6-Week Puppy & Beginner Gundog Training Program Set your young gundog up for lifelong success with this reward-based, science-led puppy and beginner gundog course — perfect for gundog breeds under 8 months old. Whether you’re raising a lively pet gundog or planning for future working tests, this structured program helps you and your dog build calmness, focus, and confidence from the very beginning. Your enrolment also includes access to Dogitivity’s Online Gundog Course, giving you step-by-step videos, training plans, and homework support between sessions — all included in the price. ✅ What You and Your Gundog Puppy Will Learn • Reward-based training strategies: Learn how to motivate your puppy effectively using positive reinforcement. • Teamwork and communication: Strengthen your bond and build consistent responses through clear, calm guidance. • Loose lead walking: Teach your dog to walk politely beside you, both on lead and on a long line. • Whistle training and recall games: Develop fast, enthusiastic recalls using whistle cues — essential for gundog control in the field or park. • Retrieve foundations: Build a reliable, clicker-based retrieve chain using dummies and treat rewards. • Sit and stay for steadiness: Teach your puppy to pause calmly before action — a key gundog skill for focus and self-control. • Self-management and settling: Help your dog stay relaxed in stimulating environments. • Clicker and marker skills: Improve your timing, shaping, and reinforcement for precise learning. • Engagement and focus: Encourage your puppy to look to you first, even around distractions. • Socialisation and confidence: Introduce your puppy safely to people, dogs, and new environments through structured experiences. 🌿 Why Join This Course This small-group gundog puppy program blends hands-on training with guided online learning, giving you consistent support and clear progress week by week. You’ll not only learn essential gundog foundation skills — such as heelwork, whistle recall, and steadiness — but also gain practical everyday behaviours that make life with your dog easier and more enjoyable. At Dogitivity, our goal is to help you raise a calm, confident, and well-mannered gundog through kind, effective, and scientifically grounded training. ⸻ 📅 Spaces Are Limited Join today to secure your place in this 6-week gundog puppy training program with online support included.
