Working cockers on the wildside with peter finch ,old film but a masterclass with cockers

[@DazC01]

Been following you for a while now, we've had our cocker for just over 5months, our first dog. We thought he was a really lucky pup, massive garden with plenty of bushes/hedgerow etc, woods across the way, fields etc for him to explore. After watching your videos we now realise this was a bad idea showing him that much world so soon. So we've now took a step back and we're back to basics in the back yard. He's still having fun but we're both learning so much everyday. 👍🏼

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

Hopfully that will help pick your fights as you can't train a dog as quickly as it can learn bad habits 🐶☺️

[@suzylogan3524]

Charlie is lovely.

[@kevinnewman5365]

Looking forward to this series, learn from a professional from day one. Thank you for taking the time to put this series together.

[@leestewart9558]

i enjoy training my own gundogs and have picked up lots of positive training tips from your videos. loving Charlie and looking forward to seeing his progress.

[@allanbell-moore4572]

Never grow tired of watching your vids chris. Loving Charlie - A new wee cocker coming your way soon. We go again ! i'll be in touch 👍

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

That's very kind Allen hope you're well

[@jonno6177]

Ive been binge watching your videos recently. Really glad to see this series. I have a 12 year old cocker and a 12 week old cocker. This series will be great to follow as I train Rolo.

[@mariabull1947]

Loved watching your training we are working on my sprocker bringing back the dummies to my hand always something new to learn 😊

[@morgandenison5981]

Just got a Cocker that’s 9 weeks old so few week behind you, can’t wait to follow you through the training on your vlog!!

[@PenroseTom]

Gorgeous Charlie! I’m hoping to learn a bit more about how it SHOULD be done right from a small pup and constantly expand my knowledge for our working cocker! Can’t wait to see Charlie progress.

[@dunkwilsable]

I am having a working cocker in two weeks, so enjoying watching you vids for help and training tips for when he is here, love your vids and how you interact with the dogs you train… thank you.

[@joannahillyard3006]

I have a golden 14 week cocker who I’m trying to train by watching your videos over and over. She’s doing really well with the very basics except the retrieval but we won’t give up. I’m sure one of your fur skin things would really encourage her. Can’t wait for the next video. By the way Charlie is an absolute sweetheart! ❤

[@user-kx6ve4or4p]

It’s so good to see Charlie’s ‘mistakes’ as well as his great behaviour. We have a 15 week cocker we’re hoping to train to become a beating dog and it feels so reassuring to see that we aren’t alone in the hiccups we’re seeing in her, as amateurs trainers. Also great tip about putting a bit of your scent on the retrieve 👍

[@michaeljones4920]

Amazing video! Ive got a puppy that 14 weeks next week and im so happy to se this video as im in the same situation as you with charlie! The videos show you how to do everything natural and comes over so clear a nice thank you! When the next video out cant wait😊

[@simonaveiksriene4291]

My little cocker absolute opposite, pulling and it’s hard to keep up. Will fallow your journey with Charley, hope it will help me with my 13 weeks old.

This is my favourite vid as its the one that got me into watching the channel and ultimately training with you

[@sharonC662]

What a great idea this is. I'm really looking forward to seeing your pups progress. Although my cocker is adult your videos will help us improve. Thanks

[@Benjibouknight]

i live in the US and it is hard to find good spaniel training videos. your videos especially the one on walking on lead have helped me with Gus my working cocker. im excited about this series!

We've just got an 8 week old cocker spaniel, already bites and chewing. These videos are helping, thank you.

Nice video Chris, I'll be following along for any tips or tricks with two home bred Cockers that are about 12 weeks now. I'm also going to pass this link on to some new puppy owners.

Following to help me & my 16week working cocker boy. Have watched a lot of your videos which are excellent His lead work is progressing well, little and often seems to work best Your Charlie is a little star ❤️

Small amounts at a time it always takes longer than people think ☺️

[@hilaryyates7675]

Hi Chris,really enjoy watching your posts. We've trained our young spaniel following your posts and they helped us avoid some mistakes we made with our first dog. Very happy to have recently been placed in our first working test. Will follow you and Charlie with great interest.

