Speaking Spaniel (Allsorts Dog Training) and Gill Gallagher specialise in personalised training programmes and one to one training programmes & short courses for spaniels of all types.

I want to help you understand your spaniel’s natural hunting instincts, drives motivators and reinforcements including why they do it and how you can incorporate these functions into their life as a happy and fulfilled family pet. While focusing on building confidence and two-way relationships incorporating choice-based learning methods taking in to account the individual learning needs of the guardian and their dog.
