Gundog Training Services
I offer one to one & group gundog training in the Gloucester, Stroud & The Forest of Dean area, based only 5 minutes from M5 I also have other areas to train you and your dog in both Herefordshire and Somerset.
All dog handlers including myself can have training problems. I know it can leave you feeling disillusioned and frustrated. But with thought and seeing it from a dogs point of view, many issues can be resolved with help, advice and guidance.
My aim is to teach you to be confident and relaxed while training your dog.
I focus on taking things one step at a time and not to be in a hurry to rush on. Dogs like people are individuals and some can take longer to learn than others.
My feelings are that owners need to be one step ahead, learn to read the situation, watch their dogs body language, keep calm when things go astray and praise yourself and your dog when things go great!
I am able to provide a secure training paddock with various training facilities including a steadying pen.

Pet Dog Training
I can also help with pet dogs, as I have trained many different breeds from Cockerpoos to Great Danes over the years! A well trained pet dog is a joy to be around. I can help with puppy training including any unwanted behaviour issues, walking calmly on the lead, sitting and staying, coming when called, house training and the most important of all socialisation with other dogs. A well balanced, trained dog is a happy dog which also means a happy owner.

Training a gundog takes time, patience and understanding
With my knowledge, experience, and your time and patience, you can have a gundog to be proud of, I believe that anyone is capable of success if they are willing to listen and put in the time.
There is nothing more rewarding than being complemented about the behaviour and training of your dog by others.
