This is the best / easiest to follow, stop video on TH-cam. I actually prefer it when you don’t dub over the videos now. It’s so much more engaging to watch and keeps me wanting more. Well done Chris, brilliant once again! Merry Christmas to you all 🎄
Great demonstration and explanation. I realise that I use my body as you demonstrated us amateurs use, so going to follow your advise and practice this.
I am curious if you think your video’s apply to dogs other than spaniels? I have a lab and often find your video’s very helpful. Especially basics like sit/stop, direction and retrieve.
@@remowb most puppies are weaned at about 5 to 6 weeks old personally once I have completely pulled my mother away from the pups I then don't reengage them so that it allows the mother to stop lactating. But puppies shouldn't be sold to their new homes until after eight weeks
@@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314 Quite a few years ago, when I was training my labs, I read a book by Roger Wolters (Water Dog) and he was adamant about taking the pup at 49 days and cited scientific literature to back up his claim. However, that was nearly 35 years ago and I was wondering if that had changed from that time. I'm planning on getting another lab in the near future and training him as if he will be my hunting partner, even though my best duck hunting days are behind me! Thank you!
@@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314 The reason I ask is that about 35 years ago I owned and trained a lab. One of the books on training retrievers was Roger Wolters "Water Dog". Wolters was adamant that the ideal time to take a pup from its mother and littermates was on the 49th day and he backed up his claim with some scientific literature. Since it has been 35 years since I read his book I was curious to know if that still held up today. Thank you.
You're very nice to reply, thank you. Whne is it too late to train? I have a splendid Springer, sire of US Nat. Field Trial Champion, but she's 2 years now and I haven't had as much time as needed. Is it too late to train? I used to...15 mins a day 5 days a week, but very little for the past 6 months -- by the way your videos are superb.. @@hampshirespanieltrainingwi9314
All my training is a natural development and flow so it really depends on the parts of training before that if the dog is learning super quick you can work through the stages quite quickly. My basic sit work is normally done around 14 to 16 weeks onwards

Hope it's helped .. sorry getting sound right is not always easy 🎤🎤
It sounds fine and it’s real 👍👏

Great hope it has helped even just slightly 🐾
Thankyou for this I realise I use a hand signal along with the stop whistle.👏👏
Brilliant progression
As always Chris...👍👍

Yes the retrieving elements are all pretty much the same. The only difference with labradors is that you're working at a much bigger range.
Would these steps apply to a cocker spaniel?
I'm a new subscriber and thank you for the videos. In your opinion, what is the optimum age to take a pup from its mother and littermates?

Can this work with a 3 year old Springer or is it too late?
Do you sell trained springers for hunting,
Sadly there is no money in doing that so no
Do you ever employ a place board in your training? If yes, where and how?
No, it's not something I use as I use my training lead method which works really well for me
Billy has grown since his last appearance.
Bigger everyday 🐾☺️
How many weeks/months of daily training did it take to get the dog so well performaing?
Iv had him about just over 4months now and I do about 10 mins a day of training 6 days a week 🐾

What age do you start this sit training and do you use an electric color? Thanks
