Testimonial – Gundog Training and Helping Re-Home a Springer Spaniel.

Over the past few weeks Damian has been pushing me more and more to give serious thought to the idea of selling one of my dogs. Why… because my boys are siblings… bought in haste, and without much thought given to how they’d develop and mature together.  I initially bought them as pets, even though they’ve a great pedigree and are from good working stock.  However, following a residential stay with Damian, he unlocked their true potential, giving me a glimmer of what they were truly capable of, and suddenly I was hooked and eager to train and work both dogs.

I commenced training on a weekly basis with both boys and the transformation in their behaviour was amazing.  I had the time to devote to them and thought naively that things could only get better. What I didn’t factor in was the special bond my boys were forming.  Working them together became increasingly difficult and Damian recommended I work them separately.  I followed his advice and both boys thrived; however the situation wasn’t ideal.  I was actually hindering my dogs’ progress and began to realise that I was keeping them together for my own selfish needs.

I followed Damian’s advice and made the very hard decision to part with my little Reggie.  Please read his blog on Tessleymoor Gundogs.

Thank you Damian for all your help and support…I would never have made the decision without you, and whilst it breaks my heart I know it was the right one.
