Gundog 4+

This is a good quality resource for anyone wanting to make progress with their Gundog. We have had a trainer in the past costing over £30 for a 25min session, so this is good value and always on hand. Also their is good support from the guys behind the app should you have particular queries or issues with your training. Also invites to regular online webinars where a lot of areas are discussed further.

I would like to see additions to the app going forward, such as perhaps laid out training programmes for the total layman as to what you should be mastering first before moving on to another area with your dog. As well as perhaps ratings for exercises from beginner to advanced depending on where you are with your dogs progress. As I find the app layout a little odd and I sometimes struggle to know which video I should be working on.

Overall a great app and one I hope will advance both mine and my dogs training.

This app is just as useful for training pet dogs as working gundogs.
The progression from basic training to more complex is very user friendly. It encourages you to progress at your own dogs’ pace. You also get a strong sense of achievement when you succeed which however complex your dog’s nature is, is attainable through the training videos which take you through each stage of a skill you want to teach the dog. The monthly webinar meetings are very informative as not only can you ask about a problem you may be having, you also learn from other people and their mistakes. It’s also nice in this time of limited socialising to meet people, albeit on camera, with similar interests. I have definitely benefited from using this app but more importantly so has my now 11 month old labrador pup and 5 year old dog. I have used it since I got the pup at eight weeks of age. Kay Gunn

We have a WCS pup that we have been training using the App since we took her home aged 8/9 weeks. My wife and I have never trained a dog before, let alone a Gundog and have been guided step-by-step via this app. She is now 7 months old and reaping the benefits of what we have all learned from the app and the BG Basics programme. Living in London and walking our puppy in parks next to busy roads we have learnt essential skills, especially the STOP whistle which we use in practical situations on a daily basis. Not only do we have a dog that listens to us, we have a dog that numerous people comment on and are shocked at how well trained she is. Highly recommended for both a home and working dog, whether in the country or city. Thank you!
