  5. did you use fur and feather on the dummies or have you switched from dummies straight onto cold game.plus try not to use large or heavy dummies / cold game at first. as soon as dog picks up retrieve get it's attention and run away from it to distract it from whats in its mouth and to focus on getting back to you .plus it just could be she needs to get used to the feel of the game.little often and plenty of praise. not a trainer but hope this gives you some ideas.atb.

  16. Hi all,Im new to using multi choke shot gun.How can i tell the difference between chokes. Thanks I have a Bettinsoli Dimond and it has 5 chokes with it.
  17. Try putting feathers on the dummie or put the bird in a sock and pull a wing out every now and again and eventually it gets to the hole bird. Put in sock. Cut hole in sock. Pull wing out of hole same on the otherside the week or two after. Pull head out 2 weeks after that and then all the bird. Try it it might work or it might not but it worked for other dogs with that problem that i know of.
  18. I use the Joe Irving's book aswell,its a good book for a beginner,I also recommend basic and advanced spaniel training for the gun, two DVD'S by Ian Openshaw. here here.......
  19. i dont chase him, i walked to the other end of the garden & sat down, he came looking for me eventually but wouldnt come close, he then buggered off again and chewed sevral holes in the dummy! Go back to basics mate ,get the recall rock solid. Yep prob the best thing to do if you have tried everything els.
