islandgun Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Are you a trainer, or can you recommend a trainer for me and my springer in Lancashire. We will be in Longridge staying with family in October, and i would very much like to do some 1to1 with a knowledgeable person over the course of a few days..cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 I'm just round the corner, try sending lee kinsman a msg, he has some good stuff a few pages in, sure he will be able to help or know someone who can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Bear Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Another possibility is Adrian Slater, Kipperidge Gundogs in west Lancs. well known but not cheap. plenty of web info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotslad Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Depending wot time ur travelling at but a detour on way down and back to see Davy Lisset at buccluech would be well worth it, might only be 20mins each way to his kennels from the M74. Davy's a top bloke/trainer and a cracking set up he's got there with a big rabbit pen and plenty of other ground to go on depending wot ur dog needs. It may be a bad time to catch spaniel trainers thou as will be in the thick of FTing and getting dogs ready for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgun Posted April 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Thanks very much for the replies Mice.... I tried to find Lee to msg but short of going through all the people on here I will just wait until he posts, there are quite a few trainers in your area so will email them and see what turns up, do you know of a local clay ground my daughter and i could have a lesson or two.. ? Yellow Bear.... I did see the Kipperidge gundogs web site, looks a bit up market for me but i will mail them and see what happens scotslad... I did wonder about the time of year, cheers, I was hoping to turn up on a few consecutive days. so will see what turns up down south. it would give me an excuse to get out of the house cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Bear Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Coniston ground at Skipton has a good rep. There is also Kelbrook at Nelson (not my favorite ground) Worsley at Manchester And if you are going Sunday Webber's ground at Astley all within 45-60 minutes another 15 minutes would give you Catton on a Wednesday. Someone may be able to give others Northwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passionforangling Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Have a look at Fenway Labradors on Google. They are based in Lancashire and have a good set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
