Training the Working Spaniel makes it simple for anyone to train
their working springer or cocker spaniel, whether beginner or more
experienced owner. This book starts from early obedience training
all the way to competing in working tests and field trials. Those
with more experience will appreciate the detailed advice on
advanced work in the field, rough shooting, picking-up, and
training as a peg dog. While first-timers will find plenty of help
on how to keep a working dog in a family home, as well as
introducing their spaniel to a variety of shooting situations.
Reflecting the huge popularity of the cockers, the author gives
plenty of advice aimed specifically at cockers as well as
springers. There is also information on the lesser-known spaniel
breeds including Irish Water spaniels, Clumbers, Field spaniels,
Sussex spaniels, Welsh springers and Brittany Spaniels With unique
access to the most successful spaniel trainers, the author brings
exclusive tips from the top that can be used by any beginner. The
book contains information on modern training in urban environments
as well as insights into elite spaniel work and gives guidance on
breeding your own spaniels.
With many readers coming to cockers for the first time, this book
offers complete guidance for their very earliest care and training
at home, and then introduces both cockers and their owners to a
range of different activities and competitions. Drawing on more
than a quarter of a century's experience with cockers, the author
takes you on a wonderful journey from the moment your puppy arrives
home to the day that you start enjoying sports and activities
together. The Cocker Spaniel covers every aspect of cockers, from
the history of the breed to healthcare and problem-solving guides.
There is also valuable information on contacting the wider cocker
community and on joining groups and clubs. Many cocker owners also
want to work their dog as a gundog in country sports, including
field trials and working tests. With The Cocker Spaniel, the
transition from family dog at home to elite performance dog in the
field is seamless and straightforward to achieve. There is
invaluable technical instruction on how to work your cocker in the
field, as the author has achieved successfully, with five Field
Trial Champions to her name.
