About the Workshop

Join Cunningshot Gundogs trainers, Emma Stevens and Adam Peace, for an immersive two-day Gundog training workshop designed for novice-level Spaniels, Retrievers, and HPRs. This event offers a comprehensive training experience focused on advancing skills, problem-solving, and building confidence in both handlers and their dogs.

To ensure a productive and controlled environment, all dogs must be comfortable off-lead (as the grounds are not fully enclosed and rich with scent) and steady to shot. Expect two jam-packed days of hands-on training, expert guidance, and the opportunity to connect with like-minded owners.

Meet the Trainers

Emma and Adam have run Cunningshot Gundogs together for three years, with Emma previously leading the business for six years before that.

🐶 Adam has competed in gundog tests and trials and now works 2-3 dogs regularly on a shoot.
🐶 Emma has also competed in working tests and works 4-7 dogs throughout the shooting season, both picking up and beating from August onwards.

Together, they bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, and practical training methods to help you and your dog reach the next level.

What to Expect

This workshop is tailored to novice-level handlers looking to build confidence in:

A variety of retrieves

Stop whistle and directional control

Steadiness and patience in the field

Problem-solving common training challenges

With plenty of time for discussion, questions, and breaks, this is a great opportunity to develop your dog’s skills while socialising with fellow handlers.

Accommodation & Food

Accommodation and meals can be arranged via the group chat before the event.
