How Do You Get Inspiration to Train?
When I want inspiration for my training, I try to take part in courses that are led by different instructors, watch field trials and hunts.

Stop Whistle
To get the dog to stop when itโs busy doing what it enjoys the the most โ hunting โ can be very difficult, but it can be done! Here youโll find all our blog posts about how we clicker train our dogs to get very good โbrakesโ โ namely to stop at the stop whistle or the stop command. The stop whistle for spaniels means that the dog stops; standing, sitting or laying down. The spaniel doesnโt have to look at you, but if it does it facilitates directing it to find the retrieve. If it looks forward (where the game landed) it will be easier for it to retrieve the game since it then more easily will remember where it landed. The stop whistle for a retriever means that the dog should stop and look at you, standing or sitting (or laying down, but thatโs not very convenient because the dog wonโt see you as good then).
Good luck with your training!
