GUNDOG SKILLS
This course is perfect for friendly dogs who enjoy working around others — and you don’t need a gundog breed to take part.
We’ll cover key skills like recall, lead walking, focus and retrieving, all using reward-based, real- life training.
What Is Gundog Training?
Gundog training isn’t just for working dogs or countryside shoots — it’s a style of training that taps into natural instincts like retrieving, hunting, and working alongside a human. It’s fun, practical, and brilliant for building real-life skills and connection, even if your dog never picks up a bird in their life.
Examples of typical gundog breeds include labradors, spaniels, vizslas, pointers, and poodles — but plenty of crossbreeds share those same instincts and energy… yes, that means your cockapoo!
While some breeds were bred as gundogs, dogs of all breeds and backgrounds can enjoy gundog training just as much. So, even if your dog isn’t a classic retriever, they might surprise you — don’t be put off, come along and try it for yourself!
