Service Description

Gundog Foundation Training Monday 2/11, 9/11, 16/11, 23/11, 30/11 & 7/12 12pm to 1.30pm (1.5 hour session) The Old House Farm, Oddley Lane, Saunderton, Bucks Cost per session: £40 Total cost: £240 (full course only) This group is ideal for young dogs or inexperienced handlers who want to build strong foundations in gundog work. It is also suitable for pet gundogs who enjoy hunting and retrieving. Dogs of any breed are welcome, ideally from six months of age. Dogs should already be comfortable training in a small outdoor group and have basic foundations in place. If your dog is not yet ready for this level, it is advisable to join either my puppy group or my heel, recall and focus workshop before attending. This course is an excellent starting point before progressing to training at West Wycombe, ensuring your dog has the essential groundwork needed to move on with confidence. It suits anyone wanting to develop a better working partnership with their pet gundog, and those hoping to advance towards competition or fieldwork in the future. Training areas and discussion topics 1. Heel work 2. Steadiness 3. Stop whistle 4. Hunting 5. Marked retrieves 6. Memory retrieves 7. Blind retrieves 8. Walk up 9.

If I have to cancel any sessions for any reason, they may be moved to a 1‑2‑1 session. In this case, the difference in fee must be paid.
