Dave,
I thought I would take a moment and send you an updated of my accomplishments obtained with Tucker. I must admit I never would have thought this was possible when I started my adventure to train my first gundog.
Having the opportunity to spend time with you in your training group. Gaining the insight knowledge of your many years of training and conditioning spaniels. Has help me to fill in the grey areas that are not covered in the training books.
The knowledge I gained of how one training technique is introduced. Will influence its effect to other aspects of his natural ability, performance and advance training is priceless.
Additionally all the “need to train situations” in preparing Tucker to compete has proven to make Tucker a consistent competitor in the spaniel field games.
I must admit I would never imagine Tucker would handle the AKC Master Hunter testing requirements with such ease. I defiantly now can see his potential to run many more field trials in the very near future. I could not have reached these accomplishments without you dedication to helping us succeed. Finally I now understand how to read my spaniel while working him in the field!
Thanks again for all you guidance and knowledge you share with me about spaniel behavior and training!
