More Success with Working Gundogs Graded Training Assessments



Sunday 10th October saw the completion of 8 weeks structured gundog training for 18 students from the East Midlands. Our resident gundog trainer Stewart North managed to encourage 14 Students to take an independent assessment of their gundog handling skills, under the eyes of our Assessor Mr. David Field.
David has many years experience training a variety of gundog breeds, he is also a kennel club B Panel Retriever Judge, who enjoy's helping others develope a well balanced gundog.

We achieved a 100% pass rate for Grade 1, 100% for Grade 2 and 75% for Grade 3 each student received a certificate of achievement, acknowledging all their hard work over recent weeks.
Overall we had a 92% success rate.

We had an excellent turn out with a number of different gundog breeds and for the first time an Irish Water Spaniel passed our grade 1 level.

Structured Training is proving very popular with our clients, it gives them a set number of tasks to complete in a set time period, which does not suit everyone, but the majority of clients see progress towards a more obedient gundog, for purpose the dog was bred for..
