Your complete guide to gundog training, gear and field skills
Welcome to the gundogs section of ShootingUK, where we celebrate gundog training, gundog breeds and those four-legged shooting companions who are better behaved than their humans. From gundog puppy training basics to advanced gundog handling techniques, we cover everything working dog owners need.
Our gundog content spans labrador training, spaniel training, and retriever training, plus advice on gundog working tests and gundog field trials. Discover gundog breed guides, gundog equipment reviews, and practical tips on gundog obedience that might actually work.
Whether you’re navigating gundog puppy chaos, perfecting gundog whistle commands, or wondering why your gundog training plan looked brilliant on paper, we’re here to help. From choosing gundog breeds to gundog health advice and those bittersweet moments when you say goodbye to an old friend, our gundog features come from handlers who know that the best shooting days are the ones spent with a good dog at your side.
