Hunting Lad 49 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Hi everyone, my spaniel pup is now 6 months old and I am looking to start getting it into a routine and doing some formal training with him. Just two ten to fifthteen minute lesson each day... I have got all the basics in there just relaxed nothing has been done too seriously just through play etc. He will sit and stay no bother recall is spot on and is retrieving fine. My question is... How far do I take his training to start with?? Where do I want to be with the dog by the time it is 7 months etc... What target should I set myself to get the dog too by then? I have watched a dvd which shows you the techniques to use but it doesnt give you time scales etc when to move to what. I just need to know what to aim for over a period of time. The dog is allready pretty steady to the stay command and wont run in or go off once he has been told to stay. Maybe I have allready gone a bit far ahead of myself... This is my first gundog and I want to get it right so any avdice is much apprieciated and the dog is going to be used for beating picking up and rough shooting... Anybody know of any good training course in county durham/north yorkshire as this would also be good to help me gain a better understanding. Regards Ben.... Quote Link to post