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

Fantastic well done 🏆

[@yeldarb4848]

Found your videos as im looking at picking up a cocker spaniel in the very near future and would be training him up for beating/picking up and generally good obedience…. Hopefully 🤞🏻

[@craigwrightson6474]

Great video as you can see how to deal with a situation when it’s not going perfectly. That’s perfect information and also reassurance that as a novice these training exercises aren’t always to script! Thank you

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

You always have to be adaptable to each dog, they will require a slightly different route to the end🐶

[@wendysprules5143]

This is brilliant Chris, I have a cocker pup of similar age and really looking forward to watching Charlie's progress and my own pups progress. My pup is the opposite to Charlie, she's extremely confident and bold, no fear at all. I'm having to watch her and how handle her carefully. I don't want to fudge it up, and I'm sure everyone else on here feels the same with their own pups / dogs. It's so important to try and do things right in the early puppy stages, and not always easy when life can be so busy.

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

As I go along, I am also going to try and talk about the different scenarios but it's impossible to cover everything. Obviously if you're struggling at any point send me a message on Facebook

[@johngilbert7016]

Brilliant Chris. Just in the process of getting a new cocker after my retriever died. Love the way your getting down and interacting with him. The pen you made for retrieving is a great idea too. Learnt so much already. Looking forward to seeing more. Thanks. John.

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

Great news

[@saralewis1553]

We found your videos this morning and spent all morning watching through them. You've helped us understand a lot about our 6 year old rescue working cocker, why she does what she does, and how we can enrich her and keep her mentally stimulated as well as physically. Looking forward to more of your vlogs. Charlie is gorgeous!

[@user-ox3bu8ku5r]

I have been watching your videos for a while now as I have been using your tips and techniques to help me train my Sprocker pup, she is super keen to retrieve and quite soft natured but eager to learn

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

Take your time if soft lots of praise

[@louisalexander501]

This is amazing thank you so much for your videos. You seem like such a lovely person and you're an absolute natural. We've put a deposit down today on our new pup, she will be 8 weeks old when we pick her up next Sunday. Thank you for your service and your dedication ❤

Really good advice with regards to the garden layout, never gave it a thought when I acquired my 8 week old, now 14 weeks. I have now barriered off a area, Cheers

Good to hear pick your battles 👍☺️

[@davidchase7166]

This will be a really interesting series to watch. As we're already a client we don't need a puppy pack as we already have one but hopefully the winners get good use out of them. We actually watched a lot of your videos multiple times (and still do now) as we didn't have any dog training experience before getting our Cocker.

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

Hope all is well David

[@passionforfishing1985]

we watched all your training videos and its helped us training our 15 week old springer. we first found you by seeing the video you made about picking the best pup from a litter and soon as we viewed some pups we picked the one we got. so far we have seen every video you made and its helped us so much. we have also placed some orders from you and our pup loves the fur dummy and the training lead works a treat. we was amazed when we contacted you about our pup bitting and you gave us free support. as i type this out pup is sitting next to me waiting to watch another video from you .

Hello chris, i have two pups similar age as your one, one out of ian openshaws lines and one from lee cooper, i know its going to be more difficult with two ,but it will be nice to see how they progress with yours, look forward to see your future videos.

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

Both Ian's and Lees lines are very similar to what I like they should be good dogs, and I wish you all the best

Hoping to learn the right way to go about training a young dog. Looking to expand my knowledge of the working cocker. Looking forward to progress as the months pass.

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

Hope I help even if it's just a little bit ☺️

[@h.svobodova8830]

Absolutely brilliant idea to follow puppy progress from start. I watched a lot of yours previous videos and learning every time even tho I am dog trainer myself, but in completely different sphere (sheepdogs). My grandad had Springers and I use to train some pointers in past but in our country it was done for little bit different purposes, lot or work on water. Now after years I got spaniel again (beating will be more fun with dog) and your videos are motivating me and guiding me to improve my crazy bitch and hopefully one day we will get somewhere. Recently we are starting with hunting which is quite challenging because she notice my every movement and so I definitely have to order your light dummies because I suppose they won't make any noise when thrown? I can definitely see the point why they are your favourite as I tried few other options and nothing really worked as good yet . Good luck with everything, wish you were bit closer to Borders for "live lesson"

