Retriever Group Training
WGDS Retriever Section
“Repetition builds success, and consistency speeds it up.”
Our Club was initially founded back in 1991 by a group of
like-minded gun dog owners who enjoyed working and training gun dogs , and they felt that they wanted to give something back to the sport
they all loved to inspire and encourage young or novice handlers
who, after all, are the future of our sport.
Members of all ages, genders, ethnicities, and levels of experience are welcome with an aim to train successfully and promote the good health and welfare of all working gun dogs.
Most importantly, the Club offers a warm welcome, camaraderie,
enjoyment and fun; don't be afraid to join in, we don't bite!
The club welcomes enquiries from anyone with any breed of
working gun dog who wishes to learn more about the training and handling of their dog. Whether it be for field sports or competition,
we will endeavour to help you.
We hope you enjoy visiting our website
and hope we can entice you to pop along to one of our
forthcoming training days.
The club caters for the following working retriever breeds:
Labrador Retrievers
Flat Coated Retrievers
Golden Retrievers
Curly Coated Retrievers
Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers
