Bird dog not doing what the book says , don't worry! Memory of Trekmoor.

Post by polmaise » Tue Dec 21, 2021 1:10 pm

This clip came up on my pc ,as a reminder..? Funny things this 'Tinternet' .
Our past away member 'Trekmoor' /'Bill'/ Wullie' and all manner of handles in real life often with a curse word ,was a frequent and often raider of my fridge over the years.
This day , with a young Vizsla on it's first outing with me and Bill' on hunting ground , rather than the streets it walks with it's owner, should I hope give comfort to all those with their first dog ...it ain't gonna be perfect on day one , and day one for most is today , no matter the age of handler or dog.
....
Now, this isn't the shoomacker way or the whoever way, it's just a young dog doing what it thinks is right for him. Start from there.
Merry Christmas.

If only we adult humans, behaved as well as we expect our dogs and children to!

Merry Christmas.

Never knew one teenager ,including my own, and me, that done exactly what we expected!
As a Teacher, I always expect them to do better than me , not the same , if I did, then what's the point, said Bill. lol
...Read the dog you have , not the readings of someone else's dog .
Now that's a skill not found in any book or text, said Bill .
Happy new year when it comes
