looking for a gundog trainer kent area

[cabbiejack 37]

hi , does anyone know of any good gundog trainers in the kent area ??? i have put a deposit on a springer pup and want to go gundog classes .. will it cost alot ? or do you think it will be better to purchase some books and dvd on how to train instead of going to classes thanks

Tony Price of tawnyhill gundogs is in kent, have a look at his web site. DVDs are good for a beginer as you can see what the trainer is doing other than trying to picture it in your head from a book. Ian openshaw does some good dvd and the Buccleuch Gundogs, springer spaniel training series are good. These are in stock at uttings.co.uk. Hope this helps and the best of luck with your pup!!

Breezeleaf Spaniels near Tonbridge could be worth a look. Good reputation.

 

If you're interested in joining a club then there's Bakadam Gundog Club that meet weakly at Keston during the winter and in various fields near Sevenoaks during the summer. £6 for 2 hour group class. Bakadam could be good for you if you're getting your dog soon as winter training is done in a village hall so is secure, confined and no scent to hunt.

Or give this guy a go, I think he lives in Bexley Heath too.
