Gundog School
The Gundog School, the first school of its kind in the world opened in August 2007. Working with the school’s dogs, guests learn how to handle a trained gundog, incorporating obedience, agility and handling.
This unique school, takes its inspiration from Scotland's great sporting heritage, wherein Labradors, spaniels and other breeds have, for many centuries, partnered sportsmen and women in the field.
Gundog Group Lessons 1½ hours £60 per person
Group lessons begin with a lively and informative demonstration, showing the abilities of different breeds of gundogs, followed by the opportunity for each guest to enjoy ‘hands on’ tuition with one of the school’s highly trained Labradors.
For groups wanting a competitive edge, each guest can handle a Labrador in an entertaining ‘gundog scurry’, with the dogs retrieving dummies over jumps against the clock.
Gundog Demonstration 25 minutes approx. From £600
Taking place either at The Gundog School or on the lawns of Gleneagles, the demonstrations feature different breeds of gundogs, showing how they work in the field. The instructors will demonstrate how superbly well-trained the School’s dogs are through a selection of exercises which couple the dogs’ abilities with great discipline. Breeds featured in the demonstration include Labrador retrievers, a German shorthaired pointer and a cocker spaniel. If the demonstration takes place at The Gundog School, it includes some spectacular water retrieves from the Laich Loch.
