gun dogs

Our kennels are set in the heart of the Ashdown Forest in Sussex and have access to some of the most superb facilities to train dogs for the field.

We offer ‘one to one’ training throughout the year and small group sessions during the spring, summer and autumn. These sessions are designed for both Spaniel and Retriever Breeds.

The ethos of our lessons is to work with the dog’s natural abilities and drives, always building the confidence with motivational training, using non-compulsive methods.

Search Dogs

"thought provoking – I just want to know more. Thank you for showing me a constructive alternative way to get my dog to do the things that I want him to do, and training me to understand my dog."

Training

"I only wish that I had brought you to my home with your advice when my dog was a puppy and before I did a good job of messing it up! It has been a resounding success and my life with my dog now is a pleasure and not a stress. Thank you so much. I will recommend you to all my friends."

Behavioural Training

"Thank you for my puppy, your knowledge in the breeding, whelping and rearing of these puppies cannot be recommended highly enough. It was enlightening and fascinating, I will definitely continue with the diet and puppy training programme that you gave me. You really should write a book!"

Puppies

"The testing of our litter of working Springer Spaniels was intriguing to watch and as a result we have kept the right puppy to ‘Trial’, and homed the others responsibly. Knowing their temperaments and personalities at such an early stage has been such a help, we will call you in next time we have a litter. Thanks once again."
