Gundog Games (Novice) from 8th January
Group sessions for novice level (6 sessions on selected Sundays)
Course Summary
Discover the fun side of gundog training in a friendly and positive, reward-based environment!
Gundog Games are about having fun with your spaniel, labrador, other retriever or HPR , giving them a job that matches their talents and energy, while also giving you a clear structure for your dog's everyday life skills training.
To join this course, your dog need to have basic retrieve (doesn't have to be to hand), basic heel position, good recall and super focus on you in presence of other dogs and people.
If you don't yet have these skills with your dog, consider the beginners sessions or ask us about 121 training first.
Apart from the 2h group sessions, you will have access to a student group on FB.

Course Curriculum
Aleksandra Borawska
Hi, I'm Aleks!
I help people with crazy, lovable, sassy young spaniels to build a happy life together.
I support them in learning the skills they need to be able to bring their dog anywhere with them and have wonderful adventures together.
I help them decipher their adolescent spaniel, discover how to harness their talents and create a true partnership.
I am a co-founder of Scurry Dog, a dog sport inspired by spaniels and developed for all active pets who want to play gundog games without bangs, guns and birds.
I'm 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've got 11 years of intensive practical experience in training and behaviour modification, with thousands of happy clients and successful programmes.
My life is all about dogs, continuous learning and practice, every single day.
I live in the Welsh mountains with my 5 dogs, including a working Cocker, Springer Spaniel, a Labrador Retriever, a Collie mix and a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. 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 my local shoots with Raven, the cocker.
