FUN GUN DOG TRAINING FOR ALL DOGS WHO ENJOY LEARNING, SEARCHING AND RETRIEVING
We invite all breeds of dog to come and join us in having fun and using their natural instincts to run and find things and retrieve. For those owners who wish to progress their dogs skills in working in a Gundog sport then these courses provide great foundations for steadiness, focus and partnership with their caregiver/owners.
I am often asked about the purpose of Gun Dog Training, because of its name Its origins lie with the Gundog breeds, however my training is suitable for all breeds who love being in the outdoors. The classes will be a mix of Retrievers, Spaniels, German Shepherds and Lurchers.
