Picture this: you're out in the countryside, enjoying a walk with your gundog.

You call their name and whistle, expecting them to rush back to you like they do at home and… nothing. Zero response. They don’t even look up from what they’re doing.

In your garden, their recall is impeccable. But here, surrounded by the intoxicating scents of nature, they become deaf to your calls. They're off hunting and exploring - nose on, ears off.

If this scenario is all too familiar to you, we're here to help. We know that it's a frustrating, sometimes alarming experience, especially when safety becomes a concern.

In our detailed e-book, Recall: The missing link, Helen Phillips and Jules Morgan reveal the ultimate steps to help you teach your gundog a lasting, reliable recall, starting with the ability to focus on you in distracting environments.

Recall: The missing link covers the following:
Part One: The missing link - creating focus in the environment
Part Two: Introduction to recall
Part Three: Practical exercises and real life 'behind the scenes' video demonstrations

At Clicker Gundog, rearing pheasants isn’t just about training. It is also about making the most of a sustainable source of protein. These birds offer an excellent alternative to commercially farmed meats, combining high nutritional value with a low environmental impact.

Pheasant meat is lean, high in protein, and packed with vitamins and minerals. Compared to some mass-produced poultry or processed meats, pheasant offers a healthier and more ethical choice.

Wild or ethically reared pheasants require far fewer resources than factory-farmed livestock, and their diet is naturally sourced from the environment rather than relying on processed feed. For anyone conscious about sustainability, incorporating pheasant into your meals is a simple yet impactful step.

If you’re new to cooking with pheasant, there are plenty of ways to enjoy it. For a straightforward introduction, swap pheasant into any recipe that calls for chicken.
It’s a versatile ingredient that works well in curries, pies, and even stir-fries. If you’re looking for more inspiration BASC’s Eat Game website has a library of yummy recipes.

For gundog handlers attending our shoots, the opportunity to take home freshly shot pheasant is just one more way to appreciate the full cycle of the experience. It’s not just about the training - it’s about recognising the value of the birds and using them to create wholesome, nourishing meals.

Great toys Oh My Springer 🧡

Many dogs have a strong instinct to chase - making recall training fun through chasing can motivate dogs to come back to you faster! 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐄𝐏 𝐁𝐔𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐒𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐔𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐑 with real sheepskin creates a sensory delight that engages your dog’s natural play instinct.

Great Blog 🧡

There are several things that can be done to reduce risks of injury as well as keep our gundogs in great condition, which in turn may help to extend their working life.

Cool down
Cooling down is just as important as warming up. If your dog has been working at speed, try to make sure they don’t suddenly stop moving. Instead, walk for around ten minutes or so when you have finished.

If you’re out shooting for the day and there’s a lot of stop-start action, try to consider how you can maintain gentle movement in between drives, so they don’t stiffen up.

You might want to invest in some drying coats as keeping them dry and warm while resting between sessions, and at the end of a day, will also help to protect your dog’s musculoskeletal structure.

As for stretching, it is also always worth engaging the services of your local veterinary physiotherapist who can show you some appropriate exercises that you can do with your dog as part of a cool down routine.
