Our Gundog Training Basics course is an entry-level course for gundog breeds and gundog crosses over 12 months old.
Gundogs have been bred for generations to use their noses, notice movement, search, retrieve and work at a distance from us. Those abilities are wonderful, but without suitable outlets they can sometimes leave owners feeling that their dog has become rather self-employed!
This course helps you harness those natural instincts and turn them into skills that you and your dog can enjoy together.
We work on:
Placeboard training
Whistle recall
Whistle stop and stop-sit foundations
Retrieving
Different types of retrieve objects and dummies
Steadiness
Focus and connection
Working around distractions
Games that use your dog's natural abilities appropriately
Adapting exercises to the breed and the individual dog
This is gundog training. You do not need to shoot, work your dog in the field or have any previous gundog experience.
Different gundog breeds have been developed for different jobs, so we do not expect every dog to work in exactly the same way. We adapt exercises to the dog in front of us.
Classes are small, supportive and taught by an experienced, qualified team.
Having a behavioural difficulty does not automatically rule your dog out of joining us. However, some dogs may need individual preparation before they are comfortable and able to learn successfully within a class environment.
Every course has its own WhatsApp group, which you can opt in to join. This gives you access to your trainer and assistant between sessions for additional support.
You can use the group to ask questions, share any difficulties you are having with homework and let us know how you are getting on. We also use it to share useful video content and additional guidance to support your training at home.
