Thanks for that Graham. Minx is a baby sister to our Broadwing Crafty Illusion, aka, Copper. She is beautiful and with such a similar look about her Smile

Welcome to the forum Graham.

Any chance of a brief description of the training methods used for this. I noticed the spaniel is given a tennis ball at the end. Is this just a general training reward or has the dog in fact been trained to find its ball; and in so doing it has found a person?
