HI thank you for all your replies! I will have a look in to the links and info you have all given. I am based down in Maidenhead but would be willing to travel if it was some good training available. I may not work him at the end of it but I think he is such a birght intelligent dog that he needs the stimulus and I think it would be shame not to use him to his full potential. I have had a mixture of Labs and Terriors for years but have hankered after a GSP for many years and finally have one, he has not dissapointed but yes he has got ooodles of energy!

Gundog training for him will be excellent, cos at least you will understand what the dog is trying to do, and what you need to do to control and work his instints.
i must say though that once you start it is real addictive, and you don't need to be shooter to work him, there are plenty of other ways such as beating and counting, test and trials... plus training days on the moors will all reward your efforts.
