ESHIELS GUNDOGS

Training

All our training is carried out in a friendly positive manner. We love our dogs and they love to work for us, and this is developed through the nature of training we carry out. 

We are able to offer a number of different training options, from one to one's, training in pairs and groups for any breeds of dogs at all levels. Please phone or email to book your training session.

Puppy

There is no set time to start training your puppy; in fact from the time you bring it home it is advisable to instil best practice. We can help you get your puppy off to a positive and rewarding start. Providing information from feeding and housing through to do’s and don’ts, equipment, early retrieving and hunting stimulation. We can advise you what behaviour to expect from your puppy as it matures, helping you to form a strong bond at an early age.  

Lessons for puppies are for approx 30-40 minutes each time. 
 
Novice
At novice level we starting with the basics, we assess you and your dog and provide a programme of training to take you forward. We will help you with specific training issues or just assisting you to move on with your preferred type of working. Introduction of handling and retrieving instincts will encourage your dog to go about its task with confidence and enthusiasm. Be it general training, working tests, beating or picking up.
 
Lessons are for approx 1 hour.

Intermediate 

Following on from the basics, we can assist you with more advanced training to gradually introduce your dog to different environments and working practice. Teaching your dog to remain focused and steady when working with distractions, through to the introduction of shot and cold game. This may be competed on a one to one and also in group sessions.

Lessons are for approx 1 hour.
