Well the weather has not really eased up but managed to get out the last couple of days and have taken a couple of photographs of Weaver.

he is 15weeks Old now and he can sit,stay to command 9/10 times,sit and stay to whistle,sit and stay when I walk away,sit and stay when his pheasant toys are thrown and land by him,and come running back every time when called and or to return whistle.

still not really training it’s all in a play situation and 5/10 mins every time.

Also introduced him to water on Saturday in a flooded field were the water was 10” deep at most,he wasn’t sure at first but gradually he went out a bit further,paw depth first then knees,then chest and after walking for first 10mins after 20 he was running in and fetching small plastic bottle he found.

he is doing really well and I’ll continue with the games,have also introduced him to the lead which is and can be a problem as a lot of dogs really don’t like anything around there neck and tend to fight to pull it off and or bite it.

Weaver has taken to it straight away,I had to take and pick my truck for MOT last week and it’s about 1/2 walk along path next to the A38 and under underpasses,across roads and he was a absolute star and after pulling for a few minutes he just stopped and stayed by my side with no bother,unbelievable,so so far so good,I’ll start introducing him to the canvas dummies within the next couple of months so he gets used to the weight and feel,then fur and feather gradually.

well that’s about it really as any of you will know who have or have had working dogs as soon as you get the basics sorted you can start to move on to the proper training little by little.

Morning all hope everyone all good and work ok,loving these frosty days now rather then the rain.

Weaver coming on well and growing fast and learning very quickly,he had a hard day playing yesterday helping me on a job in his own way.

will be taking him out later for a walk in the woods again we’re there are lots of pheasants around so he’s getting used to hearing and seeing them and a little whistle trianing when one breaks cover or flies up.

Hi all just a little update on Weaver...he comes with me everyday to work,sometimes he has to stay in the truck as job to dangerous or to close to roads etc.

But today was fine as working for a regular client just cutting back overhanging branches,shrubs and conifer hedge.

Day went well and finished in plenty of time so made a couple of Scurry Dens using some of the Conifer branches.

So he could have a good search,I got his pheasant toy and just hid it in the dens and let him seek it out.

Made 2 dens and switched hiding his toy in each one,only did it for 20mins but he soon picked it up and loved going in the cover,all these little things just help with his progression into when the real trading starts,and to him it’s still a game and play time and nothing serious.(Here Are A Few Photographs Of”Weaver”

Thanks Dave,yes he is a smashing little dog,he got a big thorn in his paw today,he came hobbling to me and I could feel the end of it in his main pad,I tryd to pull it with my fingers but couldn’t get a good grip so used my teeth to pull it and he never battered an eyelid he just let me do it and then carried on playing,it’s still a bit sore and have checked to see if anymore but nothing.beuitiful day today cold but clear blue sky so he loved it.
