A really nice understandable and well presented vid, I've never done whistle training but its something i really want to try.

[@MordorGundogs22]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it, all the best with your training

[@theshrew69]

@@MordorGundogs22 Thank you. I know you can get different presumably pitched whistles, would the same whistle work for a Cocker and Springer ?

[@davidmingee4286]

Thanks I enjoy watching your training tips ..

[@missbabybiker]

Thank you for another very good, informative video Charlie. Wish I lived closer as I really do like the way you train. I've just started introducing the sit whistle to my now 6 month old Setter x GWP puppy in the house (feeding times). She picked up the recall whistle straight away and as much as she thrives on learning, I have to stop myself from doing too much too soon (she's my first (working bred) gundog puppy). She has such natural working instincts it's almost as if she knew how to "gundog" at conception 😊

[@missbabybiker]

Just to add, she has already shown she has the natural ability to quarter, point and slowly stalk before freezing into a crouch almost to the ground. She loves to retrieve and has so far, recalled immediately from 2 - 300 yards (to my friend's 210.5 when she blew the recall for her dog in out local park). She appears to have inherited the best of both her Gordon Setter and GWP parents/grandparents/great grandparents etc. Such a lucky find from an accidental litter 😊

Thank you Charlie - they really well presented and helping us tremendously with our cocker spaniel - our third dog doing things your way this time and he seems a lot better

[@ELLISRUGER8]

Great video, creates a mindset, just the right video for me at the right time, thanks!

[@MordorGundogs22]

That’s great to hear, Thank You!

[@TooBarFoo]

This is really good and so clear. Great clarity over body language that I will share with family that gets a point over better than I have been able too.

[@teresarich1945]

Thank you so much for your excellent videos! I will be in touch

[@margaretdenning2234]

Hi Charlie, I’m finding your videos really clear and sensible. (Also very human) Thank you. I have a 6 month old chocolate lab. 1. Could you do a video on a Labrador about that age and what we should be able to expect from them! 2. I see that you don’t seem to use food rewards in your videos. Do you never use them? Many thanks

[@lizziedripping71]

Most labs will do anything for food so easily trained (had lots of labs) but better NOT to use food if you can. Focus on hand signals, whistle & lots of praise 👍

[@keithhaynes8079]

I like your videos but I have a 9 month old Labrador which is proving a job to train and I have 5 labs before can you do some videos with labs please thank you.

[@emilyforde5117]

Good to see how it builds up, lots more running and corrections for me to do I think.🙂🐶

[@norwaylife6918]

I really appreciate your approach to dog training, gets me excited to try your tips when training my dog.

[@MordorGundogs22]

Thats great to hear! Thank You

[@annamcgrath7834]

Really enjoying these videos - thank you. It is so good to see the stages and processes of teaching the dog - almost all of the other trainers on here just show the finished product and how brilliant their dogs are. That is no help to those of us trying to teach our dogs as invariably there are many moments when it doesn't go exactly to plan! Please keep showing how you do corrections when they are needed.

[@tumblyhomecarolinep7121]

Super helpful thank you. My last springer really did go deaf, not pretend deaf. We had some problems but you are right that body language guidance from us helped a whole lot.

[@theshrew69]

I've recently lost a Cocker, in her latter years she became deaf. I'm trying to incorporate this with my Springer and it really does work. Adding the whistle in will start over the next few weeks after she recovers from being spayed.

[@Winstoncat1]

Nice, clear instruction. ❤

[@darrenthorne7413]

Thanks Charlie another really good video. I've only just come across your videos and i wish i had found them sooner. I have a 3 year old working springer that is starting to get a bit cocky and ignoring me, so back to basics, and i will certainly be using your tips.

[@georgewilliams2121]

Really enjoying these videos, currently training my new pup and the details in your videos are invaluable. Keep up the good work, really appreciate you posting these videos.

[@MordorGundogs22]

Thank you George!

[@R1382lm]

Love these videos, incredibly helpful - thanks Charlie!

[@MordorGundogs22]

Thank you!

[@nickimorley536]

Another good one Charlie!

[@MordorGundogs22]

Thank You!

[@vivdawson5953]

Well done …. Shall watch progress with interest …. Learn loads from you🤗

[@beevie4081]

I'm starting to really like these cocker spaniels thanks to this channel. Most people select large dogs for hunting where I live, so I've never seen these cockers actually at work before. They seem delightful. I currently have a little duck tolling retriever, and might have to consider a little upland bird dog to complete the hunting pack!

