Gundog Advanced builds on the skills developed through our previous Gundog courses and takes your training to a much higher level.
A key focus of this course is your dog learning to work successfully off lead around distractions, while maintaining their focus, steadiness and partnership with you.
Throughout the course we continue to develop and proof the skills your dog has already learnt, while also introducing new exercises and challenges.
We use a wide variety of exercises to test your dog's understanding and establish whether they can perform those skills reliably when the picture changes.
Across the course we work on:
Off-lead work around increasing levels of distraction
Advanced recall, steadiness and focus
Proofing previously learnt skills
More challenging retrieve exercises
Introducing new skills and exercises
Working in different environments
Using different areas and equipment around the farm
Developing your partnership and communication
Individual troubleshooting and problem solving
Testing whether your dog genuinely understands a skill rather than simply recognising a familiar exercise
The exercises are adapted to the dog in front of us.
We recognise that retrievers, spaniels and HPR - Hunt, Point, Retrieve - breeds have been developed for different jobs in the field, and at this level those differences are reflected more clearly in the exercises and challenges we set.
The course culminates in a final assessment in week six.
This is benchmarked against elements found within a number of working gundog tests, but has been specifically adapted to reflect the skills taught through ourGundog training programme.
It is not about turning your pet dog into a working gundog. The assessment gives you a meaningful standard to work towards and an opportunity to demonstrate just how far you and your dog have progressed.
This is a comprehensive advanced course for owners who have already put significant work into their Gundog training and want to challenge themselves and their dog further while continuing to build the partnership they have already developed.
We are looking to offer this class and are currently building a waiting list. If you are interested, please contact us so we can add you to the list and keep you informed when dates become available.
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.
