Gundog photography with Andy Biggar at the Lakeland Gundog Training day, Cumbria, Lancashire. · 29 April 2012
I was delighted to attend a Charity gundog training day in aid of ‘Help for Heroes’ hosted by the Lakeland Gundog Club at the Biglands Estate. Along with three other gundog trainers the aim of the day was to offer guidance on all disciplines of gundog training and to raise money for this worthy cause. The main training focus on [...]
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 [...]
Gundog Training Testimonial for Sally the Working Labrador Retriever, Preston, Lancashire · 15 January 2012
I thank the lucky day I met Damian by chance, as I had been in a quandary over certain aspects of training my 2 year old lab. You only have to see Damian handling a dog to know immediately that he loves dogs and knows what he is doing. As a role model, he inspires [...]
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
What a fantastic lad Bobby is to have as a residential dog in my care. I have trained with Bobby and his owner Simon on a number of occasions on a 1-2-1 basis but it was agreed with Simon that Bobby would benefit from intensive residential training with me to help him to focus when training. [...]
Gundog Training with Bailey and Mack the Working Labradors. · 30 August 2011
Bailey and Mack are young male Labradors who are bred from two of the best working dog bloodlines, Glenbriar and Drakeshead. They are owned by Tony, who is only too aware of their training capabilities, and wants to train them to their full and deserved potential. We met at my grounds for an assessment regarding what training options [...]
Gundog/Obedience Training with Millie the Labrador. · 30 August 2011
Kathryn was referred to me by an existing client as she was unhappy about an experience she had with other trainers. Her dog Millie is a very nervous 4 year old Labrador and a recent incident had exacerbated the problem of her nervousness and now Kathryn is becoming fearful of Millie’s behaviour around strangers and their dogs. In my experience [...]
Livestock desensitisation training. · 23 August 2011
This boy is my 2 1/2 year old working Labrador Sam remaining steady whilst being approached by some curious sheep. When Sam first joined my pack 18 months ago he was incapable of being this close to livestock without wanting to chase them but with the correct training, here at www.gundog-training4u.co.uk I believe that most canine behavioural problems can be overcome. If you [...]
Gundog training with Bobby the Working Labrador. · 2 August 2011
Bobby is a handsome 14 month old Fox red Labrador whose owner Simon is a keen shooter and wants to train Bobby to accompany him on local shoots. There are also other members of the pack who want to treat Bobby as a family dog rather than one used solely for working and it is this [...]
Gundog training with Diesel the working Labrador. · 2 August 2011
Diesel attends my dog obedience classes with his owner Sandip and the duo are working well together. Diesel is a very sociable lad and has responded well to my training techniques but he has issues regarding his behaviour away from the training grounds. Sandip and his wife Shallini have become exasperated with Diesel jumping-up when visitors call to their home and stealing [...]
Gundog Training with Friski the Labrador cross Collie. · 25 July 2011
Sarah and Friski are regulars in the dog obedience world and, although Friski is trained to a high standard, Sarah feels that she can enrich her life further by introducing her to a more complex and varied training program. The pair also compete in ‘gundog scurries’ and Sarah is confident that training Friski using gundog training [...]
Dog Obedience Training with Monty the Labrador. · 18 July 2011
Monty’s owner Helen has been finding this young lad a bit of a handful lately regarding his boisterous behaviour and inability to follow her instructions. She also wants to train him to a basic gundog level using the whistle to convey her commands in an attempt to mentally stimulate him. I understand Helen’s goals but [...]
Obedience and Gundog Training with Scuba the Working Labrador. · 13 July 2011
Scuba and his owner Zac are two real gents and were a thrill to train with today. Zac has an interest in bush-craft and wants Scuba to be a retrieve dog so they can experience the great outdoors together. Scuba comes from a good training line and showed a willingness to train. Today’s session was to concentrate [...]

Lakeland Gundog Club is a new club that is set in 100 acres of glorious woodland, 5 miles of river-ways and an additional 20 acres of marsh land, [...]
