Willow the Beautiful Labrador

gundog training labrador shooting season

Willow has the grace and elegance of a princess and reminds me very much of my beautiful Labrador, Meg. She is owned by a family who shoot and already have an older Lab. They have done a lot of training with Willow but need guidance before she can work. There is no substitute for one-to-one dog training. You can read all the books you like and watch YouTube videos but the hands on experience is so much more effective.

Willow was a little timid when she first came for lessons. This is a result of being overloved – I see this a lot. Don’t create a problem by killing your dog with kindness. Create a good structure and a strong bond instead. We now have Willow working on delivery. She is a stunning dog and one I would love to have in my kennels.
