Lovely video ❤ I wonder if you could add captions for the deaf of hearing? I would really like to know what you are saying about training the dogs. Thank you friend.
I will look into the auto caption thing again, people and Ai have issues with the accent ... plus I am not the clearest auditor at the best of times !! Thanks for your support.
Enjoyed the video Think you're right, pushing a spaniels out to 250-300m is no mean feat What I might have tried was to also drop a dummy just shy of the brow. Sent him out to pick that, then immediately sent him out for one of the others hoping he'd draw confidence from the successful pick to push on further. But getting it out as far as you did is good even if he failed to pick He's a bonny dog, seemed to enjoy himself in the woods. Shoot over mine so they rarely go that far for a fallen bird, more likely a really long retrieve would be on a runner where they've taking a line. Horses for course and all that. Anyway always enjoy your videos long or short, also (nowt to do with the dogs) I enjoy the music you have on the video too. All the best, cheers.
Thanks Peter, the reason I persist (thus far anyway) with training him to ‘get out’ was an instance last season when the labs were out picking runners then a 3rd bloody runner dropped close to us and took off. Wee Sonny was the only tool in the box I had left, he seen it and I sent him, he took the line spot on but got so far out after and proceeded to slow up and circle round! Young dog in his first season and all that, confidence issue🤷🏼 I should have tried what you said today ! A fair distance he did go out though like you say. He is a braw wee guy, I should maybe just embrace what he excels at. It was good seeing Big Red back on song, his heads been up his ar$e recently. Thanks for your support Peter.
@@Michael-j7n9m really depends on the other dog and the situation. If they know the other dogs it’s generally fine, regular dog walks you see the same people. If they are all out together and off the lead, which they mostly are, and see someone new or the odd dog that I know is ‘trouble’ I’ll just sit mine up and let the other dog past. Cooper, the black lab, is the pack leader and probably the most sociable so if he goes for a sniff the others will follow. It’s very much dependent on the situation, now that I’ve a pack I often think it’s intimidating for a single dog to have all these dogs wanting to have a sniff etc so tend to err on the side of keeping them tight at heal. The other consideration when having a pup in the mix,which I have at the moment is the other dogs being protective of him, my big red lad is the ‘minder’. Again though it’s reading the situation and knowing your dogs. The beginning of a day working on ‘a shoot’ is something else though 🤦🏻♂️ The main shoot I work at has mostly 4 Picking Up guys and we all have 3 or 4 dogs….all dogs (males) hormones raging , full of bravado and ‘I’m the best fkn worker ‘ so when they all get let out our trucks there can often be some snarling and raised hackles but amazingly once they all get to doing what they are their for there is mostly harmony! It’s just the initial willy waggling at the start that they all have to get off their chests, when the season starts it’s all they live for .
Another good one. Looking forward to seeing youre newcomer soon. All the best.

hi again, the 'subtitle' function is working on my videos in the 'settings' facility' but like I say not totally accurate in picking up my accent.
Enjoyed the video

How do your dogs react to other dogs
