Junior Gundog Training

Junior Gundog comprises two levels, each lasting 6 weeks:

•Foundation Course: provides an introduction to skills in the Junior Gundog syllabus

•Improver Course: builds on the skills from the Foundation Course, taking them to a higher level

Who Is This Course For?

This course is for dogs who have already developed the skills we train at Beginner level and have passed the Beginner Gundog Fieldwork Test.
 
If you haven’t trained with us before but think your dog can demonstrate all of these skills (in an environment like a training field and with other dogs present), please submit a registration form, and we’ll be in touch to discuss this further. Select ‘Something More Advanced’ option on the form.
