Grade 2 Group Gundog Training Leicestershire March 2014
Grade 2 Group gundog training is suitable for any gundog breed over 6
months of age (no age limit), the typical dog that joins this course are
Retrievers, Spaniels and HPR group, we have occasionally allowed dogs
outside of the breed group to attend, if they demonstrate an ability to
learn the tasks of a working gundog. the Course will last 8 weeks for 1
hour per week. On the 8th week students have the option to be assessed
and gain a certificate of achievement, which is independently carried
out by an external assessor.
The majority of students attending these courses are ordinary pet gundog owners, looking to improve their dogs behavior and stimulate their companion above the normal activity level. The structure of the training is designed to complete various training tasks from the very basic to a more advanced working gundog, which some students may wish to get involved on a local shoot or gundog competition.
Whatever your needs our instructor has 15 years experience to help you.
Details of Venues, Costs, Dates and Times can be found on the Grade 2 Booking Form.
Anyone unsure about attending such a course, would be advised to book a Pre Training Assessment. This gives prospective students the chance to meet the instructor and attend some of our training grounds, where we can assess your dogs potential for the course.
What can you expect from attending a Grade 2 Course:
Basic Heel work off the lead without pulling
Basic Steadiness at short distance incorporating a sit and stay command off the lead.
Basic Recall from a short distance with and without a training aid.
Basic Delivery of training aid.
Basic Stop Whistle Command.
Simple Mark Retrieve without running in.
Simple Memory Mark Retrieve.
Basic Directional Control.
The courses are designed to be progressive and we currently have an 80% pass rate with 25% obtaining distinction level, unfortunately not everyone passes first time such are the demands of the course. What we can guarantee is that every dog will improve in some task if you attend every week.
Everyone who pass the course finish with a level of achievement, which is very satisfying without subjecting themselves to the normal competition arena of working or show gundogs.

Gundog Training Award James Roote GSP Grade 1 DISTINCTION Leicestershire
Congratulations to James Roote and German Shorthared Pointer Arthur were awared with a Grade 1 Distinction after training at Working Gundogs for 8 weeks at Great Glen Leicestershire.
Assessments were carried out by Mr. D Field who is an experienced kennel club judge and takes a keen interest in the training of numerous gundog breeds.
Working Gundogs Trainer Stewart North has only been training HPR's over the last 2 years. In this time our trainer has recognised that these breeds can be very sensitive, its important to maintain a balance of obedience and hunting skills if these dogs are to reach their full potential.
New Training Course starting soon

Welcome New Client Juliet Martin & Labrador Retriever Reggie
Juliet & Reggie recently joined one of our group training sessions and has now completed grade 2
Juliet was struggling to control Reggie as a pup, and sought advice from working gundogs on basic problems of Heelwork, sit. stay & recall.
Juliet was so desparate to control Reggie behaviour a vet advise to have the dog castrated, which juliet reluctantly agreed to as she was not considering any future breeding.
Our Trainer advise against this, but reggie had the Op and came for training after a few days.
Reggie is proving to be a first class retriever, despite Juliet having no aspirations to participate in a shooting environment.
Gundog Training has given Juliet some structure and ideas to keep Reggie interested, he is no longer 4 legs of trouble and frustration!
Welcome New Client Yvonne Flavell & ESS Teasel
