The Marches
Dog Training
It was my first Labrador Otto really kickstarted my love for training. Soon after he arrived I completed my certification with the Dog Training College and we haven’t looked back since. By 8 months he had travelled to 8 countries to reach the Arctic Circle, and our adventures continue. He inspired me to deeply understand the relationship between dog and handler and how we can create this harmony and symbiosis. We continue to work together through Gun Dog enrichment training and on the shooting field to explore how far we can push this relationship.
About the pack
Then came Wilbur…. and what a whirlwind he has been! A rescue who longed for someone to run with him in his goofy behaviours and support him through his anxious ones. You couldn’t get more opposite if you tried! Scared of the world around him, not driven to retrieve or train in the same way… so i’ve adapted! Although pushing through his barriers and really moving forward, he is a perfect example of how training is absolutely not linear and is a continual process. Different dogs need diffferent training plans, but every dog deserves a relationship with their handler.
Training Packages
I offer 1:1 training as a standard to ensure each dog gets the time and dedication they need. I am able to give in-depth, bespoke advice and training plans in these sessions and I would always recommend these even if a one off in conjunction with a workshop or event. Individual sessions can cover anything you want whether it be for enrichment or a training issue you need help with.
Standard Packages
Puppy Package : 4 week course of 1 hour sessions
Adolecent Masterclass : 4 week course of 1 hour sessions
Gun Dog Games : 6 week course of 1 hour sessions
Do get in contact for more details pricing and packages available and if you don’t see what you need listed i am more than happy to discuss your training needs.
