Launching Soon 2026

The Guild of Gundogs is an exciting new national training and assessment pathway, designed to support handlers and dogs at every stage of their journey.

Built on clear standards, consistency, and real-world application, the Guild provides a structured progression across retrievers, spaniels, and HPRs, offering achievable goals from foundation through to advanced levels.

Whether you are a pet owner looking for direction, a keen enthusiast developing your dog’s skills, or an experienced handler wanting to work to a recognised standard, the Guild offers a pathway that is accessible, fair, and relevant.

Each level has been carefully designed to reflect practical training and realistic expectations, ensuring dogs are not only capable in training environments, but confident and reliable in real-life situations.

The Guild of Gundogs will officially launch soon, with opportunities to take part in training, assessments, and future instructor-led programmes.
