With the exception of Finn, all dogs joined as Puppies.
We chose them and if we made the wrong choice in terms of competition, we work to make them the best they can be and find a job that suits their skills.

Once we have a solid sit/stay, we can then add distractions. Charlie joined our Tuesday Level 1 Foundation Class to practice Sit/Stay, Recall and Moving Close and under Control around Dogs.
Charlie learns everything on his own and when wer’e happy he fully understands, we ask him to do the same behaviour around dogs and distractions.
Alongside these Foundations, Charlie is developing his hunting and retrieving skills, with a focus on hunting as this is what be needs to be happy in the home and Impress in the field.

Volucris can display the IMDT logo.
To some it may not mean anything but to others it demonstrates that Mark has undertaken extensive training and passed the IMDT assessment process which at the time included:

- 30 minute oral assessment
- Delivering a 20 minute Group Class
- Conducting a Puppy 1 to 1
- Conducting a Behaviour 1 to 1

We have invested a considerable amount of time to improve our knowledge and training which extends beyond the classroom as we train, work and compete our own dogs.

We compete, even when we know our dog may not be of a winning standard. Why you may ask? Competing enables us to understand what’s required for our clients and everyday we learn something new that will be of help to someone.

How can a Trainer that doesn’t compete advise clients properly on Working Tests or Field Trials?
On competing, if we think you and your dog have realistic Trialing prospects we will sign post you to Trainers that focus on developing dogs and Handlers for this.

Where do we fit in the training market?
We specialise in Pet and Working Gundog Training, helping clients to have a happy Gundog in the home or a dog to be proud of in the field.

From Puppy Foundations to Advanced Handling Skills, we have the knowledge, experience and training skills to help.

- 2 Trainers in most classes
- Extensive and varied Training Grounds
- A comprehensive range of training equipment

Sim Shoot Sunday
Remote Launchers, Shot and Cold Game Retrieves for 8 of our Members today.

Foundation to Field Gundog Training delivered at extensive training grounds in Nottinghamshire.

Don’t forget our lead Trainer is approved by the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers, has Behaviour Qualifications and has also gained Awards in Working Tests and Field Trials.
We only mention the latter as it demonstrates we have an understanding of working and what’s required to compete.

Check out our Facebook Reviews from Pet and Working Gundog Handlers and visit www.volucris.co.uk to find out more.

Today, 8 Members enjoyed a Training session delivered by two Trainers and an Assistant.

Virtually all our sessions have a Trainer and an Assistant Trainer, enabling us to provide differentiated learning and breed specific training.

Sim Shoot Sunday (Member Only Event)
Today we’re running another Simulated Shoot Workshop.

Remote Launchers, Shot and Cold Game Retrieves alongside our Beating and Picking Up Exercises will give handlers a taste of working on a shoot.

This is a training workshop where handlers will be guided through a typical shoot day.
We have an extensive Workshop Programme for Members, all of which are inclusive of refreshments.

Volucris Pet and Working Gundog Training is Often Copied but Never Duplicated, and with Workshops, Courses, Training Days, Drop In Classes and 1 to 1’s, we’ve got you covered.

Here we have Finn walking close and under control by my side.
You won’t find our Spaniels in a Retriever Line, you will find them moving around our training ground close and under control.
If you have a Retriever, you will learn the correct heel position and work accordingly.
