Spaniel training covers a variety of skills including obedience, retrieving and quartering.  We have a variety of spaniels coming to group training classes including cocker spaniels and English and Welsh springer spaniels as well as clumber spaniels.

 

Our spaniel training starts at puppy classes right through to advanced training allowing you to build up your dogs confidence to deal with a variety of different demands made upon them, wether as a well behaved pet or as a well rounded gun dog working in the field, our classes will get you and your dog there.

As well as training for the traditional role of the spaniel, a hunter we also look and train for retrieving, another aspect of their job.
