Our courses are designed so that you succeed in your training, not fail, and that you build your relationship with your dog in a positive approach. Steve always says that he is ‘teaching you to train your dog’™.

On a weekend course you can expect on the first day to have an informal evaluation of all dogs, finding out how you operate with your dog, what your problem areas are, what your aspirations with your dog are, then Steve will go from there and work from your/your dogs level to start you on his positive techniques of training.

Our facilities:

We are fortunate to have access to moor land, fields and woodlands (400 acres shoot). Ponds and some running water. We have secure paddocks and a retrieving/jumping lane.

We hope to be able to help you in one way or another in your training.

WEEKEND TRAINING COURSES

Following feedback from our very successful residential training courses it has become apparent that attendees would appreciate the opportunity to have additional training sessions in small groups during the year to assist them to fine tune their skills. Therefore we have created and are now able to offer weekend courses for up to 4 dogs and their handlers. These courses are open to anyone (and any breed of gundog) with an interest in learning the art of handling a gundog in respect of either the shooting or trialling fields or just enjoying your dog. We can also arrange 'one to one' training sessions to suit any individual requirements - please contact us to discuss your needs.

WEEKEND TRAINING DATES AVAILABLE

Although we advertise some training weekend dates if you are unable to attend one, but have a weekend that you could do, please don’t hesitate to get in touch and we will try to accommodate you. All dates shown in Devon which are not full could have the possibility of being booked by a single group who would like Steve to travel to their own venue and train. If you would be interested, or know of anyone who would be, please ask for more details and costs.

LOCAL EVENING CLASSES

All breeds welcome. We will be starting our Spring Evening Course of group classes from Monday 29th March. The classes will be during the week in the evenings, duration time of 1:30 hours.

So whether you are a novice handler but would like to find out how you can train your dog for the shooting field or a more experienced handler who wants to brush up their training why not come and join us.
