Hartmoor Gundogs - Training & Behaviour

Absolutely brilliant session today. Chris was so informative, and gave me some fantastic training methods to work on to get my dog to be a highly trained dog. He made me feel at ease and I came away feeling excited about the training he taught me. He was great with Woody. Woody responded straight away to him. Chis is experienced with vizsla’s and that reassured me initially before I even booked a session. The session was more than I expected, thank you! Already booked for the next session.

Professional trainer.My puppies love their time at training class and have learnt lots.Always go away with lots of training tips to work with.

Had some training with my dog erik, chris explained everything clearly what I needed to know and do to help with erik really good advice .Chris took his time with me and erik thank you so much for all your advice .Brenda.

We had a very bumpy start with an unscrupulous dog trainer. We later found out that we weren't alone and after reaching out to other Vizsla owners for support, we found Chris.Sometimes you have to get things wrong to get them right and this was a wrong we greatly benefitted from because not only were we saved from the sharp side of one trainers critical, judgemental tongue, but we were welcomed with open arms and a positive approach to everything with Chris.Training at Hartmoor Gundogs is not just an enjoyable learning curve for our pup, it's something we look forward to each time. The positive reinforcement and encouraging approach makes us want to get it right for our dog.Chris is patient, supportive, incredibly knowledgeable, warm, funny, a great listener, good at problem solving (though nothing is viewed as a problem) and incredibly enthusiastic about dogs.He doesn't push us and is aware of things like the dogs learning capacity at a specific age, so is encouraging and creating a route for future aims and goals if he thinks these can't be met now.He welcomed all of our family and is very responsive to a full family approach to training.Our family (kids and all) would really recommend Chris at Hartmoor Gundogs. I cannot imagine a scenario where you wouldn't feel supported, encouraged and enthused by his approach. He is such a lovely guy, with a very positive, kind approach which rewards both the dog and owner.We love our training sessions with our pup and are looking forward to watching her develop with Chris's expert advice and guidance.We couldn't think of anyone else we'd rather learn with or trust with our puppy.
