Our dogs' fun work
Gundog work remains some of the most enjoyable work our dogs undertake. Put simply: they absolutely love it.
Working spaniels were bred to hunt, retrieve and work alongside people. Gundog work allows them to express many of the natural behaviours that generations of selective breeding have developed.
Why it is so valuable for the dogs
- Mental stimulation and problem solving
- Physical exercise and conditioning
- Confidence building
- Natural instinct fulfilment
- Environmental enrichment
- Focus, steadiness and self-control
- Stronger handler relationships
Good for everyone involved
Gundog work strengthens communication, teamwork and trust between dog and handler. Few activities build such a close partnership, and that partnership carries across into every other discipline our dogs undertake.
For our dogs, gundog work is not simply training. It is an opportunity to do what generations of breeding have prepared them to do.
