I just thought I would do a post to test the water on whether anyone would be interested in attending some training weekends?

I am very much in the early stages of planning these at the moment. They do not have to be over a weekend and it probably suits me more if they are not, as I am often competing etc. at the weekend. I, also think one of the most important elements to get the most out of the two days is to ensure that the dogs have matching standards and abilities and not at completely opposite ends of the "training scale".

My thoughts at the moment are that I will take the beginner dogs myself, but anyone who is of a Novice standard and above I will use outside trainers.

I have trained both Weimaraners and Labradors to competition standard in obedience, working trials and gundog working tests. Taught basic pet obedience at Marlow Dog Traing Club and worked as Puppy Socialising Co-Ordinator at Hearing Dogs for the Deaf and took all the training classes for the dogs being socialised prior to their sound work training.

There is a write up and photos of the weekend I did this year for Neil and Sam on my website if you want to have a look.

Would anyone be interested? By pm if you wish .

Jill I would have been and jumped in feet first if Hershey was a puppy but at 10 I think he is far too set in his ways to do anything more strenuous then licking Jakes face :roll:

I would be very interested. Please let me know more when you have details.

A weekend would suit us better though, if possible.

 

[_Laura_]

I would Jill - if u'd happily take a beginner and a lab x ?

 

[Rivermeadow-KMH]

Sounds great!

Maybe tricky for me to fit in before shoot season though, diary is quite full - when were you thinking of having it? If it's another Spring one like the one on your website then yes, I would be very keen indeed!

I will watch this space!

[Ettinsmoor]

Sorry yes I should have said . I will start them next year as I have Picking Up, Field Trials (hopefully) etc. etc.

 

[Rivermeadow-KMH]

Oooh, well then please keep me on the "more info" pile as and when!

Exciting!

Puppy training

Pardon my ignorance but do you accept puppys and where do you do the training, I am very interrested.
Cheers
Ian
P.S. What is your web address?

 

[Ettinsmoor]

Ian if you click on the www button on the bottom of the thread it will go into my website.

Not a silly question at all. I will pm you.

 

[sarahjane16]

I might be interested as well Jill, although weekends would suit me much better due to work commitments

 

[_Jac_]

I would be very interested Jill, if you don't mind a funny looking long haired labrador along, no problem if you want to keep it all labs

Hi

Would it be suitable for complete beginners ie no experience whatsoever, who would be interested in learning the basics and have fun with their dogs but not necessarily to take it any further ?

Would it just be for labs only ?

Many thanks

Chloe

 

[Ettinsmoor]

No Jac and Chloe it wouldn't just be labs other breeds are welcome too .

Yes Chloe it would definitely be for complete beginners, although that 2 days would be for all complete beginner dogs.

 

[_Melanie_]

Please add me to your info list. What month next year to you think it might be held? I would love to attend this with my two.

 

[Em_n_Bailey]

Oh how exciting, I would be very interested too

I am also a complete beginner but both me and Bailey are eager to learn

It, of course, depends on me arranging childcare (although luckily both my parents have just retired :wink: ) & accomodation, I love an adventure

Please keep me informed too

Training

Well if I lived near to you I would jump at the chance, unfortunatley too far away . Doesn't seem to be much in the North West in that line unless I have missed it. Good luck

 

[Ettinsmoor]

Well the idea is that I will source dog friendly bed & breakfast or camping sites locally, as some may be coming from Scotland :lol: :lol: .

 

[Tractorgirl]

Jill - can I go on your possibles/info list please - my plans are for dog number 2 rather than my current minx - so I may be on your 2011 list!!!

 

[Ettinsmoor]

Goodness Susan you are planning a long way in advance. I may have exhausted myself by 2011 :wink: .
