Well where do I begin?? Steve is fabulous!!

from starting with my 2 year old cocker (who would not listen at all), I made the decision to take him to Steve and WOW! All I can say is "I wish I done this sooner"!! Steve has so much knowledge and skills and a really amazing technique of teaching you how to get the very best out of your relationship with your fury companionšŸ¾ Not only has Steve helped Rolo, he has given me so much more confidence. Rolo is a different dog and now much more engaged with me and a whole lot calmer and his recall is spot on! Friends and Family have noticed such a positive difference in RološŸ„° I can't recommend Steve enough to anyone. So thanks a million!! Here's to much more enjoyable walks and learning each day šŸ„°

Straight Talking, no BS

Have been taking my Lab to Steve for close to 2 years, from a pup. Steve is straight talking, clear with instruction, and easy to talk to if I have any problems with Bert or my training. Thoroughly recommended

You donā€™t need to go anywhere elseā€¦.

I have been coming to Breckland Gundog Training for nearly two years after previously using a different (recommended) Gundog trainer. I switched to Steve and Mel at Breckland Gundog training as I found the previous trainer somewhat disinterested in both the needs of myself as a handler and my dog. The methods at Breckland Gundog training have been simple to implement and see through without over complicated steps thrown in. The individual needs of dog and handler are met and the support from Steve allows us to work at our pace to get the best from us as a pair. I no longer have to carry around a pocket full of food to bribe my dog with and using only calm positive praise as reward the improvements have been brilliant. Iā€™m looking forward to the day we see the results in the shooting field. I wish we had started with Breckland Gundog Training from the off!

A top class gun dog trainer!

We first came across Steve when we were looking for a trainer to teach us and our first dog some general obedience. We got on well and after seeing the results of his training methods I asked Steve to find me a black lab with a nice thick head I could train to take shooting! Steve supplied me with a fantastic pup we named Jack. He then followed this up with teaching me and Jack all the skills and training methods we needed to turn him into a solid gun dog. We used both a mixture of 121ā€™s and the group training sessions which I found extremely helpful to get us to where we are today! Jack will shortly turn 2 and has just had his first 4 successful days on the peg this season! Heā€™s proof in the pudding that Steveā€™s training works after receiving compliments on how steady he was and following all the commands we have been working on out in the field. Iā€™d strongly recommend Steve if youā€™re serious about training your dog for the field!

Would highly recommend

Iv been going to Steve for 2 years, I can't recommend him enough. Always there on hand if I had some training issues with simple but effective solutions.

Finally someone on my wave length!

After going to a number of different dogs trainers over the years, Iā€™ve never found one that gives me the time and skill set I was after. That was until I met Steve! His dedication and care to both me and my dogs is amazing. He has given me confidence in both myself and my dogs ability, and I even get to now call him a friend! Thanks Steve, for everything.

Best call I've made for a long time

I first met Steve a few years back. Reasonably typical story, bought a puppy, thought it was going to be easy . . it wasn't. . ended up getting dragged on walked, after one particularly horrible walk got to the point 'enough is enough' help me google! found Breckland Dog Training, booked in for a 1:1 with Steve . . best session I've ever had, within 10 min Chester was walking to heal. Turns out it was me who was doing it all wrong, not the dog! Following the 1:1 Chester & I attended a series of group classes with Steve both the classes and the other dog owners really made the experience beneficial. We've since bought another dog (Arlo) and having learnt from our mistakes decided to do things properly this time, so have followed the placeboard training, attending weekly puppy classes, a few 1:1's to get Arlo to a standard I can take him on a shoot. Having watched Steve working his dogs 'in the real world' and hearing compliments from the 'guns', 'pickers' and 'brushers' about 'how well Steve's dogs perform, it is clear he does actually know what he's on about . . .although don't say I said that! I can honestly say if you want results, are prepared to actually listen to the instruction provided and do you 'homework' then Breckland Gundog Training are the right call.

Simply the best

5 stars really doesnā€™t give Steve justice. Iā€™m so thankful for ā€˜myā€™ training. Itā€™s not just about my dog, itā€™s educating me to be able to get the most out of my dog and always ensuring his safety. Steve is a true dog lover, honest and to the point! I donā€™t want pish and fluff! If I am not doing whatā€™s right for my dog then thatā€™s what I pay Steve for - honest trustworthy guidances I would highly recommend. If you want to give your pup or older dog the best chance then look no further! He really is simply the best.
