I fully recommend walked-up days for young/inexperienced dogs (and their handlers!) with Kugae gundogs (5stars). I wanted a ‘no pressure’ day where I could get advice, gain experience and confidence working my first gun dog (16 months) in the field. Karen and Carl met my every need and more. The day was extremely well organised from the start. Karen provided clear and concise instructions and directions ahead of day. It was obvious before we started the day that Carl is very experienced. Carl asked what I wanted out of the day and made sure he understood why – this was really useful. He provided help, advice and encouragement throughout the day. Carl is a straight-talker and gave me his constructive feedback regularly throughout the day. This helped me to course-correct as I went on. Carl clearly wanted my dog and I to succeed during and after the day. The land we covered varied from stubble fields, cover crops and woodland – all great experience for the dog and I. The hospitality was first class throughout the day (top notch ploughman’s lunch).
I Highly recommend this company and will be back for more!
Thank you Carl and Karen
