Show Breed English Springer Spaniel Gundog Training
Congratulations to Mrs J Warner and English Springer Spaniel Polly, who retrieved a dead pigeon for the first time, this may not seem a great achievement for the normal gundog handler who's dog carries working bloodlines.Polly is a full pedigree show spaniel who initially would not hunt or retrieve. Its been a long road over 12 months, but well worth it in the end.
Our Midlands Gundog Trainer Stewart North would like to thank Mr. & Mrs S Warner, Cadeby Hall, Warwickshire for their patience and trust in our gundog training skills.
Welcome New Client James Roote & GSP Arthur
James & Arthur recently joined our Grade 1 Group Training program and have made such progress that Grade 2 Stop Whistle Work on recall, has started.
German Shorthaired Pointers can be very sensitive, they require a great deal of time and patience to train, our Midlands Gundog Trainer Stewart North has considerable experience with these type of Gundogs and help students, to make the right decisions during the training process.

Its Just a Gundog
"Its Just a Gundog"
From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a gundog,"
or, "that's a lot of money for just a gundog."
They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a gundog."
Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a gundog."
Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a gundog,"
but I did not once feel slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a gundog," and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a gundog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's "just a gundog," then you will probably understand phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."
"Just a gundog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy.
"Just a gundog" brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person.
Because of "just a gundog", I will rise early, have long training sessions and look longingly to the future.
So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a gundog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future,
the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.
"Just a gundog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a gundog", but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a man or woman."
So the next time you hear the phrase "just a gundog"
just smile... because they "just don't understand."

Gundog Training Leicestershire
Gundog Training in Leicestershire is a growing business, Leicestershire has always been fortunate to have some of the best gundog trainers in the UK, don't despair seek help theres plenty in Leicestershire, we don't suit everyone, but 40 gundogs a week and record numbers of residential dogs is disturbing the competition ! try us out http://workinggundogs.co.uk/Gundog Training Northamptonshire
Working Gundog Students with their Gundogs
enjoying summer training in Northamptonshire on Sunday evenings, these students are learning about off lead heelwork, steadiness, patience, directional work, basic handling skills, recall, hunting, mark retrieves, memory retrieves.
All our training is structured with levels of attainment over a series of grades and assessments.
Our training is highly disciplined for those who aspire to work a proper hunting dog, despite this we find their is high demand with owners who have submissive dogs who just require a general level of obedience and an increase in self confidence.
Our aim is to produce an enjoyable non competitive learning environment, without losing site of what a proper hunting dog is all about, "finding dead and wounded game". Our students enter our training programs at the basic level and then decided how far they wish to travel ! 90% complete their training with a better behaved dog, 50% complete their training having achieved 85% of the required level.
Our next course starts in Northamptonshire 11th July 2010
