Beginners Gundog

Based on the Grade One field test your dog will be training to walk a short distance at heel on a lead, sit and stay whilst you walk away, come when he is called, and carry out some simple retrieves.

Obedience

HEEL- The handler is required to walk the dog on a loose lead from the line to the 20 yard sit marker.
SIT- The handler is required to sit the dog at the 20-yard marker with one command, remove the lead, and to return to the line without the dog.
STAY- The dog must remain seated for two minutes. The handler can give the dog one ‘stay’ reminder either before returning to the line, or from the line if he wishes to do so.
RECALL- The handler will be required to recall the dog from the line by voice or whistle without undue delay and to replace his lead without fuss.

Retrieving

RETRIEVE NO 1 A single marked retrieve on land and in clear view at 15 yards.
RETRIEVE NO 2 A single marked retrieve on land and in clear view at 20 yards.

Note: This course consists of 6x1hr sessions spread over 12 weeks (One session every two weeks)
