Ongoing support for you as the handler

Our Collect & Train programme is ideal for pet gundogs and active breeds that need structured, consistent input to build control and reliability. Your dog trains with us in real-world environments, learning how to manage distraction, stay engaged, and respond consistently.

Reliable recall around scent and distractions
Loose lead walking with improved engagement
Neutrality around dogs, people, and the environment
Impulse control and steadiness for pet gundogs
Building clear, consistent dog-handler communication
This programme is particularly suited to pet gundogs struggling with recall, pulling, over-excitement, or reactivity in outdoor environments.
Living with a dog that pulls on the lead, ignores recall, or becomes over-excited or reactive can feel overwhelming. For pet gundog owners, this is often made harder by strong natural drives like hunting, scenting, and chasing.
Our Collect & Train programme provides structured, daily training designed to channel these instincts into controlled, reliable behaviour. Through real-world outdoor sessions, clear communication, and consistent handling, dogs learn how to stay engaged and make better decisions around distractions.
Owners then receive structured handover sessions and ongoing support to ensure the progress is practical, realistic, and sustainable.
Imagine walking your dog knowing they can stay engaged with you around scent and movement. Imagine recall that works, lead walking that feels controlled, and a dog that can switch off instead of becoming overstimulated.
Through consistent structure, repetition, and professional handling, we build clarity and reliability. You’ll also receive guidance and coaching so you can maintain and continue that progress once your dog returns home.
The goal is simple — a calm, responsive dog that listens, even in high-distraction environments.


We begin with an assessment to understand your dog’s history, behaviour, and how their natural drives are influencing their actions, particularly for pet gundogs.
