"We all hit challenges with our dogs at times, some being more frustrating than others, however, the most important thing is to not take it personally, stay calm and be in the moment: getting wound up about it or angry with your dog will just make it worse and could end up destroying, albeit temporarily, your relationship with your dog."

Are you ready to take your training up a notch?

Picking up where The Pet Gundog and The Pet Gundog Puppy leave off, The Advanced Pet Gundog is aimed at dogs that are around 10 months old or over and takes you through ‘how to’ do the advanced techniques needed to take your training to the next level, whether that’s taking part in working tests, working your dog, or simply going out and having fun with your mates and their dogs.
A much more technical book, than The Pet Gundog and The Pet Gundog Puppy, covering the senses and mechanics of movement, The Advanced Pet Gundog also covers ‘why we train this way’, which gives you a deeper understanding of your dog and a fascinating insight into the mind of your pet gundog.
"Reads really well and not difficult to understand. Great for getting the best out of your dogs. A great addition to the previous book. Useful and comprehensive advice, with great online demos to complement the books!"
(Please note: The sequence of books is The Pet Gundog Puppy OR The Pet Gundog, followed by The Advanced Pet Gundog.)

While I class myself as a positive trainer, I’m not a permissive trainer; dogs, like children, need boundaries and they need them enforcing.

To have a dog any other way is to either turn him into a nuisance or a dog that’s never let off the lead for fear of him not coming back... and I’m sure you’ll agree that neither is acceptable.
