Hey guys
Just wondering if everyone could help us out.
we would like to know the answers to these following questions
1) Gundog/ Dog sports
2) age of dog
3) how often do you free walk your dog (how many time per week, per day and duration of time out
4) how often do you purely train your dog (how many times per week, per day and duration of time out with them
5) how many different locations do you take your dog to per week
There is no right or wrong answer to this but it really Will help the trainers out the more everyone participates with guidance and creating plans for you individually and in groups.
thank you as always everyone
1) Pet gundog 2). 9.5 months 3) Our daily walks out are around 45 mins & comprise of loose lead walking for about 10 mins (5mins there & 5 mins back) to fields near our house with the remainder of time being a mix of off lead / recall , some retrieves other bits we’ve learnt in class like turn whistle. If she doesn’t recall she goes back on a longline or lead for the remainder of the walk. If there are other dogs she gets recalled and goes on lead. She might get a short sniffy walk around the block in the evening or lunchtime too OR training in the garden. Either being about10-15 mins. 4) as per answer above. Training of some form is daily. Then Sunday group session. 5) We have around 5 different routes we can take. If we go somewhere new, the most she can hope for is to be walked on the longline (held) as it takes a good few times at the location to be confident enough to let her off fully. We only have about 3 areas for that.- We try and mix it up & a couple of the walks are near the school for picking up the kids. She also has to learn to sit nicely in the car whilst we wait down to come out.
