Our Winter Camps are for the older dogs and more experienced handlers.
The focus will be on hunting and retrieving, and working with live game. Building greater flexibility in the behaviours along with duration and distance. The tasks will be more realistic to shooting, trialing, KCWG certificate on game and more challenging within the environment. Pheasant, Partridge and possibly Duck will be used during the weeks and shot fired.
This full week of gundog training will include simulations of a shoot, shooting, beating, and picking up warm game. There will be training for the handlers on what to expect on a shoot, shoot etiquette, how to work in a beating or picking up line.
