Gundog Training with Libby the Labrador – Preston, Lancashire · 29 January 2012

It was great to train with Peter and his working Labrador Libby today.  This was our 3rd gundog training lesson and I’m pleased to say there has been a noticeable improvement from our first meeting.  Whilst Peter is not looking to work Libby he wanted to address issues regarding Libby’s lack of attention towards him, especially when in the fields.  Libby and [...]

Residential Gundog Training a Hungarian Vizsla, Preston, Lancashire. · 27 December 2011

Zack is now 7 months old and has resided with me on numerous occasions for residential gundog training. He’s a super dog and has proven to be responsive to whistle training and can now stop, sit, recall and turn when instructed.  The use of the whistle means that he isn’t trained to my voice so his owner [...]

Residential Gundog Training for Zack the Hungarian Vizsla. · 13 December 2011

Zack is a 6 month old Hungarian Vizsla that has been with me recently for residential gundog training.  During his stay I concentrated on teaching him basic commands to ensure he is 100% focused whilst on and off the lead.

Tonight’s dog training class comes at the end of a six week period which has seen dogs and their handlers learn a variety of new skills and techniques.  Because of the diverse range of breeds and ages of dogs no two sessions have been the same and I have certainly been kept on my toes. [...]

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 with Tess and Megs the Working Labradors. · 19 September 2011

I met with Steve and Tess about a month ago when Steve contacted me after he was unimpressed with a previous trainer he had.  He told me that, while Tess was residing with the trainer, she had a bad experience and became fearful of the gun.  Not ideal for a Gundog I’ll admit but I hoped to help [...]

Residential Gundog Training with Bobby the Fox Red Labrador. · 8 September 2011
