Really helpful video and excellent pointers to follow. I’m finding your training advice really useful in training my 6 month old border collie. Many thanks 😎
We did training with you 10 years ago and it’s so engrained in me. Great to hear it all again. My husband drives me crazy though by whistling the dogs to come but keeping walking. Complete mixed messages. Training the human is harder than the dog at times! 😂
Thanks for another brilliant video. So many people get it wrong when casually walking their dogs me included.
Hi Charlie, just wanted to leave a small comment, great video as always. I've found your content really useful in training my Doberman (around 1 year old now,) who is similar in age (helpfully!) to Waffle.
Few things for context:
1) I've always been really careful to maintain a clear distinction between my commands for recall. I use "with me" for a general directional, 'come this way' type command to re-focus my dog back toward me. I then use "come" for a 'come and stand next to me' command (close enough to get back on the slip lead) and finally "in" for back on leash. I also use "me" for 'look at me' prior to releasing him from the leash "off we go!" or going into / leaving the house.. whilst in a sit of course.
2) My dog became very reliable off-lead and is very attentive to me when when walking.. I think using some of your suggested 'dynamism' running away when on walks, loudly shouting"bye" (which walks great as an emergency recall btw...) has really helped with this. He also doesn't really tend to venture more than 20m from me and will generally stay within 5 or so metres of me when walking off lead.
Now I recently have felt that my dog has become a little less responsive to recall commands. I'd initially blamed this on him being around the dreaded 'teenage' age for a Doberman. After watching this video and reflecting I think I'd actually become a bit boring in my recall commands (partly because my dog had become so good and reliable with his recall) and made the whole thing rather predictable i.e "come" suddently meant that something had gone wrong or there was potential danger (i.e potential excitement and adventure to my dog) and "in" meant that the walk was over or we were going somewhere less exciting.
I've done a walk this evening and have done a bit of an experiment to test my above reflections - in terms of the test I have begun using my 'recall' commands when there isn't any issue or event that means I need the dog to come back.
I was quite blown away by how apparent it was that my dog did indeed read "come" as meaning something was happening - I noticed him looking around and checking before coming back, even on one occasion poking his head around the corner of some bushes to see what I might have seen that had led to him coming back - I also decided to bin the "in" command for the walk, instead using "come" and offering the lead ("in" came about because when offered the lead, he will come running and put his head through it...) which has the same effect. This also removed the issue of him knowing "in" meant the walk was over and having a (perceived as teenage) strop of running around before doing as asked.
Thanks for the help!
Waffle has become such a gentleman. So much calmer. Thanks for the advice about calling often and not just when they are getting into something. Great video again! Thank you!
Very helpful video 👍
Charlie's training advice, and way of communicating that advice, has allowed my near 2-year-old cocker to develop so much. We've gone from relying on a long lead to keep him close to him actively staying close, sitting when whistle is blown and remaining sat until we've told him to move, and hunting right and left in long grass. Well worth following all videos no matter what breed. Invaluable info.
Another refresher to stick to the instructions and make sure each exercise is concluded. This is great, need reminded of all this again and again!
Absolutely fantastic tutorial there Charlie, thank you. I will certainly instilling this into my dogs routine when I eventually get my own. All this is amazingly educational and so easy to follow. 👍
Helpful video, very practical advice. Thanks! 😃
Hey Mr Mordor, & Waffle?/Wawfull? I was very pleased to see you come up on my feed again. Great video. Top Notch.I've seen a few of yours but not for ages. Great to see you with & teaching your son.
I met someone recently, (within last 18 months) who had a Yellow Lab (Fox Red) I thought it was one of yours just watching her move. I asked the woman if she was from your kennel, & now I can't remember if she said,
"Yes, n my God he'd (you) be embarrassed if he seen her"
or....,
"No my God, couldn't have afforded one from him."
I lean to the former because they waited 2 years for her, & despite the lack of forethought (full time work, 2 small kids) & training on their part, their dog was amazing. She was programmed to work, & loved, & happily working the job she n her head.
I'm so glad I found your channel again, I've a working cocker spaniel myself. She firstly belonged to a good friend of mine. I've known her all her life. She lives her now, came to us full time a few weeks after her 7th birthday, She'll turn 11 this September. I'm off to watch more of your videos.
Great educational video Charlie, with some really good tips.
Perfect sense SER 👌. Your aproch to training dogs is spot on it brushes Mt way of training up not much difference between us only you have made the best of it wish I had the foresight and opertunaty . God bless you and my Your welth of experience grow

Great video, thank you for sharing 😊
I love these videos and waffle
Great video as always thanks .Just wondering how you deal with the ticks up on your part of the country ? Any advice would be appreciated thank you.
excellent.Will be using this with my Bagel.Exactly all the things I m doing wrong.
Great video Charlie,
Waffles coming on nice , and a steady dog.
My cocker dog is 14 months old now and trainings going well, but he is a twin turbo type, head strong cocker.
He does as he's told but everything's flat out !
I'm trying to keep his training as slow and calm as possible, will he calm down with age ??
bless ya
This is a very confidence inspiring video.
My walks with my sprocker consist of a lot of what you've talked about. I refer to it as casual training. Still not where we want to be but working through it all.
The issue I'm currently having is overstimulation in woodland where my sprocker will then become "Deaf" and try and do her own thing. So, we are working more and more in woodland.
Please share a video with your thoughts on a dog becoming overstimulated in specific environments.
👍
Yes please. Mine gets overstimulated in class environments. They have no advice for this so what’s your advice please?
Do you get many ear infections with cocker spaniels? If so how do you treat or what are your preventive measures?
I have a WCS same age as waffle he’s great but tends to want to put every bit of chopped grass / piece of litter in his mouth does anyone have any tips?
Waffle is a nice chilled pup isn't he, my 11 month old is a hyperactive nightmare compared to him.
Everyone wants as many FTCH IN THEIR DOGS PEDIGREE. The truth is you’re only capable of driving a morris minor so how can you cope with a Ferrari. It’s as simple as that. All Charlie is explaining is common sense pure and simple. The difference is he’s bloody good at what he does.
@donaldtriumph1682 what are you on about? I just pointed out he's a nice chilled pup for a cocker, you get chilled and scatty and mine is a scatty loony. He still retrieves to the gun, stops on the whistle etc he's just crazy.
😂😂😂@@donaldtriumph1682
@@mrwright5699 i get wot u mean ive 2 cockers 1s as u explained an the other is as carm as a cucumber 😂
@clairevp1980 mine was lovely and calm as a little pup when I picked him and he would just follow me round and sleep next to me but that changed as he grew.
Great advice Charlie 👍 well done 👏
What can you suggest to recall a male dog when he's got the smell of a bitch in heat and takes off ?
