About the Gundog Training Day

Join us for a gundog training day at Fedw Equestrian Centre, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Epynt Mountains near Sennybridge. This venue offers a mix of paddocks, open fields, and thick rush covers, making it the perfect location for developing key working skills in realistic shooting scenarios.

This structured yet flexible training day is designed for novice retrievers aged 8 months and older, focusing on essential foundations, advanced exercises, and game season readiness. Whether you’re looking to fine-tune retrieving, improve steadiness, or build confidence in multiple dummy drops, this event will allow both handlers and dogs to progress at their own pace.

Each dog and handler will be assessed throughout the day, with training tailored to individual needs, ensuring a rewarding and productive experience in a stunning countryside setting. For more information about the trainer please email info@thecountrygirlsuk.com
