Do you own a Gunfield Vizsla? would you like some help with training? kate and Andrew have pooled their skills to provide tailored training for your Vizsla.

Kate is a qualified Canine Psychologist and and is undergoing further study in dog training to diploma level.

Andrew has years of practical experiance training the "Gunfield Vizslas" to work with the gun.

We can offer residential training to Vizslas wishing to start their basic gundog training we can train your dog to do the basics such as lead work,heel work, sit and stay. We can also train your dog to work to the gun, including retrieving dummies and game.

Due to our very busy schedule during shooting season we can only take dogs for training during the summer months and as we only take one dog at a time we have limited places to those who own Gunfield bred Vizsla

RIVERSIDE STUD TRAINING

I HAVE BEEN TRAINING MY DOGS FOR NUMEROUS YEARS AND BEFORE I HAD POINTERS I HAD GSD'S THAT WE DID OBEDIENCE AND AGILITY DISPLAYS AROUND THE COUNTRY, WHICH HAS GIVEN ME THE THE KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY TO TRAIN DOGS TO A HIGH LEVEL OF OBEDIENCE.

WE WILL BE ABLE TO TEACH YOUR DOG TO WALK TO HEEL ON AND OFF A LEAD, (WITHOUT PULLING ANY ARMS OUT OF THEIR SOCKETS) BOTH SIT AND DOWN STAY FOR 10 MINUTES PLUS, AND TEACH YOUR DOG TO SIT ON A WHISTLE, BOTH CLOSE AND AT A DISTANCE, COME BACK TO A WHISTLE AND TO STOP ON A WHISTLE. WE CAN ALSO OFFER TRAINING TO THE GUN, RETRIEVAL OF DUMMIES, DUMMY LAUNCHER AND GAME.

THIS TYPE OF TRAINING IS THE BASIC'S THAT ALL GUNDOGS SHOULD HAVE (THE GUN AND DUMMY WORK IS NOT ESSENTIAL FOR A PET, BUT THEY LOVE DOING WHAT COMES NATURALLY AND EVEN PET HOMES SHOULD INVEST IN A �5 DUMMY!) IF YOU ARE WANTING DOGS TRAINED TO FIELD TRIAL STANDARD I CAN SUGGEST RORY MAJOR, AS HE FINISHED OFF THE TRAINING OF DIPPER (ANDSAL BEST MATE) AND THEN HE WENT ON TO WIN A FIELD TRIAL AT HIS SECOND ATTEMPT.

IF YOUR DOG HAVE A SPECIFIC PROBLEM WE WILL TRY TO FIND OUT THE CAUSE AND THEN RE-TRAIN YOUR DOG SO HOPEFULLY HE/SHE GOES HOME PROBLEM FREE! MOST PROBLEMS CAN BE RECTIFIED, BUT I MUST STRESS THAT WE WILL NOT TAKE ON DOGS THAT HAVE BIG AGGRESSION PROBLEMS (I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP ALL MY FINGERS IN TACT) IF YOU HAVE A DOG THAT HIS BITTEN SOMEONE OUT OF AGGRESSION OR FEAR AND HAS CAUSED DAMAGE SUCH AS A WOUND NEEDING STITCHES ETC.. THEN I WOULD SERIOUSLY ASK YOU TO CONSIDER HAVING YOUR DOG PUT TO SLEEP. HOWEVER.... MOUTHING, WHICH IS COMMON IN GUNDOGS IS ANOTHER MATTER, WE CAN ALSO CURE GROWLING IN MOST CASES, BUT I WOULD ASK YOU TO BE HONEST WITH ME BEFORE THE DOG ARRIVES TO THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM

I GET ASKED "HOW LONG WILL YOU HAVE MY DOG FOR" WELL THAT REALLY DOES DEPEND ON WHAT LEVEL OF TRAINING YOU WANT YOUR DOG TO REACH, AND ALSO IF THERE IS A SPECIFIC PROBLEM, THAT MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE LONGER TO IRON OUT. SO THE ANSWER IS - IT DEPENDS ON YOU AND IT WILL ALSO DEPEND ON THE AGE OF THE DOG, AS DOGS OVER A YEAR OLD HAVE A BIGGER CONCENTRATION SPAN THAN SAY A PUPPY OF 6 MONTHS

WE OFFER TRAINING TO ANY BREED OF GUNDOG, AND WE MAY CONSIDER OTHER BREEDS BUT NOT THOSE ON THE LIST OF DANGEROUS DOGS.

DOGS WILL NEED TO BE UP TO DATE WITH THEIR VACCINATIONS AND THE CARD WILL NEED TO BE BROUGHT WHEN YOUR DOG ARRIVES.

A SMALL CONTRACT WILL NEED TO BE SIGNED (I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO EMAIL YOU A COPY BEFORE YOU ARRIVE) IT JUST COVERS VETS BILLS, TERMS, ETC

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME ON 07885 362386 OR EMAIL SALLY@RIVERSIDE-STUD.CO.UK

Not only do I train gundogs but also do domestic pet dogs for general obedience work.

I take individual lessons but involve my dogs as well to act as distractions. This works extremely well as the dogs learn to work along side other dogs and not think its play time. I also do residential training where the dog comes in and stays in our kennels and has intensive training over several weeks. Again this proves to be popular especially for those that are too busy to start that initial training. I can get this started and then continue with individual lessons once I have got the basics in.
