farmerkev09 104 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 It's all about building the dogs confidence in the early stages of training I don't send a dog in cover unless I know theres something in to retrieve or flush so they get in there mindset it's fun to go in bushs Quote Link to post

v-max 2 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Hi you could do with getting access to an area with a lot of sent of game etc on ground. A very good hight population of rabbits would be best with good ground cover for hunting to flush. If you could fall in with another cocker or ess to work in front of her & let her see. I can't beleave you can't get her working but a lot of scented ground should get her motoring along. You really need to find game laden ground with the sent to drive her it should just come natural. Either that they sold her on at that age for a reason. Might be worth finding a trainer with a rabbit pen I could well be money well spent to get her going etc hope this helps. Quote Link to post
