Gundog Training

Specialised skills for working breeds and pet gundogs

At Calmer K9s, we provide professional gundog training designed for working breeds and pet gundogs alike. Gundog training is about more than simply teaching commands—it’s about honing natural instincts, building a strong working relationship, and enriching your dog’s quality of life through mental and physical challenges

What is Gundog Training?

Gundog training is tailored specifically for breeds with natural hunting, retrieving, and tracking abilities, including Labradors, Spaniels, and Setters. Whether your dog is destined for the field or you’re looking to channel their instincts in a positive way, gundog training helps develop discipline, control, and responsiveness while providing the mental and physical stimulation they crave.

Our Approach to Gundog Training

Retrieving and Recall - Teaching your dog to respond quickly to commands and retrieve objects with focus and precision
Steadiness and Patience - Building self-control and calmness, essential for a well-mannered gundog in the field or at home
Directional Control - Guiding your dog’s movement in various environments, improving focus and responsiveness
Scent Work - Enhancing your dog’s natural scent-tracking ability, which is mentally engaging and fulfilling

Each session is tailored to your dog’s experience and personality, using positive reinforcement techniques that build trust and enthusiasm. Whether you’re looking to sharpen existing skills or introduce your dog to the basics, our gundog training focuses on patience, precision, and consistency.

Benefits of Gundog Training

Gundog training isn’t just for those working in the field; it’s also highly beneficial for pet gundogs who may otherwise struggle with boredom or excess energy. Through structured training, your dog will:

Channel Natural Instincts – Gundogs thrive when given tasks that tap into their natural drives
Enhance Obedience – Our training helps your dog develop focus, discipline, and strong recall skills
Provide Stimulation – Mental and physical challenges keep your dog engaged, preventing unwanted behaviours at home
Build a Strong Bond – Gundog training strengthens the relationship between you and your dog, fostering trust and cooperation
