Gun Dogs

We specialise in classes for working breeds.

The atmosphere will be one of fun, enjoyment and informality, but the classes will have a disciplined structure covering all aspects of gun dog training. The objective will be to put each owner, regardless of the initial level of experience, into a position of knowing how to continue training the dog correctly in the future. How to avoid mistakes and how to encourage strengths.

Some of the subjects covered:

  • Basic training
  • Dummy work
  • Handling, direction and jumping
  • Introducing the dog to the gun
  • Steadiness, both on dummies and game
  • Reading your dog
  • Water work
  • Working the dog on a shooting day
  • Requirements for dogs running in tests and trials

Here are some of our champion dogs in action

We base our techniques on repetition, consistency and reward.

Classes are on a one to one basis, most of the time we can do days and times to suit individuals. Group classes can be arranged at a discounted rate.
