Super dog Lucy and professional guide working on stop whistle and straight lines today. Lucy is very talented and has a super temperament- she’ll be getting more and more experience as she accompanies Matt and his clients on many more adventures. Polishing stop and handling will only improve her performance.

(Take a look at what they do - it’s very cool)

I can’t help but think these dogs that truly work are very lucky… as are we who are fortunate enough to own them.

Very happy for Wilson and Dan.

Dan and his lovely dog have been working consistently to get better. Today we really saw the fruits of their labour when they came to train and we had a near perfect hunting session.

I’d say that they are at a standard many will never achieve with a pet/gundog Spaniel. Wilson is a great dog but the real progress has been with Dan’s handling skills.

They just started training… and kept at it. Outstanding.

Thank you for coming - loved watching your work 🏆

Some retrieve.

A nice Dutch dog marking across varied environments here.

Not easy, especially with the raised pressure of game - and the handler chose to step in… rightly or wrongly.

We’ve played around with trying to step-in and handle less over the latest season… I’m liking the results.

We suggested to these handlers to try to do the same over their time here…it went really well…realising that on many occasions you don’t need the stop, hunt or other noise/encouragement.

And it looks so much nicer…

Takes a bit of courage and I think pushes you to evolve your understanding of the dog and skills as a handler.

Anyone else been looking at this or have thoughts on it?

I’ve experienced this training - absolutely superb. You’ll be fascinated and amazed at what your dog achieves.

Walked-up days - thanks to our clients, guns and the Ampton top team. Hell of a few days…

Seeing the dogs grow using thoughtful measured exposure and confidence building has been superb. That’s what it’s all about… 🙏

It’s always a shame as we love it so much…. but what’s next?

Let’s get those training plans in place 😉💥🏆

The courage of a well trained gundog is remarkable 💥☝️🏆

We do some work with quality guide service when they need some extra dog power for International teams visiting the UK for sport.

Lucy the lab has had a little guidance on the retrieving side but looks like she’s performing like a pro in this photo sent tonight. Great work guys - she’s a natural…

“She was retrieving those geese like a pro even had a diver in the river in strong current that she worked for probably over 10 minutes until she finally got it.” 💥💥💪💪
