Pet Gundog Life Skills & Obedience Classes
for Puppies & Adolescents
Is your Labrador’s over-excitement around distractions embarrassing to handle?
Are you finding your Spaniel’s constant energy levels overwhelming and nothing seems to be helping?
Is their lead pulling making you dread taking them out?
Are you too worried to let them off lead in case they run to every dog they see?
Are they great at home but switch their ears off as soon as you step out the door?
Or maybe you are starting from scratch with a brand-new puppy and want to do everything you can to minimise all the common struggles and frustrations with these breeds and get things off to a good start!
I LOVE Gundog breeds. I love their fun, their affection, their drive and determination.
But life as a pet wasn’t their original purpose.
Because of this, there are some things that are inherently difficult for them. Everyday things that we wouldn’t have considered needing to teach and spend time developing, like relaxing in the house, and being able to walk outside without losing their marbles.
The wonderful picture of holidaying together and long walks in the countryside can quickly turn into what feels like an impossible dream!
These dogs will not do well with nothing more than a daily walk to the same park and the occasional Kong. This lifestyle will not meet their needs as a breed, and they will find their own outlets, and quite often their choice is a problematic one that can be difficult to manage.
The Pet Gundog Life Skills and Obedience course is ONLY for these awesome dogs, that need MORE.
-
More understanding.
-
More training.
-
More mental stimulation.
-
More patience.
-
More time.
-
More skilled and educated handlers.
This course is designed to get you started on your journey together whether you are starting from scratch or revisiting the basics.
I have been working with these breeds and their dedicated humans for years now and I know that your standard village hall training classes typically do not equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to raise these breeds in your home.
I understand what a massive learning curve raising them can be and how overwhelming it can feel.
That’s why the course includes a crazy amount of additional support to help dedicated owners every step of the way.
