Video Tutorials

Rufriver Gundogs

A little insight

From the challenging times during 2020, we developed a number of training and challenge videos will give you some fundamental information about how we teach and train our dogs.  If you like this style of training, please get in touch with Allie to talk about lessons or group training days. Look forward to seeing you in Norfolk!

This is the second challenge - teaching your dog to jump. Feel free to have a go at this challenge and post your own video on our Rufriver Facebook page. Please note that you should not jump young puppies as they have soft bones and this could affect normal development. Please do not ask your dog to jump it has osteo problems either and only use safe fences - no barbed wire!
