Edward Martin has had a lifelong love of gun
dogs and shooting, training his first dog on
the family farm as a teenager. He has
successfully competed in trials for many
years with a number of field trial champions
to his name. In 1993, training Shooting Times
dog Monty for a series of articles in the
magazine highlighted Edward’s approach to
training and a huge following ensued.
Adapting the training to the individual temperament of the dog shows how
all dogs can be trained to their individual highest standards. In this
programme we continue the training from 10
months to adult. Continuing stage-by-stage
training, devoloping walking on & off lead,
quartering, whistle and hand commands,
introduction to jumps, shot, dummy retrieves
seen and unseen, cold game, water and live
stock. Covering all the training ready for a
working life. Concluding the training into the
field with a days walk-up shooting and finally
picking-up.
