Pet Gun Dog Foundations
Pet Gun Dog Foundations
Need help?
Designed for pet gundog breeds (Spaniels, Retrievers, Vizslas and more!), this fun and practical workshop introduces key foundation skills rooted in traditional gundog training – all adapted for everyday pet life.
Using force-free, reward-based methods, we’ll channel your dog’s natural drive into focused behaviours that enhance connection, engagement and calmness. Expect a blend of impulse control, retrieve, recall, directional work and fun games to enrich your dog’s mind and body.
What we’ll cover:
Engagement & focus
Recall foundations
Introduction to retrieve
Stop & impulse control games
Directional cues and groundwork
Enrichment ideas tailored for high-energy breeds
This workshop is ideal for young dogs, working breeds living in pet homes, or anyone curious about starting their gundog training journey. No experience needed – just bring your dog, some tasty treats, and your sense of humour!
