Steady, focused and loving the work.
Gundog work is my speciality. Steadiness, delivery and focus are built in small, rewarding steps, so your dog loves the work as much as you do.
Reward-based training teaches a gundog what you want and makes them keen to do it again. Each exercise is broken down to suit your dog, so they build the skill and the enthusiasm together.

Gundog class questions
Does reward-based training really work for gundogs?
Yes. Reward-based training teaches a gundog what you want and makes them keen to do it again. Steadiness, delivery and focus are all broken into small steps, so your dog builds the skill and the enthusiasm together.
Who is Gundog Foundations for?
Spaniels, Labradors, pointers and other gundog breeds, aged 1 year and over.
Where are the classes held?
Classes are held in Lewknor, OX49 5RY, with both an indoor and an outdoor training area, so classes go ahead whatever the weather. I work across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and parts of Berkshire.
Is there anything I need to know before booking?
Classes are one dog per handler, and I need proof that your dog's vaccinations are up to date. Courses are paid in advance when you book.
