Welcome to our beginner fun gundog class! This course is for anyone who would like to get a taste for what gundog training is all about. Whether you want to learn for fun or progress to work your pet dog, this is a great place to start.
This course is suitable for any breed/type of dog and any ability handler, not just gundogs. We have everything from terriers to Dobermans who love these classes just as much as the labs and spaniels!

All training is reward based and force free. We use food, toys, and games to build and maintain desire and motivation. All exercises are broken down into easily achievable steps to build confidence in both dog and handler.
Please note – there will be NO guns fired, and all retrieves are with dummies/toys.
