I have two different wingers. The one that i think would work for you is the Gunner Up I have the smaller one i believe is called son of a gun or something like that. Zinger winger is the other one i have. I'm not sure if they have a smaller one. You must have went back and watched some vidios.

Thank you, Maverick does LOVE to work!!

I'm using Dogtra's RT Edge This particular collar has 3 levels of stimulation at each level. example level 1 has low, medium and 1. It have this at each level 1-8. With that said i generally use medium 1 to 1. Some of the spaniels are super sensitive to stimulation so I use low 1 to medium 1 for those dogs.

that'll vary with each indivdual dog. generally 3 to 4 times

Thanks we'll be posting more on this series

everyone will be moving forward in the next few days, will get Step Three up shortly!

Thanks! Glad you are finding the videos helpful. There will be a few additional videos to this series as the dogs progress through the steps....stay turned:)

Yes she is, super fun big running little bit of a thing! Is going to be fun to watch her mature. Thanks for watching!

Last Hawk Maddie litter is scheduled for her next heat- breeding should be in the next week or so (fingers crossed) making whelping end of December.

Not all in one video, probably closest puppy progression video is the "Developing Your Hunting Springer Spaniel puppy foundation building milestones 8 weeks-6 mo." All commands are reinforced through repetition and essentially the pups are learning the "Here" command with verbal and whistle. "Here" is the only command we insist on with our pups. Formal Obedience does not start until 6-8 months, best view of that progression is through the "Introduction to the E-Collar" There are 13 videos in the series that show Draven's progression through the program. Prior to these lessons with the collar on, all of the same material was covered without the collar, there is a ton of good info there about how the other handling commands are incorporated from yard work to field work. Hope this helps!

Thank you! We enjoy where we live and train.

it could help, a little bit harder to do with a steady dog, we'll be posting videos of casting drills soon these may be better suited for older dogs. We'll be doing this with two labs that we are teaching to quarter as well as one 11 month old spaniel. Should have these up first part of November

For our Field Trial prospects we would not hunt them prior to being reliably steady. In this video you see Boone who is not steady running, in this case his owner will be having him on lead during this hunting season for experience, and then he plans to bring him back after the season to steady him up. Boone's owner is not interested in Field Trials so steadiness is not as much of a priority to him as it will be for McKenzie and River.

Thanks David, yes, this is one of the most rewarding, and as you said crucial times in puppy development, all three went through this part of training very well. Did you get the chance the watch all three of the pups? It has been great fun to develop these three littermates, all excel at natural drive and ability, different styles, different temperaments. Will be great to watch them grow up!

Thank you, it is fun sharing our little family with everyone, so happy to hear you are enjoying them!

I will be bringing home a working English cocker for my first bird dog in November. We are so excited!

Absolutely! Even for Puppy Stakes the dog must be steady to the flush, shot and always to the hup whistle. And even when they are consistently steady in the field during training, you want to see that consistency hold true for as many bird contacts as you can provide to ensure that holds during a trial.

Next question- Should I take the risk to hunt with a spaniel that isn’t steady or stops? I just got him an ecollar. I’m in a hunting club but the other dogs are more advanced and I just watch. My dog is inconsistent because his training is inconsistent.

@@boblathrop9983 if your planning on field trialing or hunt test.. Your dog needs to be steady. if you hunt with an unsteady dog the chance of getting him reliably steady later is not good and if you do the flush could be hampered. Buying an E-Collar and strapping it on your dog really isn't. a good idea either. if you watch the Draven series you will see how to properly collar condition your dog as well as how to steady your dog. I'm not in favor of hunting my dogs with a group of dogs. Never liked the coyote mentality that creates.

Thank you. Wishing you the best with your new pup!

Thanks, he is a fun one for sure! Puppy trials are a hoot, never know what might happen. Be sure to introduce yourself if you see we are there, Draven will likely be running Open by then.

