In this episode, I chat with force-free gundog trainer, Jules Morgan. Jules is a full APDT (UK) member and an accredited trainer and assessor for the Gundog Club.
Jules' training organisation is called Dog Training Naturally and she's been a professional dog trainer for about 25 years. She is entirely force-free and she is also a crossover trainer, so she really understands the journey that is made when people move from using aversives to being force-free.
Along with Helen Phillips, Jules has set up the Gundog Trainers' Academy - to train trainers(!) how to work with gundogs in a force-free way.
Jules herself owns and works both cockers and labradors and has experience working on many different types of shoots. She has judged gundog working tests and organised KC Working Gundog Certificate days and she is a co-founder of the Leconfield Working Spaniel Club.
