When you say basics, besides recall, what should I definitely not skip? Got a young spaniel who’s eager but I wanna make sure I’m doing it right.

I’ve had cockers in the past, brilliant dogs, but start with the basics. Recall’s gotta be solid before anything else. Forget about the fancy stuff till you got that down.

Do you think starting with basic scent games at home could help sharpen my spaniel’s natural instincts before I take him into the field? Not sure if I should start there or dive straight into more structured training outdoors.
