I am looking forward to getting out on the heather next month. I live closer to moorland than any other habitat so have been having to drive to find spaces wide enough to train the dogs. Doing two trips in succession with one dog each time is just not possible. When August comes, and I can access closer ground this will change. I will be in a much better position to train on a one to one basis then. Howard Ok, thanks Des, this is useful advice. I am looking forward to getting out on the heather next month.

What you don't want, however, is a dog that gets so much backing practice that it starts to "run for the back" instead of actually hunting for the bird. That is why, if possible, training of juveniles is best done on a one to one basis.