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

Hope you enjoy

[@sarahcooper8518]

Have you chosen a winner yet? I’m really enjoying these videos. I’ve watched Ep1 twice so far and used the retrieval section with my 10wk old cocker yesterday. Hit and miss 😂 but with patience he got there! 🎉

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

Hi there Sarah , I hope the videos are useful. If you require any help just let me know. Regards Chris

[@SJNorway]

Awesome videos! I really hoped you would start a new series with a pup as I’m really looking forward to learning as much as I can before getting a pup myself closer to next summer. I have one question though, why do you get Charlie up on your chest when delivering the retrieve? Keep’em coming! Cheers from Norway!

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

I always get the pop up onto me facing me, as that is an easy position to get a dog into a set later on also build a strong close bond early on

Hi thanks the message that's more behaviourism and I'm not a behaviourist 😔

[@keithcrackett1992]

I don’t have spaniels I have setters and HPRs but the puppy retrieves training transfers easily. The only thing the pups are bigger and hit harder as they run into your face🤣🤣

Number one fan of Charlie. Does that tail ever stop wagging.

He is a good lad ☺️

[@Badzekowski]

Hi Chris, Your content is great for new owners. We have an 8-week-old cocker spaniel and your videos have already helped us to create a good routine for her. Regarding the training in this video, would it be suitable to start doing it with our 8-week-old, or should we wait 14 weeks like Charlie?

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

In the first 5 weeks focus on a good crate routine and establishing a good retrieve in a confined environment remember no toys if you want a good retrieve 👍👍

[@AN-pq5vm]

Planning on trialing him Chris? He's great

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

Possibly if he is good enough but I don't have a lot of spare time now but I always train with the chance of that being the case 👍☺️

[@ivanblack4387]

Hi, new spaniel owner here. Enjoy your straight forward approach to training. One question I have been asking myself is around the way you praise your dog. A lot of it seems to be around the mouth and nose area and in quite a calm fashion. Is there any particular reason for this? Thanks for sharing everything with us. Its really useful.

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

More so I can make good eye contact plus they enjoy it 🐶

[@h.svobodova8830]

It's because naturally dogs communicate with each other with mouth/nose contact, so therefore, especially puppies, like it and understand it better than praise/touching their head etc. 😊

[@tomballinger3510]

Handsome cocker 👌🏽

[@mithaiable]

I didn't know cocker spaniels are so different from other dogs. I mean each breed is different and each breed needs different methods. I have punished my ecs and it never works. You videos are very true. However my ecs is now 1.6 so i need some more info. He knows the wrong methods and so i am now reworking. Thank u for ur video

I’ve just picked up my first gun dog, she’s a 14 week old clumber spaniel. Is there anything I should be doing different with them being slightly less energetic than cockers. I plan on using your vids as a guide mine and Rosie’s journey together.

[@thenoworriesnomad]

Great video Chris, why does he want to "cow pat" so much at this stage? or is it because he's tired?

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

Hi there, so with most of my clients, I normally start lead work around 13 to 14 weeks old retrieving you can start from almost day one. Make sure your limit the space. Keep the retrieves quite short and only do two or three once or twice a day

Hi got a cocker just like Charlie about 3 months ago, he was trained for gun , but it didn't work out with gun for previous owner, so I took him , brilliant dog, but recall sometimes is not especially when he gets scent of something , what do I do to correct it

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

Normally the thing I look at with young Dogs is is the correctional work, keeping the dog close right first then I look at the things after that, but most of the people that have stop issues are normally doing things further down the chain incorrectly, so those things normally need looking at first before you can address the other issues a lot of the time, but it would really depend on the dog. I would have to see the Situation 1st to make the correct decision

[@hattyjones2666]

I notice that your pup isnt biting you when you play on the floor? Did you aleeady establish this boundary and if so can you share some tips please. We have. A 9 week old girl qnd she gets very bitey ig we get on the floor!

[@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314]

Most biting normally comes when you've had the dog out for too long and they are generally overstimulated. I do very short periods with my dogs out that way they never get bored of me which is also why I don't struggle to keep their attention.
