Going for a Bumble

In this 90-minute presentation, Helen Phillips and Jules Morgan explore "Going for a Bumble" - how to teach working and pet gundogs the difference between hunting and social pleasure.

What does your gundog do on a walk? Do they stay relatively close while having a relaxing sniff? Or do they make a beeline to the horizon as soon as they are off lead, enjoy chasing wildlife and become too engrossed in hunting to hear you?

There is a great deal of debate, conflict and confusion around the subject of whether to let your dog run free, off lead in the countryside, irrespective of whether it is a family pet or a full working gundog.

This is why, in this 90-minute presentation, Helen Phillips and Jules Morgan will reveal the ultimate steps to help you teach your gundog the difference between ‘going for a walk’ and ‘going hunting’ in the same stimulating environment.

The Going for a Bumble Presentation covers the following: 

• Understanding the difference between hunting and bumbling
• How to create the bumble zone
• How to use rewards to maintain connection and partnership in challenging situations
• Teaching a check-in behaviour and how to progress this
