DRIVEN DAYS

People often ask for advice about working their GSP with a driven shoot, so this film gives a bit more info on how I think your dog should behave on a typical days picking up, that is if you want to be asked back! With good training preparation you can have a marvellous day out with your dog and do a lot for the reputation of the breed, but one badly trained dog can give the whole breed a bad name,  especially when, like the GSP, it is a fairly unusual sight on driven shoots.  So it's important to be honest with yourself about how well prepared your dog is.  Can it handle the pressure? Is it steady enough for the excitement of a day's shooting?   Good luck, prepare well and enjoy!
