Gundog Games (Novice) from 8th January
Group sessions for novice level (6 sessions on selected Sundays)
Course Summary
Discover the fun side of gundog training in a friendly and positive, reward-based environment!
Gundog Games are about having fun with your spaniel, labrador, other retriever or HPR , giving them a job that matches their talents and energy, while also giving you a clear structure for your dog's everyday life skills training.
To join this course, your dog need to have basic retrieve (doesn't have to be to hand), basic heel position, good recall and super focus on you in presence of other dogs and people.
If you don't yet have these skills with your dog, consider the beginners sessions or ask us about 121 training first.
Apart from the 2h group sessions, you will have access to a student group on FB.

Course Curriculum
Aleksandra Borawska
Hi, I'm Aleks!
I help people with crazy, lovable, naughty young spaniels (and other working breed pets) to build a happy harmonious and fun-filled life together. I support them in learning the skills they need, so that they can go wherever they want and to have amazing adventures together. I help them understand their adolescent spaniel, discover what's going on underneath the surface and create an amazing connection.
I am an accredited dog training instructor with IMDT (Institute of Modern Dog Trainers), a Mantrailing UK instructor and a UK College of Scent Dogs instructor. I'm currently working towards a gundog training instructor certification with Gundog Trainers Academy.
I am also a canine behaviour practitioner, with over 10 years of intensive practical experience, hundreds of successful behaviour modification programmes and an extensive continued professional development in dog behaviour and training.
I live in the Welsh mountains with my 6 dogs, including a working cocker, springer spaniel, a labrador retriever, a collie mix and a two staffordshire bull terriers. We train and compete in several dog sports and training projects, including scent detection, competition obedience, working gundog tests and GRC/Canine Athletics. In winter, I'm part of a beating team on three local shoots.
