Thank you so much for writing to tell us how much you have enjoyed your training.  Here are a selection of comments from students around the country

 

"I have been taking part in the Grade One training sessions and I have to say that they have been brilliant!

After my first session with Keith I was shocked at how much I had learnt and totally amazed how quickly Charley picked up what he was being taught...

...the whole course is a great idea as not only do you get the help you need to train your young dog but you also meet like minded people who 9 times out of 10 are having the same battles with their dog as you are...which was great to know it wasn’t just you who was doing  something wrong!

Marie Reidie, Norfolk

 

"I just wanted to say how pleased we are to have found your organisation.  Being new to the gun dog world myself,  it has personally given me such confidence and enjoyment with training my dogs and I am looking forward to taking at least one of them up through the levels. 

Also the training books are excellent."

J.W.,  Bedfordshire
 

"As a result of my trainer's help I have gone from a dog who was fit for very little , to a dog who will retrieve to hand (both dummies and cold game) is steady to shot and will move at the speed of lightening when cast off, whether it be marked or blinds....  ...a most gratifying course with some of the most welcoming and friendly people I have come across"

Benjamin Pearl, Devon

 

"Stephen's passion for dogs came through, but more importantly he observed the potential in my dog, and gave calm and sensitive teaching"

C.B., Leicestershire

 

"I would like to say how much I enjoyed the course.  Meeting like minded people in a lovely environment helped to spur us on to make progress week by week and we were all delighted with our individual results." 

V.G., Devon

 

"Really enjoyed it, it was extremely useful. I would recommend it to anybody who has a gundog, even if they are not looking to work with it in the dog in the field.  It helps build the relationship with the dog and a bond."

Sarah Scott, Cheshire

 

"I am very grateful to Gun Dog Club for introducing me to what seems like a different world"

Mike Hazell-Smith, East Sussex  Mike's story

 

 "I found the workshop very helpful and instructive - I'm not an experienced handler and was doing quite a few things wrong.  It made me realise that there is probably no such thing as a bad dog, just a badly handled dog.  My dog has been working much better at home since.  And the gaps in my training
methods have been filled in.  Some things were a complete revelation.  I am so grateful - thank you for organising the day.  We both enjoyed it!"

Caroline, East Sussex

 

This is just a quick note to say thank you for what has proved to be a wonderfully solid foundation for Henry's future happiness and fulfilment.

Lynne and Richard Ward, Derbyshire  Lynne's story

 

The course, website and club have been fantastic and
have welcomed us even though we don't have "papers" for Grace.  I wanted to ensure you all knew we are very grateful!

Nina Harding, Wiltshire

 

I'm extremely pleased to be able to report that Ollie passed the test with flying colours, not something I'd have believed possible only a couple of months ago when I was at the point of parting with Ollie, having tried three trainers without noticeable change. I rang you in desperation. From day one, our Gundog Club trainer helped us make progress together. She was always calm, never phased by any of the appalling or ridiculous behaviour Ollie was showing, and has supported us through what really was a difficult time

Nancy Smith, Gloucestershire

 

We both passed our tests with merit, we had a lovely trainer and I’m looking forward to doing my grade four. A big thank you to the gundog club for having good trainers. Thank you very much

Caroline Thresher, Devon

 

"Impossible to put into words the feelings of elation, amazement and joy"

Lynne Ward describing the experience of handling Henry as he made his first 'real' retrieves

 

I just wanted to share with you my delight and also say how helpful it has been to me as an absolute novice - never having trained a gundog, let alone an HPR, before - to have your organisation structuring the training and levels in the way you do.
