“Dear Christine - Delighted to report a very good first day out with Jessie. She made a nice team with my old dog, Piper and they hunted and picked well together. She went out to pick-up at very reasonable distances, she marked and did what was asked - apart from one small disappearing act at the end of one of the drives after a strong flying pheasant which did not need retrieving! A great start to the season - thank you for all your help.”

— Suzie, Stourhead

“Having owned Labradors for most of our life we could not understand why our current puppy was so different. Christine helped us to understand the dog and his requirements. We are a much happier family now.”

— Alison, Paulton

“Not every retriever breed takes naturally to retrieving items. We still need to teach the dog what we would like him to do. Owning a reluctant retriever at first was a little disappointing. Having trained with Christine we now share our home with a very enthusiastic Labrador that will retrieve dummies, tennis balls or even gloves.”

— James, Bath

“A huge thank you for everything you have done for us. Today I managed to have Ronnie on the peg with me. I let him pick up my shot birds every other drive. He picked runners no problem at all. Couldn’t have done it without you.”

— Pete, Leigh-upon-Mendip

“Taking on a rescue dog is not an easy task. We did not know the dogs past so had to adjust his training and carefully change his behaviour. Christine with her experience could see which approach was needed to turn things round.”

— Maureen, Midsomer Norton

“Owning a gundog breed for the first time meant a steep learning curve for us. Thanks to Christine’s understanding what kind of exercise and training a pet gundog needs, we now own a happy, well behaved companion.”

— Lucy, Holcombe
