We'll Train You (to train your dog)
At Acer Gundog Training, we teach you to understand your dog’s motivations. By understanding these, you can train your dog in a way that harnesses their drive and energy, putting it to good use and stimulating their brain.
Just like learning to drive a car or play a musical instrument, we will teach you all the practical skills needed to train your dog. Our experienced team of gundog trainers will provide you with a week-by-week structure and ongoing support along the way.
Of course, what will have the biggest impact on your dog’s behaviour is how you incorporate the training into your daily routine at home.
Ethical Training From Experienced Gundog Trainers
We only use ethical, science-backed gundog training techniques.
Some traditional methods used by other gundog trainers are based on punishment and have been shown to cause behavioural problems such as fear and aggression.
We can show you how to get the best out of your gundog by using their natural instincts to hunt and retrieve. We use only the most up-to-date, scientifically proven training techniques.
No shouting, no yanking on a slip lead, and certainly no need to dominate your dog. Gundog training with Acer is all about setting you and your dog up to succeed. This way, rewards can be provided to reinforce the right behaviour and ensure it will be repeated in the future.
In human terms, we do what we enjoy and find rewarding. Dogs are no different. For training to be effective, we simply have to determine what our dogs find rewarding and provide that as payment. Food is a universal reward for all animals, but gundogs also love activities involving play, chase, hunting, and retrieving. These rewards are all used as an integral part of our gundog training as an ethical means to motivate our dogs to offer desirable behaviours.
Can Bring My Family Pet To Gundog Training?
Our clients include both pet gundog breeds and working dogs.
Many of the owners who come to us for dog training have no interest in taking their dog on a day’s shooting. Their primary interest is in having fun learning how to teach their dog good manners and build a lasting bond.
It is no coincidence that the majority of dogs who come to Acer are, first and foremost, family pets. Some go on to become great working dogs, both in the field and in competition. Others are happy, well-mannered companions for their owners.
The one thing all these dogs have in common is that their owners understand the benefits of training their gundogs in a way that makes the best use of their natural hunting and retrieving instincts.