LOL..."goes all wrong", is pretty vague, but I will try to address what you are asking. This is a really advanced drill for dogs who are thoroughly conditioned to all commands, specifically the turn whistle and here. Calling a dog off of that clearly visible and very tempting bird to take the command to go where I tell them to go is high level training and requires an experienced dog. If any of the prerequisite training and experience is not in place do not attempt to put it all together. Take some steps back in your training, concentrate on once piece of the drill at a time. For example: put your dog at hup remotely, (take several steps away from them) hand throw a clip wing bird, preferably in the direction in which you could intervene if necessary, release the dog for the retrieve then when the dog is half way to the bird, give the hup command, sit them down, and call them back to you without going after that bird. This is just one step of preparing for this kind of advanced drill. A good series to watch would be the Draven E-Collar Series, all of this series work can be done without an E-Collar, and prepares you and your working dog conditioning the commands you will need for future training. Also any of the Control videos are all part of getting to these Advanced skill levels. Hope this helps your friend😆

@@WhitewaterGundogs yes thanks, I have and train trial dogs. Not a drill I have used before so thanks for sharing it.

@@windyplainsinc1298 excellent! Hopefully meet you in the field at some point!

At the very beginning is called a "Walk Up" we come out of holding blind and take a sharp left then proceed to the spot that the bird is launched then judges are behind so they can judge if the dog is steady for the walkup prior to being released. Dogs are so focused on the retrieve, rarely do they pay any attention at all to the judges.

In our experience sex of the dog makes little difference in drive, it is individual to the dog and their breeding.

Ok just curious Thank you

Congrats, from Rick? A healthy mix of fear and excitement is normal, but temper that with full doses of love and attention, you have this!!

They are doing great!

Thanks Jackie, they are a fun bunch for sure!

All nice only one left

I've been using these birds since 2002. this strain was brought in from Afghanistan where they are a migratory bird. They fly pretty well if fed right. Anywhere from 40 yards to just plan leave the field. the breeder raise them for falcon food.

You are correct. Flint has Seasoned Title and is training for HRCH Finished and AKC Master, which does have triple marks. We are always looking toward the next level that the dogs will be tested under, training harder than the test requires, always.

Sorry, Jay life got hectic around here with new litter of pups so videographer aka: Sonda, has not been able to get videos up. Will get on it this week🤣

Thanks Jay, We think so too, she is out of our FC HRCH "Hawk" and (2 points from FC) HR "Maddie". They have produced 8 pups and 7 of them are actively running or training for Field Trials, expecting Dahlia will be ready by next Spring.

A really strong recall. I'm going to assume she is doing this on the ground and not the table. I would go as far as putting a check cord on her and throw her a bird, as soon as she gets her mouth on it pull on the check cord and give the here command. The key is to get her to return to you immediately i wouldn't worry about whether the bird came back with her or not. This is called indirect training fixing a problem by working on a different issue.

Thank you

Yes, I think Paul went home with some good homework, will be fun to see their progress

Foxtail is terrible this year, forced into the short wheat field for now, but that will be out too tall for the young ones in a few weeks. Lots of water work in our future.

Unfortunately not at this stage or with this drill, most effective if you can have at least two people. In the beginning the birds would be delivered back to which ever of the handlers throws the bird, and then called to the next side, for the toss and retrieve, repeating for the One Out-One Up. This would ideally be repeated over the course of a couple weeks until the dog starts automatically delivering the bird and then heading for the other side. Sometimes with older pups you can use planted birds on either side of the field, but not nearly as effective and much more difficult to get the desired results. You could always come to Oregon and we can put you through training. Have a new litter due July, we could start you off 🤣😂😁

@@WhitewaterGundogs lol I wish I could blast out there. The reason I asked is my two year old Springer hunts fine , but I would like more of a field trial type quartering. I just need my friends (with labs… lol..) to understand the timing of a drill like this.HAVE A GREAT DAY!

@@jaybird4610 yes, a couple of friends will help the process!

LOL...maybe something about that, but pretty sure it's just part of training in general 😅

No, not at all. Key is starting these pups with birds early (we start at 6-7 weeks) very soft mouth, and learn early on how to carry without hurting the bird. Sometimes if you wait for live bird introduction until they are older (some programs suggest waiting until over 12 Months) In our experience, much higher risk that mouth issues can occur.

Andy, we just posted a video of our new Pup McKenzie- 7 weeks old, with her first birds, this might help show how we choose to introduce birds to help avoid mouth issues as the dogs progress in their development.

Glad it was helpful!

Rogue finished his Seasoned level last year, you should come up for the Lower Columbia Hunt Test, June 21-23, excellent grounds!

@@WhitewaterGundogs definitely thinking of doing that one!

Thank you, he is a pretty special little guy!
