Gundog Training for Beginners

Service Description

Wolf & Withers gundog training sessions are recommended for owners and dogs or puppies new to the sport, wishing to learn the crucial methods for establishing the foundations of a great gundog. These appointments are booked on a pay-as-you-go basis, allowing a no-pressure environment, working at your own pace. It is difficult to pinpoint exactly how many sessions a dog may need as this depends heavily on various factors such as dog temperament, any previous training, at-home participation and the level of your end goal. All dogs are unique, and some will pick training up quicker than others. Therefore, paying as you go means we can customise the amount of sessions to the individual requirements of your dog, completing sessions as soon as you've accomplished what you came to achieve. Alternatively, we do offer package schemes, perfect for those that prefer to plan ahead whilst saving money! To explore our gundog packs, visit the PACKAGE PLANS page. The types of hunting techniques that can be covered in gundog sessions include: - Obedience & Recall - Retrieving, Marking & Blind Retrieves - Scent Training - Steadiness & Desensitisation to the shot - Whistle Commands - Quartering - Distraction Training - Water Training These sessions are not limited to the gundog group and all breeds are welcome. Take into consideration certain breeds will be better suited to particular techniques such as spaniels to quartering etc. These types of lessons are designed to be flexible, however it is recommended that sessions occur weekly with consistent at-home training in-between sessions to maximise success, and minimising the likelihood of requiring more sessions in whole! It is beneficial for dogs to have basic obedience understanding prior to your first session (sit, stay, recall). However, this can be covered in initial stages for canines entirely new to training, but please bear in mind this will likely result in requiring additional sessions to reach your end goal. Please note that there is a 50p charge for every mile outside of a 15 mile radius of Cantley, Norfolk. PRICE 1 person and dog= £32 per session 2+ participants (dog each)= £30 per person per session
