Clients Testimonial and Experience of their First Day Shooting, Beating and Picking up with his Springer Spaniel.

Below is a quote from my client in Lincolnshire on his 1st day out on a shoot working Hazel his Springer Spaniel.

I’ve had Hazel out today on our 1st day of the pheasant season… The land wasn’t what were used to as during her 1st season we shot in a wooded area as I knew she was a bit ‘hot’ headed and both of us needed to learn.

Today was always going to be a challenge as this open arable farm land over 1800 acres.

Pleased, I’m chuffed to bits, only twice did I have to raise my whistle tone from a gentle tone, she retrieved a few birds, she put an awful lot up and didn’t run in once. Several of the beaters & guns asked how I stopped a spaniel running in and we were commended on the steadiness & standard of work.

There’s a little to work on for next week but it’s all about reinforcing what we’ve learnt & having some fun at the same time.

Damian, my joy is down to your patience with the pair of us and how you’ve advised me to train her, I would have gotten rid of her if I hadn’t of found your training style, thanks buddy!
