Gundog Games - Beginners Group (spring/winter 2024)
Group sessions for beginners who have strong foundations (near Pencoed)
Course Summary
Discover the fun side of gundog training and give your dog's talents a proper outlet in a friendly and fun environment!
Gundog Games are about having fun with your dog, giving them a job that matches their gundog talents and energy, while also giving you a clear structure for training essential and useful dog skills.
The only prerequisites are that your dog can happily focus on you in presence of other dogs and people, and that they enjoy a game of fetch (even if they don't bring the toy all the way back to you).
If your dog gets easily distracted or overwhelmed by other dogs and people, and isn't sure about running out to fetch a toy, start with the foundations course.

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.
