Being a gundog owner, I have 3 at the moment, I have always trained mine from day 1 on a s[ip lead yet we have 3 people who have dogs up my road letting their dogs pull the owners all over the place and out of control I have said to them to use a slip lead and I would help them but no they would not so I watch them being pulled up and down the road. Thank you for all the videos, can you do one on distances stop whistle please this is what I struggle with.
I may be one of the people you talk about. I have a 3yo Springer who is very good walking on/ off the lead. I also have a 6 month old Springer who I’m finding very hard to get walking on the lead. I have got professional advice and there is still no improvement. It’s got the stage where I’m seriously considering giving him up as it’s getting me so down.
I bought a slip lead in a local pet shop a few days ago. The shop owner asked, "why are you buying a slip lead ?" My reply - My puppy goes to gundog training. We use slip leads on gundogs because they don't wear collars when working." I'm sure he thought I was jumping on the bandwagon where certain online "dog trainers" use slip leads as a tool to correct poorly trained/poorly handled pet dogs 😆 No. She started going to gundog training from 4 months old and I trained the basics on a flat collar + clip lead. She will be 9 months old in a couple of days and has so much natural ability. Not a pure bred or pedigree gundog breed, but a 3/4 Gordon Setter, 1/4 GWP who came from an accidental litter. Her parents are just pets, but grandparents and beyond are working gundogs. My puppy has inherited her natural ability from hundreds of years of working Gordon (British and Eurpoean) and working GWP ancestry.
This man speaks sense. How refreshing!
Thank you!

Slip leads are always our tool of choice! What Gundogs do you have?
We shall add it to our list - thanks for watching.

If they sell them, you'd think they would know what they are used for.
Yet another pointless dog heeling video with a perfectly already trained dog

@@KugaeGundogs great. Thank you. You should mention that video in this one to help people. This one really shows very little of use.
@@murphyebass7837 Just do a bit of research before stating that a video is useless.
