Gundog Training Isn’t Just for Gundogs 🐾

When people hear “gundog training”, they often assume it’s only for spaniels, Labradors and working dogs. The truth is, many of the skills we teach can benefit dogs of all breeds and ages.

Recall, focus, steadiness, engagement and retrieving are useful life skills for any dog, regardless of what they were originally bred to do.

Kali the German Shepherd is a perfect example. While she might not be a traditional gundog breed, she absolutely loves the variety, mental stimulation and challenges that gundog training provides. Training gives her an outlet for her brain, builds her confidence and strengthens the bond with her owner.

At Dixie Tricks, we believe training should be enjoyable and accessible for everyone. Whether you have a spaniel, a shepherd, a terrier or anything in between, there may be more crossover than you think.

📩 If you’ve ever been curious about gundog training but weren’t sure if it was right for your dog, get in touch. We’d love to help you find out.

Summer is a brilliant time to get out and enjoy training with your gundog. Longer evenings, lighter mornings and more opportunities to explore different environments all make for great learning experiences.

Whilst it might not be shooting season, working on retrieves, steadiness, recall, or simply building engagement can make a huge difference.

For gundogs especially, training isn’t just about obedience; it’s about giving them an outlet for their instincts in a positive, controlled way. A dog that gets to use its brain is often a much happier dog at home, too! 💛

Remember to keep sessions short in the warmer weather, bring plenty of water, and always end on a win.

📩 If you’d like to get involved with gundog training this summer, get in touch with Dixie Tricks to see how we can help you and your dog.

🐾🦆 Gundog Beginners Workshop 🦆🐾

Always fancied giving gundog training a go, but not sure where to start?

Maybe your dog isn’t a traditional gundog breed but you’d still love to try something new together. Or perhaps you’ve done a little bit before and want a refresher before jumping back into regular classes.

Our Gundog Beginners Workshop is the perfect place to start. Over 2 hours, we’ll cover some of the first skills we introduce in our gundog sessions, including hunting, retrieving, steadiness and recall — all while keeping things fun, relaxed and supportive. 💛

All you need to bring is:
🐾 Flat collar or harness
🐾 Longline if needed
🐾 Treats
🐾 Whistle if you use one
🐾 Your dog’s favourite retrieve toy if they have one

Plus, you’ll even head home with a little goody bag. 🎁

🎟️ Book at https://dixietricks.cademy.io/gundog-beginners-workshop

Spaces are limited and tend to fill quickly, so if you’d like to join us, please get your place booked ASAP.

Use What Your Dog Loves 🐶

One of the best training tools you have is knowing what your dog enjoys most. For some dogs, it’s food, for others it’s a tennis ball, a game of tug or simply lots of praise.

Training becomes so much more enjoyable when we work with what motivates our dog, rather than expecting every dog to learn in the same way.

Happy dogs learn better, and training should feel fun for both ends of the leash. 💛

📩 Want help discovering what motivates your dog best? Get in touch with Dixie Tricks or book a session via https://dixietricks.cademy.io/

Laura is the face behind Dixie Tricks , and the one you’ll usually find out in the field, covered in mud, with a whistle in hand and a dog (or three!) not far behind.

Her love for dogs has always been there, but it was when Dixie, her liver and white springer spaniel, came along that things really took off. Wanting to channel Dixie’s energy and instincts led Laura further into training, and from there, Dixie Tricks was born.

With a particular soft spot for gundogs, Laura loves helping dogs and owners build strong, positive relationships through fun, practical training that works in real life.

Whether you’re starting out with a puppy or looking to take your training further, Laura is always there to guide, support and celebrate the journey with you. 💛

Some days your dog will listen beautifully. Other days… not so much.

That’s completely normal. Dog training isn’t a straight line, and progress comes with ups and downs.

Be patient, keep things positive and remember, you’re both learning.

At Dixie Tricks, working with dogs isn’t something we just do… it’s something we genuinely love.

Every wagging tail, every little breakthrough, every moment of connection between dog and owner, that’s what makes it all worth it.

It’s not just about training sessions. It’s about helping dogs feel understood, helping owners feel confident, and watching those relationships grow stronger over time.

We care about every dog that comes through the gate, and that’s what makes Dixie Tricks what it is. 💛
