Discover the Joy of a Fully Trained Labrador from Breckland Gundog Training



Imagine welcoming a beautifully behaved, responsive, and well-mannered Labrador into your home – a dog that seamlessly fits into your busy lifestyle from day one. At Breckland Gundog Training, based in Ashill, Norfolk, we specialise in sourcing and expertly preparing exceptional working Labradors. These dogs are not only skilled in their natural abilities but are also perfectly suited as well-adjusted, loving companions for discerning pet homes across the South of England, with a particular focus on clients in London's affluent areas.

For individuals and families with demanding schedules, the significant time and expertise required to raise and train a puppy from scratch can be a barrier to dog ownership. We offer the ideal solution: fully trained Labradors that remove the stress and uncertainty of early training. This allows you to immediately enjoy the rewarding companionship of a well-behaved dog, whose reliability is established through our professional guidance.

What Does "Fully Trained" Mean for Your Pet Labrador?

Our "fully trained" Labradors for pet homes have undergone a comprehensive and tailored training programme designed to ensure they are a pleasure to live with and a joy to take anywhere. The training is specifically geared towards what you, the client, want from your dog. Key skills include:

  • Excellent Manners: Polite indoors and out, well-behaved around people and other dogs (as per socialisation).
  • Lead Work: Walking calmly to heel, both on and off the lead, in various environments.
  • Reliable Recall: Coming back promptly when called, a cornerstone of safety and off-lead freedom.
  • House Trained: Understanding and adhering to household rules.
  • Crate Trained: Comfortable and settled in a crate, useful for travel and quiet time.
  • Steadiness: While primarily for pet homes, their gundog foundation means they can be trained for steadiness to various types of game if desired.
Our Labradors: Quality, Temperament, and Health

We work with all colours of Labrador Retrievers – black, yellow, and chocolate. Our focus is on working lines, known for their intelligence, trainability, and biddable natures, making them adaptable and suitable for active pet homes.

  • Sourcing: We have access to many different excellent breeding lines and reputable breeders. We also sometimes have dogs available from our own litters or litters sired by our stud dogs.
  • Temperament First: The most crucial aspect is matching the dog's temperament to your specific requirements and lifestyle. We take the time to understand your needs to ensure a harmonious partnership.
  • Health & Pedigree: All Labradors we train are Kennel Club (KC) registered. The parents of all puppies entering our training programme have undergone relevant health tests. Further health testing for the specific puppy being trained can be arranged at the client's expense.
  • Socialisation: Our dogs are socialised with a wide range of sights, sounds, and experiences, depending on the final requirements and environment of their new home.
Our Tailored Training Approach

At Breckland Gundog Training, we believe there's no "one size fits all" approach to dog training.

  • Personalised Programmes: We use a wide variety of proven training methods, always dependent on the individual dog's personality, learning style, and your specific goals.
  • Early Foundations: Informal training and socialisation begin from as young as 8 weeks, with more specific, structured training typically commencing between 4-6 months of age.
  • Client-Focused: The training is ultimately geared towards what you, the client, want from your dog, ensuring they are prepared for your unique home environment and lifestyle.
The Breckland Difference: Experience, Understanding, and Support

Choosing a fully trained Labrador is a significant decision, and we are committed to making it a successful and rewarding experience.

  • We Listen: Our priority is to understand your needs and expectations thoroughly. We find the right dog for you.

  • Years of Expertise: We bring years of experience in both general pet obedience and specialised gundog training, having successfully supplied dogs to many discerning clients.

  • Ideal for Busy Lifestyles: Our service is perfectly suited for those who desire the companionship of a well-trained dog but lack the time or experience to undertake the intensive training process themselves. We provide a dog whose reliability carries through to you.

  • Seamless Handover: We provide comprehensive handover sessions to ensure you understand your new dog's training and how to maintain it.

  • Ongoing Support: We offer continuation sessions if needed, and even "holiday training top-ups" to keep your dog's skills sharp while you are away.
