Having been Field Trialing now for 4 years and noticing areas of that my dogs could improve I approached Geoff for his assessment of where we were at and how we could move forward. Not surprisingly the dogs were great it me that needed the training !
He has a wealth of knowledge and experience that he articulates well and makes it appropriate for you and your dogs situation.
He has the knack of being reactive to established problem areas between dog and handler but also proactive to be able to identify issues that could be problematic in the future and how to eradicate this possibility.
If your serious about your gundog training and in the area to make the most of his facilities I would certainly recommend him.

I've been trailing seriously for the last 2 years
It is hard to found someone who's got the knowledge and experience to share.
It's not about just taking your money each session.
You come away, thinking you have learned something that can be addressed on your own.
Had two 1st All aged and a 3 rd in Open
Bring on this year
Thanks again Geoff

Word of mouth took me to Geoff as well. I would just say "he's brilliant". Honest and patient - telling you how it is. It was down to Geoff's guidance and the opportunities we were given that Tulli was able to win an Open Field Trial last season, which was more than I could have hoped for.
I loved learning how to train my two GSPs but being new to the breed I didn’t really understand their needs and was getting conflicting advice which was confusing for me and my dogs.
Geoff was recommended, by a respected HPR judge, to be the man to help me.
Through training with Geoff I have been able to achieve more than I ever thought possible including several field trial awards in my first season. I have had/and still have a lot to learn about all the elements of field craft and gundog work. Geoff has a wealth of knowledge, experience and a genuine interest in helping you and your dog to achieve your goals. His honest straightforward approach has helped me get the best out of both my dogs which I have to say have totally different needs!
Thanks Geoff, we couldn’t have done this without your help 🙂

I came to know about Geoff through word of mouth and had heard that there wasn't really anything as a dog trainer he couldn't solve!
I had developed should we say, a 'few problems', not only with my bitch but as a handler (myself being, a lot of the time, the cause of my problems!)
I have now been going to Geoff for approx. 2 years and as a result, I have had consistent Field Trial awards with my GSP, Ziva.
I recommend Geoff to people I know/come across that are needing the sort of guidance they do not seem to be getting elsewhere, he has a way about him that mentors you, making you a better handler which in turn, makes a better relationship for you and your dog.
