Gundog training courses

Love love loved the training

Love love loved the training. The way it is delivered, the content, everything. Couldn't recommend this enough.
Matt Hanley

The training was excellent

We've just completed the adult course with our dog Rosie. The training was excellent - very well thought out (particularly useful was learning how to get Rosie to settle in the pub :-)) - and a good structure with it being restricted to 6 dogs. This meant we got through a lot and received individual and personalised attention from Georgia. The training is positive and reward based - the dogs are never forced to do anything they don't want to. We particularly enjoyed games week with weaving, tunnels and so on. Georgia is a warm, engaging and enthusiastic trainer - I'd highly recommend her classes.
