Hi All,
This is my first post on the site, but I have been reading through a lot of older posts which have been a great help.
I have a 7 month old GWP which I'm training as a dedicated deer dog. Training is coming on well and she seems to love the work. My question is, how long do you guys make your training trails? I understand that they do 1000m+ on the continent, but is this a realistic distance in the UK? I am up to 300 - 400m (4hrs old) at the moment which doesnt seem to be a problem. I'll probably increase the age of the trail before I increase distance, but would like an idea of your experiences.
Thanks
Mac
