Testimonial – Gundog Training Olie the Labrador.

.. Where do I start,

I first spoke to Damian re Gundog Training after a I had bought a dog at 11 months (part trained). My thoughts of a part trained dog and what I got where very different….

I trained for a while with another trainer maybe a month but it was no fun for me or the dog it was very regimented and almost as if the dog was working out of fear … So I contacted Damian spoke to him and arranged a 1-2-1 Gundog Lesson.. we had a runner a dog not focused you name it we had it.

So at the end of the lesson the following advice was given… Relax with your dog he is not doing it because he is disobeying you, he does not understand what you want, You are to erratic in your actions/commands the dog is confused fearful almost.  Stop focussing on the negative beating your self up because he run off ,So he run off but he come back in 5 minutes and not half hour so he is slowly trusting you as he come back.

Damian has given me the confidence to train my dog with care and attention .. If any thing he has trained me.

I am now a more relaxed trainer who is getting from my dog what I always wanted and enjoying every minute .. Don’t get me wrong it goes wrong from time to time but a quick call and short discussion is all it takes to put you right and sort the problems.

I have just started Gundog Training Classes that are very good for us both and gives us access to lots more training scenarios with other dogs around in a very relaxed atmosphere.
