Beginners Gundog Classes are perfect for you if:

  • You’ve done some basic training already (e.g. the beginnings of recall, stay and heelwork but it doesn't have to be reliable).

  • You have a breed who has a desire to learn, work and retrieve (don't worry if they’re not delivering to hand or dropping yet).

  • You are struggling with recall and focus on walks and would like to work on whistles cues creating mentally stimulating walks.

  • You are struggling with retrieve or possessive issues, and would like to a) improve and b) learn how to vary exercises to make play more mentally stimulating.

We also offer progression classes for dogs who have already attended the beginners’ course.
