Our Next Workshops
Blind Retrieve and Long Retrieve Workshop.
This practical workshop will help handlers build better blind and long retrieves, with a clear focus on marking, memory, trust, and control. We'll work on steady handling, straight lines, clean delivery, and confident work at distance.
First, we'll cover blind retrieves, helping dogs take direction calmly and accurately. Then we'll move on to long retrieves, where dogs need to hold lines, remember falls, and keep drive without losing control.
The session suits working dogs and gundog handlers who want to sharpen basics or improve more advanced retrieve work. By the end, you'll have simple, useful training steps to carry on at home.
Date: Saturday 2nd May 2026
Held at our Training Fields and starts at 10am

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.
