About Us
At Canine
Solutions we aim to lead the way in modern gundog training.
Our ethos centres around having fun with your dog, whilst at the
same time learning to harness his/her natural ability using
kind, highly effective methods.
Our aim is simple
- to bring fun to gundog training.
Canine Solutions
was founded by two of the areas leading dog training
organisations – Canine Education and Four Paw Solutions.
Between us we have extensive experience of teaching people how
to train their dogs using reward-based, motivational methods.
We also all own and work our own gundogs to a very high
standard, but our experience of the gundog world to date has
been at best disappointing, and at worst distressing.
For too long
gundog training has been synonymous with harsh, punishment based
training which relies on creating an element of fear in the dog.
We want to challenge this because we know that if you understand
dogs and how they learn, you don’t need to drag them around, hit
them, kick them or electrocute them (yes, we have seen it all
first hand) in the name of ‘training’. We feel very
strongly that you don’t need to intimidate your dog in order to
train him/her reliably. This doesn’t mean we are a
pushover (just ask our dogs!), but we are kind and fair and we
are pleased to say that our dogs love their work as much as we
do.
Our training aims
to be enjoyable for both you and for your canine companion,
building a working relationship based on trust and
understanding. We are not interested in competitions or
trials, instead our aim is to help you train and enjoy your
gundog, be this as a top class working dog in the field, or a
pet dog who just wants do a bit more.
Our team consists of like minded and very experienced dog
trainers (you can read more about us on the "our trainers"
page). We all own and work our own gundogs, but for enjoyment
not for competition. We are all members of the Association
of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) and as such only use kind, fair and
effective training methods.
"I am just writing to thank you and
say what a refreshing change your club is. Sasha wishes we
found you years ago!"
