Working Gundogs Graded Gundog Assessments Sunday 27th March 2014

The weather held for a great morning of Grade 1 & 2 Working Gundog Assessments, we had 6 gundogs attend the session with a very experienced gundog assessor Malcom Thwaites.

All handlers and gundogs were required to demonstrate proficient heel work, sit, stay and recall with two simple retrieves at grade 1 level and those taking grade 2 needed to demonstrate the same at a higher level in addition to directional control, memory mark, hunting and stop whistle work.

The Top performer on the day was Golden Retriever Yasmin

handled by Susan March.

Yasmin only lost 1 point in her quest to complete all the Grade 1 tasks to perfection!

We are very fortunate to have access to this wonderful estate, to simulate a number of gundog tasks, which would occur during the shooting season. Tea, Coffee & Soup will be provided for those who book multiple sessions and want to train different dogs. Please note young dogs soon get tired after being trained on water so it would be advisable to book a training session on alternate days or with a 2 hour break during the day. Accommodation can be organised. See Booking Form for details. Each Course will last approx 2 hrs, which enables you to swap dogs or give your dog a rest in between different courses. 

Times, Grades and Costs are covered on the booking form.

Grade 2 Group Gundog Training Rutland 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.
