Stimulate your dog mentally and physically

Gundog training is only one part of training a dog. I quantify it as the advanced level three of training. Level one is building your bond, not bribing or buying it with food. Level two is basic commands such as sit, wait, recall and focus. Once you’ve mastered the first two levels then it’s time to focus on level three. For some people gundog training isn’t about working your dog in the shooting field, it’s more about giving your dog a purpose in life. Stimulate your dog mentally and physically and it will also help with behavioural problems you may be experiencing, especially dominance. The respect you gain through training is immense.

Bailey pictured here is destined to live in Dubai soon with his owners. Realising he needed to be well behaved they decided to look at gundog training. Initially we needed to correct his dominance and aggressive resource guarding trait. Over his lessons his behaviour has changed, he’s more respectful and by implementing retrieving he’s stopped being aggressive and possessive.
