Gundog training testimonial for Ruby the working Springer Spaniel, Preston, Lancashire. · 7 May 2012

‘Damian has been a great find and I have to say I would have been lost without his invaluable advice. I contacted Damian around 5 months ago when Ruby was about 4 and a half months old as I was finding her a handful to control, especially with recall. We joined his novice dog training [...]

Gundog training Bumble the German Shorthaired Pointer and Lizzy the Springer Spaniel, Preston, Lancashire. · 3 May 2012

Bumble is a beautiful and lively Pointer puppy that I first met when she was just 10 weeks old.  Christine and Derek have previously had working dogs but decided that a Pointer was the new dog for them.  For the past few months I’ve been working closely with Bumble and no two sessions have been the [...]

Group Gundog Training Day. · 20 November 2011

It’s was another great day with new and existing clients ready to train their working dogs for the field.  The star of the Gundog Training Day was Derek with Jess his 7 month old Cocker Spaniel who, despite only having 3 lessons with me, marked every retrieve and never failed to deliver the dummies to [...]

Gundog Training with Maverick the working Springer Spaniel. · 16 October 2011

Maverick is a 14 week old working Springer Spaniel owned by Mike.  Although Mike has previously owned dogs it’s been a while since he’s had a pup around.  As a shooting man Mike understands the need for discipline when training to ensure a good working dog in the field, especially with a Springer Spaniel as they have a tendency to be [...]

Gundog training with Tess the Springer Spaniel. · 9 October 2011

Dan was referred to me by Sam one of my students at Myerscough College after Dan had mentioned about his desire to train his Springer Spaniel Tess. As a shooting man Dan regularly works and trains with his dogs but, by his own admittance, has become lax about the initial training he had put in place.  Whilst Dan [...]

Gundog Training Morning and Gundog Photography. · 2 October 2011

Despite the horribly damp and windy conditions it was a great turn out for the gundog training day.  First and foremost I’d like to thank my hosts Sandip, Shallini and Shaan the who allowed me to use their amazing grounds for the event, it was very generous of them and I’m glad they enjoyed training with [...]

Residential Training with Kala the Cocker Spaniel and Hunter the Springer Spaniel. · 22 August 2011

Barbara and Simon entrusted Kala and Hunter to me while they were away recently.  Hunter has been stopping short with retrieves of late and is a little too keen during training which leads to a lack of focus at times.  Barbara also feels that he is showing signs of aggression towards other dogs.  Kala, who [...]

Gundog Training with Ozzie the Springer Spaniel. · 9 August 2011

I originally met with Jim and his working Springer Spaniel back in June and since then I have received numerous telephone calls about how training is progressing.  While it is important to keep the lines of communication between myself and my clients open it can be nighon impossible for me to advise or interpret certain [...]

Dog Obedience Training with Barney the Springer Spaniel. · 28 July 2011

Barney is a 6 year old rescued springer Spaniel who lives with Dawn and her two other Springer Spaniels.  Dawn is unaware of the previous life that Barney had but judging by his nervous and timid nature it’s safe to conclude that he probably wasn’t very well looked after.  Because of Dawn’s caring nature she has over compensated for Barney’s previous lack [...]

I’m fortunate to have Andy Biggar (www.dog-photographer.co.uk)  who’s a great gundog photographer as a friend. Whilst Andy was visiting he snapped a few photos whilst I trained my gundogs.  This is Dexter my working Springer Spaniel training with a rabbit skin dummy supplied by Sporting Saint.

Floyd is the latest addition to Ross’ pack, he already has Shane a well trained springer Spaniel.  Ross decided to acquire another dog because he has enjoyed the time he has spent training Shane and welcomed a new challenge.  He bought Floyd as a part-trained gundog and, after seeing him work for his owner, felt that this [...]
