NEFRA Gundog Training Day – 27 June 2026
NEFRA will be holding a full-day gundog training event on 27th June 2026 at Burton Salmon, a well-regarded venue that provides excellent ground for practical gundog training.
The day will focus on practical gundog work, covering key skills and techniques suitable for working dogs at different stages of their training. The aim is to give handlers clear, effective training approaches that they can take away and apply in their regular training, whether preparing for the shooting field, working tests, or improving overall control and reliability.
Training will be led by Mr Andy Sweeney and Mr Gary Ellison, both highly experienced and respected gundog trainers. They will deliver instruction throughout the day, sharing their knowledge and experience across a range of areas, including:
- Basic and advanced handling techniques
- Steadiness and control
- Retrieving and delivery
- Use of dummies and training equipment
- Troubleshooting and solving common gundog training problems
The day is designed to be practical, informative, and suitable for a range of abilities. Handlers will have opportunities to observe demonstrations, ask questions, and gain hands-on guidance to support their own training at home.
Further details regarding timings, participant numbers, and booking arrangements will be released shortly.
