Going for a Bumble

In this 90-minute presentation, Helen Phillips and Jules Morgan explore "Going for a Bumble" - how to teach working and pet gundogs the difference between hunting and social pleasure. What does your gundog do on a walk? Do they stay relatively close while having a relaxing sniff? Or do they make a beeline to the horizon as soon as they are off lead, enjoy chasing wildlife and become too engrossed in hunting to hear you? There is a great deal of debate, conflict and confusion around the subject of whether to let your dog run free, off lead in the countryside, irrespective of whether it is a family pet or a full working gundog. This is why, in this 90-minute presentation, Helen Phillips and Jules Morgan will reveal the ultimate steps to help you teach your gundog the difference between ‘going for a walk’ and ‘going hunting’ in the same stimulating environment. The Going for a Bumble Presentation covers the following: Understanding the difference between hunting and bumbling How to create the bumble zone How to use rewards to maintain connection and partnership in challenging situations Teaching a check-in behaviour and how to progress this Teaching the catch-up game The art of “having a Kit-Kat” and learning to relax in a stimulating environment Creating an invisible piece of string between you and your dog using circuits Teaching your dog to change direction with you using the this-way game How to decide how far away your dog should be from you at any given point How to play hunting games to help keep your dog with you Progressing these games and bumbling in the real world How to use life rewards to maintain the connection and partnership in challenging situations.
