The
Gundog Club's graded training scheme has six levels
of award.
Grade One (Beginner) is the simplest. It tests
whether you have established the foundations of
basic obedience and simple retrieving, on which all
your further training will build. There are training
courses, and a step-by-step training manual,
available to help you reach this level, if you would
like extra help.
Grade Six (Master) is
the top level, and is designed to be equivalent to a
traditional Open Working Test standard. A Grade Six
gundog has reached the end of the training path.
The other Grades are
spread out in between, to break the training down
into manageable stages. Use the links below to find
out more about the different levels of grade.
Remember, you can take
each grade in one of three categories - retriever,
hunting retriever or HPR, depending on your dog's
traditional role, and the role that you want him to
work in, at the end of his training. |
