Gundog Intermediate is the direct follow-on from our Gundog Basics course.
We continue to build on the skills you started in Basics while introducing new exercises that make the training more challenging, varied and enjoyable for both you and your dog.
Across the course we work on:
Building on your existing retrieve skills
Introducing different types of retrieves
Adding a new whistle cue for directional hunting
Developing greater steadiness
Improving focus and connection
Troubleshooting anything your dog is finding difficult
Building stronger loose-lead walking skills
Developing your recall further
Working around increasing levels of distraction
Working in closer proximity to the other dogs in the class
As your dog's skills develop, we gradually make the environment more challenging. Your dog learns to work with you while other dogs are closer and while there is more happening around them.
We also spend time troubleshooting the areas that may not be going quite as smoothly.
Gundog training is not about every dog performing in exactly the same way. We help you understand why your individual dog may find certain exercises easier or harder than others.
Throughout the course we continue to harness the natural instincts of your pet gundog in a way that is fun, constructive and relevant to everyday life.
We take into account the different gundog breed types and the different jobs they were originally bred to perform in the field. This allows us to adapt the training to the dog in front of us rather than expecting every gundog to learn and work in exactly the same way.
Gundog Intermediate is a fun, supportive next step for owners who want to continue developing their dog's skills, focus, steadiness and enjoyment of working together.
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.
