So interesting to watch how you keep dogs tight. Here in the wild west we seem to be pushing dogs out constantly and are looking for approx. 15 yards (45 feet) in each direction to cover a coarse. Amazing how these little dogs can adapt so well to different hunting styles!
The problem is that distance, if your dog flashes a bird and it goes directly away from the dog you would be shooting directly at the dog which obviously wouldn't be safe ..
@@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314 yes I know what you are saying and guns for sure need to see plenty of "sky" above the dog before shooting a bird going away from a dog. Plenty of shots are not taken in that scenario. Keeping a dog close would avoid those missed opportunities.
Excellent advice. We are in the process of training our soon to be year old English Cocker. Your videos are like the Bible of training. Thank you so much. Cooper says Thank you too. He is the Best dog we have ever had. Such a smart lad. ❤️🐾❤️
I'd Love to see you training a h.p.r. from a pup. New and fun for you and fun and informative for me. Seeing as though the gsp is a bit too common these days I'd like to see you with something along the lines of a Korthal's Griffon, Hungarian wirehaired vizsla or a German longhaired pointer. Great video as always 👍
@@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314 Ah go on try it out! Only joking but I would've liked to have seen you train something out of your comfort zone. I suppose you're niche is for spaniels .
You mention keeping them in a 15 foot range for early training. When they do advance, what distance do you want them to eventually work at in a grassy open field? Thanks.
Generally at novice level, I would always prefer to keep the dog within 15 feet as once you go beyond that range. Most novices will generally end up losing control of their dog. It's all about knowing your dog and your strength and weaknesses.
@@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314 I only ask because I have English Setters and they work very far out as a pointing breed, with a flushing dog the distance is close but not sure how far you really want that dog to work out from you. I suppose it could be a preference, but it's my first flushing breed, a suggestion would help give me a better idea to guide me with my first one.
I have an older dog, 5 yrs, that has done some basic field work before he was ours, which was mistly retrieving. Which of your videos would be best for me to study to keep him flushing no more than a few feet in front, rather than running off too far ahead? Thanks
So I'm always saying that a good beating dog isn't necessary. Going to have a lot of flushes. Most of the dogs in the beating line are 50 yards ahead chasing the birds that are already moving. You. Are there to find the bird that you were about to walk past so keep your dog super close And find the birds that people are missing not the birds that are already moving
Spaniel can have two or three different roles within the shooting sector but with a young dog I would generally want to hunt a close range as it's the safest long-term option that doesn't mean that you couldn't extend that distance later on for example if you are mine sweeping whilst picking up. but most incidents come with dogs when the control isn't there the dogs end up too far away ending up with a contact on some sort of game and then often chasing it which leads to chaos and the dog generally being out of control obviously there are lots of different circumstances and situations, but I just tried to cover this basic level

Wonderful description of the human movement involved in the training process.
Been trying to get my dog to hunt closer. This works perfect. As do all of the other training tips.
Hope it helps

Thank you that's very kind
Absolutely brilliant videos, you come across very very well 👍. If I lived closer to you I would 100% come to your training 👍. All the very best.
Many thanks

It's not really my thing and I have limited kennel space so I have to be selective and what I keep. Thanks for the idea though.
@@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314 Ah go on try it out! Only joking but I would've liked to have seen you train something out of your comfort zone. I suppose you're niche is for spaniels .
To get a pup going would you place 4 or 5 balls in an area for them to get the idea of hunting and if so would they be placed without pup seeing.
Yes you can do that but some times they find them to quick which is why I like doing it this was ☺️
@@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314 yer I’ve stopped the seen ones as she’s like billy and finds to quick now.

Great video. My pup has caught me tossing the retrieve. Now he’s circling me. Any advice?
Yes stop doing it if you need to put them out do it before hand unfortunately, the moment has now gone, so you might need to pre-replant them

And when would you use this close by hunting ?

We say "hunt close" but i don't hear you giving a command.
We are using the pip to bring the dog in close across the toes to find a retrieve, so the Dog associates coming into you on the pep whistle
Thanks- that makes sense.
