Took Olive out to practise hunting, which is something I don't really practise enough with her. To begin with I just release her from my side, I am trying to introduce the 'seek on' command for this. Then I walk from side to side into the wind and let her hunt out infront of me quite away. She is good at covering alot of distance, and isn't one of those dogs that stays by your side. I try and do the turn whistle as we go from side to side. If she comes up on a bird/rabbit she points which is great. She will hold it quite awhile, but sometimes will chase when the bird takes off which I NEED to get her out of. After awhile I do a stop whistle, which is sometimes a bit hit and miss when she is preoccupied hunting.
