my 16 month ess out at the weekend and he caught a young pheasant and pretty much gripped him very tightly i had to ring its neck as its back leg was shagged. Has anybody got any suggestions as to where to go from here. Also could this turn him hard mouthed or is that related to something else thanks in advance

    praise the lord finally making progress what i finally got to work was putting him sitting with the dummy in his mouth and calling him in to me, hopefully we will be able to move on from this point thanks all for your suggestion

    my nine month old springer when retrieving he does everything fine till it comes to the delivery he keeps running around in circles just in front of me. very frustrating what would be the best plan of attack

    silence reigns once again he barked once since i put him in his run and one squirt in the face and nothing since. I never expected a result as quick as that brilliant thanks all

    unfortunately i cannot get a bone anywhere today but i have started with a squirt of water and it seems to have the desired effect, its great to have access to everybody on this forum who have the knowledge and advice thanks again guys

    Is there any fear that giving hime a bone may lead to hard mouth or interfere with his training down the line

    i have an 8 mth old springer for a week now and i have have been keeping him in the utility room till the run was finished he has a tendency to bark and howl when i put him back in the utility room and also first thing in the morning. I put him into the run for about ten minutes the other day and he went mental. He is coming from a home where he was kennelled with another springer. Is this just a case of he needs time to adjust or could i be in for a long few months of it. Any advice would be most grateful

    didnt change the charger connect no just that fused wire that goes to the battery two years it could be the battery is buggered, memory damage sounds likely. has it had heavy use in those two years as they only last so long. i would have used it two or three times a week from september to march

    i will have to check them but it was straight forward enough to change over, just two connectors where they connected to the plus and minus on the battery Very strange. In your first post you mention the wire melting around the fuse... Does this fuse need replacing??? Sorry that was on the original wire ,i have replaced that now with a new one i got. i wonder is the battery damaged
