I've a springer 2 months or so younger than Enzo and I've been really enjoying following his progress along. Seeing a similar aged pup out in the real world (And not just a hand selected perfect few minutes!) has really helped keep my expectations in check which means lower pressure and better training sessions when we go out. Keep up the regular updates, they really do help viewers! and if you've got any tips for dealing with the transition into adolescence it'd be great to see a video on - Especially for things like keeping his focus and avoiding those times when he becomes hard of hearing because he's found a scent or seen something that looks too exciting to ignore!

Great to watch - I hope you're feeling better very soon - nasty cough going around here also. The new spaniel puppy here, who is named Thistle, is doing very well. 12 weeks old now and working on placeboards (2 at this point) and doing well. She pays attention very well and has had nice runs through the long grass in the fields with the older dog (Sonsie). Thanks for your videos - learning a lot from them and enjoy them all. Best Wishes from Nova Scotia, Canada

This video is a month old as I watch it and I hope that Cooper is feeling better - but it hit close to home. As I wrote in previous video and comments with you, we have the wee Cocker pup coming next week . A main reason for bringing home the new pup now, was that our oldest girl is now going on 13 and had slowed noticably - same as your Cooper. Today after 8 weeks of this "slowing down" we had results from the vet, who has been testing her extensively - she has cancer. Her treatment will be palative at this time and we've been told this cancer can bee very fast, so we should be prepared - possibly only 1 to 2 months left with our girl. She has always given her all - winning two High in Trials in one season and numerous other awards and always a joy to live with and train with. Very best wishes for you and Cooper - I hope you have lots of time left together and thank you for your videos.

Very intersting to watch his reactions and progression. We have just received the Ian Openshaw video and will be using the place board in training the new Cocker pup - she will be arriving in 9 days. Truly appreciate your videos and advice - any special tips or videos for the first few weeks with a new pup? She will be 8 1/2 weeks when she arrives. Thank you :)

I have a playlist in the channel menu just for Enzo. I was going to say if you are watching Ian Openshaw you don’t need advice from me 😂 buuut, I picked little bits of advice from different sources, an open mind to it all, you have to have the ability to adapt, every dog is different. The bonding, but without pandering, is a must from minute one. Everything is fun, use your voice tone as your number one training tool. Silly voice when you’re playing etc and gruff when it’s not doing as you want. I always start ‘sit stay’ right away, feeding time etc . But maybe Ian Openshaw would say different. Don’t overthink anything and put yourself in the puppies head.
@lauralbriar Ай бұрын
@@northlawgundogs5254 Your advice is good right from the start in that I've always found the key to any training is to adapt to the dog in front of you, and sharing training methods is another important idea to me.

Excellent video - very useful as we are training this now, however, not with our spaniel who will arrive next month, but with an 18 month old Border Terrier! Sounds crazy I know to teach this to a working Border Terrier, but good practice for the Spaniel and good control of the dog which is ideal in any situation. Thank you for your videos.

@northlawgundogs5254 3 ай бұрын
@@scotty-sb1403 yeah, I just start right away with sit, it’s all part of building manners particularly ‘door’ manners, 4 dogs crashing through a door before me or before I say it’s ok is a no no. Make them sit when you’re putting food down etc. A wee gentle push on their tail end “sit” and stay. If you are going to use a whistle it’s a wee ‘pip’ which in time leads on to a ‘stop whistle’. It’s not rocket science, don’t over think anything. A dog ain’t complicated, simple commands but don’t give them an inch. Retrieve drills in a convined space like a hall in the house, fun based, lots of stupid voices etc. Only 9 weeks, don’t get frustrated with it, 10 minutes max a couple of times a day, build the bond at this age, it’ll pay off for the rest of your time together 😉

Pretty much the same, if I didn’t/ don’t manage the middle walk I’ll take him out in the garden for 10 minutes to do a wee drill or two. Mental stimulation for a spaniel is as good for them as exercise.

@@Michael-j7n9m entirely depends on the situation and who it is. If we are on a path or pavement mine are at heel and will largely be told to ignore another dog and walk on.

There is the odd person or dog that I know is freaked out at the pack walking towards them so I act accordingly.
