Super proud of Beth for completing the gruelling 18 month training course that is “The accredited Pet Gundog” training program.
She undertook this course along with Seven the spaniel to improve her handling, broaden her knowledge and boost her canine confidence. After completing the 3 residential workshops and every monthly written assignment on time 🤯 she has definitely achieved what she set out to do, congratulations and very well done 👏👏😁🐾

Massive congratulations to Beth Carter, Kat Pugh, Lottie Lee-Paskin and Ruth Fudge on achieving their Accredited Pet Gundog Instructor status 👊🏻🎉👏🏻

This programme is not for the faint-hearted as it's been a gruelling 18-months of dog training, written work, and teaching.

When you say yes to this, you have to say no to so many other things, but when you get to the end and receive your certificate... well, not only is it awesome, but it's the beginning of the next chapter.

On Tuesday we had to say a very sad goodbye to Echo. Echo was an incredible, incredible dog and I struggle to remember a single moment when she she was anything but perfect. Ben’s one In a million dog. Let’s just hope she managed to give little Inch a few pointers before she had to leave 💔

Great day at the Hound Club of East Anglia Premier Open Show. Rosettes for all! 2nds for the girls and Figaro placed 1st and then reserve best of breed! All showed brilliantly especially pleased with little Fig as she decided not to do her slug impression this time 😁

Ben had a great time last weekend attending the L*z Graham behavioural masterclass. Learning how to conduct canine behavioural consultations and the report writing thereafter. Always learning, always improving 😁

Practical skill matters - of course it does. But good instructors also need judgement, thought, and the ability to make sense of what is in front of them.

Applications for the 2026 APGI programme opened on 1st April. Come and have a look if you want to deepen not just what you do, but how you think.
