Gundog Training

This is the ideal holiday for those who have a working gundog breed and want to either give them the best start or achieve greater levels of skill. All dogs need to be able to walk to heel on and off the lead – have a strong desire to retrieve and have a good recall.

For the Novice dog and handler, this really informative holiday takes you through the basics of a good retrieve, whistle training and through to working your dog on a shoot or in competition. HPR's and Spaniel owners should not feel that this is not for them because it concentrates on retrieving; they will still gain by building the relationship between themselves and their dogs. The quartering, pointing and flushing can be done later.

We also offer Gun Dog Training for intermediate to advanced level for those who are already competing.

International handlers have embraced the new ideas and welcomed the opportunity of training on such varied ground with the inclusion of live game in some of the most beautiful parts of the country. We also incorporate training over water, fences, walls and terrain that will challenge even the most competent handlers and dogs.

Our training philosophy has worked wonders with dogs whom are considered 'rejects' from the traditional training methods with great success.

Scheduled Gun Dog training takes place at Novar, Scotland, Cwmyoy, Wales and York.

Private block bookings are considered – please contact us to discuss.
