GUNDOG TRAINING
Wrencourt Gundogs offers tailor-made training for all gundog breeds, registered or unregistered, either in groups or on an individual basis. Number of participants in group lessons are kept low to ensure that everyone gets the most out of their training.
Training takes place all year round. Please find below our current schedule. For the most up-to-date information, please join our Wrencourt Gundogs Facebook page.
Virtual gundog training is also available for anyone who is unable to take part in our small group gundog lessons. We have successfully helped a client from Yorkshire train her dog virtually during the COVID months:
“As we were going into lockdown March 2020 , I saw Steve of Wrencourt Gundogs had advertised ‘Zoom’ training sessions on Facebook. Intrigued, I rang Steve to find out more . He asked me to send a video clip of my garden to enable him to plan training sessions .
I have had extremely successful training sessions from March to present day . His sessions are progressive and informative, demonstrating Steve’s ability to adapt to different situations and to keep thinking of new exercises to do in a garden. His positive training methods and his endless patience is amazing, both with dog and handler. I would highly recommend Steve and this way of training.” Sue Cinnott
