This training is designed to teach your dog to be acclimatised to be in the company of sheep and specifically to ignore, or leave the sheep and give them space when present. We have a flock of sheep specifically available for sheep desensitisation.
This is so you can be confident that your dog will, while out working; will leave any livestock and carry on with their job.
The sessions will be tailored to you and your individual dog, to work towards your dog working past the sheep on their retrieves and hunting in the same field as the sheep.
All gun dogs will be required at some point to enter sheep and livestock pastures, so this is an essential piece of training.
You will receive 6 sessions with one of our trainers.

What People Say About Us
I have a 18 month old vizsla and needed assistance with his hunting. I have attended group sessions previously with Chris, so I booked a 1-2-1 to gain experience and further my knowledge.
Chris first asked what my concerns were and observed my dog in action. Chris then discussed what I wanted from my dog and then showed me what I could achieve. Chris gave clear instructions whilst sharing his knowledge of gundogs and how to work them whilst considering the experience of myself and my dog.
Chris has indepth knowledge of all gundog but had specialist knowledge of HPRs, spaniels and labs. I would recommend Daletoft Gundogs, Chris to anyone starting out in the gundog world or even to experienced handlers that need to iron out any issues or just to tweak their dog.
Denise McPherson
I have been taking gundog training classes with Chris at Daletoft gundogs with my Labradors and got to say I thoroughly enjoy them.
Chris has vast knowledge in gundog training and is able to adapt his training technique to support individual needs.
He helps you to recognise when training your dog how your commands and body language can give the dog the wrong signal. This has taught me that the lessons Chris trains is not always about the dog it's about the handler as well.
I feel Chris has helped me gain more experience when handling my dogs and I value the support he constantly gives.
I would highly recommend Daletoft gundog training to anyone who has working lines, the training benefits them and they enjoy it so much.
Susan Deakin
My Labrador spent several months with Chris.
When she arrived with Chris, she only had the most basic training.
When she returned to me several months later, she was not only trained to sit and heel, but also retrieve with the necessary commands.
I have taken her shooting on the peg several times this season and she has performed really well.
