Our Next Workshops
Workshop in the Woodlands
Any successful retrieve depends on clear handling, calm focus, and a strong bond of trust between the dog and handler. Our Workshop, held in the woodlands, is designed to nurture all three qualities for both novice and experienced participants.
Taking place in a natural woodland environment, the workshop provides handlers and their dogs with opportunities to practise retrieves in authentic and varied terrain. The woodland cover brings with it scent, shade, and distractions, making it a valuable test of control and teamwork between dog and handler.
Throughout the session, emphasis will be placed on developing core retrieve skills, including:
- Marked retrieves
- Memory retrieves
- Steadiness and patience
- Cleaner delivery to hand
- Confidence in more natural cover
This workshop appeals to handlers looking for effective training without unnecessary complication. It offers a chance to enhance retrieve performance, build consistency, and enjoy productive time in the woods with your dog.
Places are limited, so early booking is recommended to secure your spot.

Water Workshop
Training your gundog to retrieve in water can bring fresh challenges, so this water workshop is built to help you break each part down clearly.
You and your dog will work on the steps needed for a confident water retrieve, including swimming out to a fall, handling water, crossing to an island, and returning from the far bank with a dummy.
The focus is on steady progress, clear handling, and building confidence in water.
In the workshop, you can expect to:
- Develop your dog's comfort and confidence in water
- Practise retrieving to different points, including an island and the other bank
- Build a stronger, more reliable response to a water fall
- Improve control and timing during each retrieve
This kind of training matters because water adds extra distance, different surfaces, and new distractions. With the right structure, you can help your dog work through each stage with more confidence.
If you want to sharpen your dog's water retrieving skills, this workshop gives you a clear place to start.
Places are limited, so early booking is recommended to secure your spot.