[@bridgetfingleton-brown9732]

Thank you for these great videos. I would love more whistle training videos. Although I don’t have gun dogs, I do have a very keen to learn young Dalmation.

[@stuartduke999]

I have trained a few gundog. This is a really clear and helpful video. Thank you and subbed!🙂👍🏆

[@MordorGundogs22]

Thank You!

[@oldgaffers]

Brilliant set of video`s , I haven`t a dog but have my daughters pet Viz about twice a week and learning so much and putting into practice . Thank you :)

[@MordorGundogs22]

Thank You! Im glad your finding the videos useful & great to hear your putting the lessons into practice

[@oldgaffers]

Enjoy taking her out on the moors but worse fear is coming across sheep that I didn`t see as she has a very strong hunting instinct and always unsure if I`d be able to command her to stop @@MordorGundogs22

[@wendywilliams9893]

Great info

[@johnrichards9939]

Absolutely superb vids thank you

[@MordorGundogs22]

Thank you John! Much appreciated, glad you enjoyed it

[@louisemoore3728]

Learning so much from your videos, thank you so much for all your content.

[@MordorGundogs22]

Thank You Louise!

[@susanread5537]

Love this video! Really helpful 😊👍🏻

[@MordorGundogs22]

Thank You!

[@philippathorpe6668]

Really useful video, that's this mornings training session sorted thanks. Glad I've found your channel it's been very helpful with my young Springer, I will look at your website as would love to get some training help from your team with training my first gundog. Very concise and clear instructions thanks.

[@MordorGundogs22]

Thank you! Glad to hear it

[@rosssshed2336]

Great videos. Thanks Charlie. Would you mind stating the different dogs ages/experience so we know roughly where they are in their development?

[@clivenorman9767]

Another great video Charlie, been looking forward to this one, having a bit of trouble teaching stop whistle to my 16 month lab, now have more idea of the different stages of training ,thanks 👍

[@MordorGundogs22]

Thank You! Glad you’ve found it useful

[@pabloburlinksi18]

Great video, thanks very much Charlie. QQ, why is not calling a dog from a sit one of your golden rules? I do this during obedience training all the time, it would be great to know your thoughts

[@wendydarlingwendy8202]

Have you got a video on teaching the spaniel to heel. I train in the yard and she is good, however when we go out to the woods she forgets. She is 22 weeks now.

[@nicolasmith1460]

All brilliant. Can we have more springers in your videos They’re challenging in a different way and I’m struggling with a 5 month old

[@profitfever]

Really enjoying your videos. Im bringing up a working golden retriever puppy who could potentially be high energy. I've really enjoyed your common sense approach to dog training. So far all ive implemented from it is the running from your dog and making training into a game where possible. Im struggling with the moral dilemma of using a slip leash, the internet seems downright against it and believe its outdated and favor positive reinforcement type training. Would love to know your thoughts on this? Basically at the moment i have to practically bribe my dog to do every action unless theres something she really wants, like attention, or to be let out her crate, her food bowl.

[@francesdupuy5546]

Great, thanks. Think I might have been deafening my dog ... quiet works well 🙂

[@JBishman]

Great video. Thanks. I am missing the bit where you link up the existing 'Sit' command to the whistle? Do you whistle and verbal command and hand gesture all at the same time to start!?

[@ehamster]

How old is Roe? My springer is just 6 months, haven’t done any whistle training yet, wondering when to start, thinking now. Still working on heel on the lead, he’s getting better but still a bit keen to walk ahead if I go slow. At least only light lead pressure now required to get him back. Trying to build more interest in looking to me rather than the copse full of interesting wildlife. I think a video that explains all the basic commands and their associated whistles, with some expectations of when we should start training those behaviours would help. You can then link to the other videos that cover each of those behaviours and perhaps spot where gaps in your library need filling. Great videos, you’re where I go for this stuff.

[@PJTeal1]

Yes I agree, it would be nice to see number of whistle peeps etc you use for which commands

[@lukenoakes3118]

Great video once again. Just a question… What’s the reason for your golden rule of not calling them to you normally?

[@tumblyhomecarolinep7121]

How soon do you introduce the whistle in a pups life please?

[@arf76]

Can we have a video of Waffle outtakes please? 🙂He's adorable!

[@MordorGundogs22]

👍 Absolutely!
