Thanks Karen, what you have put is very helpful as I think that will work with him (he loves treats), I have started using the clicker (but only in house). On our next walk what I am going to try, is when I see him having eye contact with a bird or I see one flying over head I will either call him back straight away or if close by get him to sit and reward him but also use the clicker as positive reinforcement as well, keep your fingers crossed for me, will let you know how I get on.
Cant believe how quick his breed grow!! Love the pictures of Maggie and Elsa how is Elsa doing with the puppy classes? I have started taking Oscar to Ring Craft Classes and he is doing really well, Holly my youngest daughter has been coming along with me and having a ago as she really wants to show him and it is so nice for her to have an interest in something as I eldest Daughter has a horse but Holly has never been interested in the horses so looks like its dog showing for her.
