In the pipeline at the moment is ..............

General Obedience Stuff.

Gundog work appropriate to the participants.

Hopefully a session for those who may be interested in running in the October TAN but have no idea what is involved. Obviously the TAN is not trained for as it is Natural Apptitude but I know when I did it with Chase I would have appreciated knowing what would be expected.

Waterwork.

Possibly some Cold Game Retrieving again dependant on participants.

Feedback welcome Very Happy

I need someone to teach me how to get my dog to focus on me instead of self hunting, hopefully steady to flush will be sorted when I go to see Andy Cullen next month, as I believe he has a supply of pigeons ready fro dizzying. Hope also to go over to Bill sometime soon for general work on hunting and retrieving

Steadiness and control at a distance for me please, with distractions if possible

Can possibly borrow a bolting rabbit John - would that be of interest for you? Also would control at distance be alluding to redirecting or stop, distance stays etc?

Bolting rabbit would be good, I've used them with Moss in the past but not for some time, so a reintroduction would be useful.

Control at a distance is primarily enforcing the sit, but revisiting directional control would agan be useful as would general steadiness at a distance

To be honest it doesn't really matter to me what we do as I find when left to my own devices I rarely take the opportunity to go back to basics
