Residential training Aberdeenshire

Post by LucyLab »

As the title says, does anyone know of a decent trainer in Aberdeenshire who offers residential training? I've got a client who is out of his depth with his cocker pup (8ish months?) and desperate for someone to do the training for him. I would love to get my hands on the little guy, as the last time I saw him he had potential stamped all over him! Unfortunately I don't yet have kennels built, so unable to take extra dogs just now.

The pup comes with some built in issues - he was taken rabbit shooting at just 16weeks... :brickwall: help is most definitely needed!!

Pup will be for rough shooting, definitely no tests/trials as not KC reg.

Thanks,
Lucy

From a man that knows, Lockerbie ain't in Aberdeenshire ;)

As an aside, contact Druimmuir Spaniels.

It's about as south as you can get in Scotland, but I know what you mean :P

Thanks for the suggestions....even the Lockerbie one :lol: I'll keep note of it if nothing more local turns up.

I'm sorry, I should've said in my original post that I already asked Druimmuir a while ago and she unfortunately, but understandably can't take him.

Is there really nobody doing residential training in Aberdeenshire anymore? :?

Why does it have to be local for residential training, if the dogs going to be there for a number of weeks surely it's worth going to your trianer of choice?

Very true WGD, and something I have already said to the owner - but he is set on the idea of local!

Edited to add - Although he is getting a tad desperate now! :roll:
