    Sussex is right, the law relating to footpaths is one of those unchallenged laws, Rights: you have as much right to walk along a footpath as long as you have permission on both sides, you can legally walk along side a walker. Morals and common sense: keep off, whilst legally you can shoot over a footpath common sense says don't, I would suggest a hide or high seat with your back to the footpath would be fine. The stupid thing is its not illegal to shoot across a footpath, changes needed there one thinks, but most shooters use the common sense approach A few years ago I had a mem

    Sorry but I don't agree with this... you need to set the fact a whistle is an extension of the voice, to start you say sit and as you say it you pip the whistle once, ensure the dog sits straight away not when he is ready, if he doesn't push down lightly to make him sit do this many many times and then you say either say sit or pip once and the dog will learn to sit. when mastered go on to the recall make the dog sit walk sideways to start just once step and turn around hold your hand to the dog like a policeman stopping traffic, and walk backwards only 10 ft or so and call your dog to you

    I'm not trying to do anything, I am not the OP, I've got my calculator out but it hasn't answered the questions I put to you...what you have said above is not what you said before,

    Why would you take dummies away? How are you going to train and expand on her training? So what your saying is give in and only let the dog do what she wants to do? Rather than spend time and encourage her back to dummies so you can continue training.

    This is caused because you have pushed a little hard, I have a 1 yr old and he is a regular on the shooting field but you have to be carefull, know the dog and progress at their pace, the theory is you start on a dummy get all the basics done then you introduce warm game. Once warm game has come in you open another ball game that is the ultimate goal, once you've had champagne you don't like cider. Once she got on a rabbit dummies are boring. In your words youve shouted at her so where you have become anxious you have passed this on. This must stop. Don't forget obedience as said ab

    still not had a reply or a confession that its done to make money, as ive said before if you don't want to do it, give up the land and let someone do the same job from here without ripping people off. how can you charge for 10 days of shooting knowing you cant shoot 10 bucks? im off shooting now and it aint costing a penny, bit of fuel, and a bullet.

    Natural England are the people you need but and its a big but you have to prove for some time damage is being done that cant be stopped in other ways, and each license is per land only.

    surely its a classic answer an error in the handlers training that is often left out, you have done what many people do and part of growing up as a puppy he should see all these things, if you are going to work them they will see deer, sheep, birds, cats etc, so take them and show them. When I was a huntsman I took over a pack that had a few hounds who chased sheep, when I spoke to the whip on exercise as I went into a field of sheep he said "don't go in this field there is sheep in there" and there lies the issue, so every day I went into the same field and walked at them not away from them,

    Interesting reading:- Schilder and colleagues (2004) compared the behaviour of dogs trained using shock collars with a control group of dogs, during both free walking in a park and training sessions. They found that in both situations the dogs previously trained using shock collars showed more behaviours associated with stress than dogs trained in similar way, but without shock collars. They concluded that the dogs associated the presence of the handler with the aversive shock, as they were showing fearful behaviour even when free walked in a different context. Is the application

    dunno I've never paid for stalking, but I am taking someone out from this site for free next week... and yes we have a big bin and all we do is throw money into it that's called boating, a 40ft cruiser is my baby but my god does it cost, The good bit is that I've found a new buyer and they collect so I've had a pay rise, got 3 big beasts yesterday and didn't have to pay the shot fee or anything, all it cost was £3 in bullets, some sweat dragging them, although its getting better as I drove across the field to one of them. The land I shot these on was the place I went to on Sunday I ha

    One of my dogs is a 15 month ESS and she is dummy dummy dummy, sit stay mean nothing when you throw a dummy, yes she is secondhand, yes she is head strong, yes she pulls on a lead, will I inflict pain? No. Will I hit her? No, I will take my time very quietly in a field for 10 mins twice a day and we will get there and if I feel like screaming I will make her do something right and call it a day. What I loved today was my superstar working cocker had dirty eyes as he walked towards me and I bent over put my hand out to clean his eyes, as I offered my hands up to his eyes he didn't flinch at bi

    I think it depends who owns the land. Anyone who owns their own land and charges fees to keep the estate going I can understand and sort of accept. But anyone who pays a landowner then sub it out just to make money is wrong, do you buy the deer and release them like pheasant shoots? No , if you don't pay for the shoot I can guarantee there will be a ton of people on here who will take over the land do it for free, do the same job and take some novices out for free as well. I have a boat and my marina charge what's called a contractors fee, when someone works on my boat, so anytime i have

    Excuse my French but what a load of shlt, follow this and you will have a hard fight and a hard dog at the end, there is no gain through pain, remember the goal, a dog is sent off for a shot bird, he needs to use his nose, find, then return ,come to you happy that he has done his job, hand you the game and sit in front of you and wait to be told he is good. Do you think a dog that has been trained by any other means will do this???
