We share real-world insight from the field, covering everything from puppy foundations to advanced gundog work.

We believe gundog training should be clear, consistent, and enjoyable. Therefore, our approach focuses on building strong foundations, trust between dog and handler, and steady progression without unnecessary pressure!

🐾 Have you watched our latest video yet?
Meet Fudge, the newest little member of the Kugae Gundogs team! 🐶
In this video, Carl introduces our new Cocker Spaniel puppy and talks through what he looks for when choosing a gundog puppy — from researching the breeding and bloodlines to meeting the parents and thinking about what you actually want from your future dog.
Choosing the right puppy starts long before you bring them home.

🐾 Labrador, Spaniel or HPR?
We know this could cause some debate… 😂
If you could only choose ONE to have as your gundog, which would it be?
🖤 Labrador
🤎 Spaniel
🐾 HPR
And more importantly… why? 👀
We work with all three here at Kugae, but we want to hear what you would choose!
👇 Tell us your choice in the comments — and no sitting on the fence! 😂

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ CUSTOMER REVIEW
We’re always incredibly grateful when someone takes the time to share their experience with us, and this was such a lovely review to receive. 🐾
“After trying two previous dog trainers, I was still having problems with my spaniel. Then I found Kugae Gundogs on YouTube and quickly realised where I’d been going wrong.
Booking a session with Carl was the best decision I could have made. He is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely wants to help both dogs and their owners succeed. The whole team is friendly and supportive.
What impressed me the most was Carl taking me to a lake full of ducks to show me, in a real-life situation, how to control my dog. That practical training made all the difference.
I left feeling much more confident and with a far better understanding of my spaniel. I would highly recommend Kugae Gundogs to anyone looking for first-class dog training.”
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback. ❤️
For us, training isn’t just about working with the dog — it’s about helping the owner understand their dog and giving them the confidence and practical skills to continue the training at home.
If you’re struggling with your gundog or simply feel you need some guidance on what to work on next, get in touch with the Kugae team. 🐕🐾

🐾 MEET EDWARD 🐾
If there’s one thing you should know about Edward, it’s that he loves a cuddle! 😂❤️
Edward is a lovely working Labrador with a fantastic nature. He’s a proper character — happy out working and training, but equally happy being right beside you getting as much fuss and attention as possible.
He’s one of those dogs who proves that a working gundog can have plenty of drive in the field while still being an absolute softie at heart. 🥰
Handsome, affectionate and always ready for a cuddle… that’s Edward! 🐾
Who else has a Labrador that thinks they’re a lap dog? 😂
