Helping pet Gundogs thrive by embracing what they were bred to do

The Gundog Package

Gundog breeds are incredibly popular pets - and for good reason. They are intelligent, loyal, eager to please and full of personality. However, for many gundogs, an active home and plenty of exercise alone isn’t always enough. Without an outlet for their natural instincts, they can become over-aroused, easily distracted, frustrated, or struggle with behaviours such as running off to greet other dogs.

Even if you have no intention of stepping onto a shooting field, your pet gundog still carries the same natural drives and instincts as a working gundog. Gundog training is a fantastic way to channel those instincts in a positive, fulfilling way while building a stronger partnership between you and your dog.

Through fun, reward based training, we help you develop skills such as recall, retrieving, scent work, focus, steadiness and teamwork, giving your dog an appropriate outlet for their breed-specific needs.

The result? A more fulfilled dog, a stronger relationship, calmer walks and a companion who feels understood.

Whether you have an adolescent dog needing more focus, an older dog who loves to learn, or a puppy ready to progress beyond the basics, our gundog sessions are tailored to suit your dog's individual journey.
