Gundog Training with Tara the Labrador

It was great to see Tara the young Labrador at dog training again.  I first met Tara when she attended my dog obedience classes in 2012 as a puppy with Janet and her boys.  Tara was a superstar in the classes and showed how well she responded to the consistency that was provided by the training programme. It was a pleasure to train with Tara and her owners and after completion of the dog training classes, I arranged to meet with them for a 1-2-1 gundog training session in December 2012.

Tara’s family are very keen shooting and country pursuits people, and therefore Tara will hopefully become a successful working dog who can accompany them out in the shooting field.

It’s really important to remember that when training a young dog, you have to be consistent and continue to reinforce the basics on a daily basis.  Unfortunately this is something that has been allowed to lapse when training Tara, however due to the families clear understanding and bond with their dog, they knew Tara had potential and wanted to bring her back on track.  Tara is now attending regular 1-2-1 gundog training sessions and I am looking forward to training with her in preparation for the 2013 shooting season.
