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.
