Training,, holidays, working tests, field trials, team events, guest training days - so much fun to have with our dogs
Whether you are interested in working tests, field trials, picking up, beating, peg dog or maybe you just want to have a trained gundog then we will go through the whole process of gundog training from whistle works, steadiness, hunting, retrieving, directions,, holding an area, developing memory, and working with shot.
Timing is one of the most important aspects to training a gundog along with confidence building
My methods are based on the handler explaining to the dog what he wishes, so plenty of repetition and praise. Its all about confidence . I use clicker, toys, treats basing the action you require to gain a reward.
I believe that dogs want to please us so why not tell them how happy you are with their performance
I think working tests are a great sport for both handler and dog and there are levels from novice dog/novice handler to open and as I have competed at all levels and judged many both in England and abroad I am able to help handlers understand how to approach and compete in tests. There are certain rules in working tests and it is important that a competitor knows the rules and why they apply before they take the step to compete.

CLICKER TRAINING
I am a great fan of the clicker as the dogs love it and being based on reward it is a positive way of training.
I mainly use it for Delivery, Stop whistle, Heelwork and Turning but you can teach your dog what you wish i.e shutting the door for you, rolling over - it is endless.....
Sessions for clicker can be at your home or in a public Cost is £35 per session
As there is so much to learn emphasis is on progress and continuous development of dogs and handlers.
You learn so much from watching people who are more experienced and ones that are more novice
ONE TO ONE TRAINING
I offer one to one training for all levels
Having a dog that you enjoy training and loves to be with you is so rewarding
The consolidation of time is so beneficial and is tailored to suit the dog and handler
£30 per session or home visit within 10 miles of wheathampstead £35
In a one to one session we can discuss your goals and what you wish to learn - we can go out with one of my dogs and train together if required in the sessions
There is so much to learn: Delivery Lining up Wind Stop Whistle Directions Hunting and much much more............
