Cawdor118 Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 As the title says, I have a 5 month old cocker bitch that I am wanting to be ready for next year so there is no time like the present to get her started. Does anyone know of a decent trainer around Inverness area? Cheers in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutty Boots Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Malcolm (Malky) Smith, the fella that usually does the demonstrations at the Moy Game Fair is probably the closest. He used to take the dogs in full time ( he runs kennels also.) Or may do sessions to suit you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodach Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 You want to join the Moray Firth Gun Dog Society, Malcom Smith has sold his Kennels but he is a member of the MFGS. You are always welcome to come and work your dog on our diy shoot when it's ready. Cheers, Bodach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutty Boots Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Oops sorry, didn't know he'd sold up. He must still be breeding & training though, my dentist bought a lab pup from him & was offered help with training too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
