Hi there,
Am new to the forum and have enjoyed reading lots of your posts.
I own a two and a half year old GWP who I have had lots of probs with, but we now seem to be working together nicely. We currently attend the GSP club training at Lightwater which is brilliant, but only held once a month.
Am soon to be getting another puppy and wondered if anyone knew of any another hpr training in the Hampshire area? As the Lightwater club is only monthly, I don't want to 'share' training sessions between the two of them!
With thanks, Helen T.
Mike Bevan runs an HPR training sessiopn once a month on a Sunday afternoon. very friendly - in Elstead nre Guildford. free
Chris Duffey runs a 'retriever' class on a Sunday pm weekly in the winter, weekday evenings in the summer. £5 a session.
I am in the Alton area and happy to meet people for dog training sessions. I have tracked down some quite good venues. _________________ Guy; Ellie Topaz Catja. http://www.epagneulbreton.org.uk
Thats great Guy thankyou. (Whats the betting its the same Sunday in the month as Lightwater? 3rd Sunday in month) Do you know how I would contact the man at Elsted?
I keep being told there is one in Alton too but have yet to actually find it!
Depending on which part of Hampshire you live the gsp sw branch have training 1st Sunday of each month near Bournmouth airport I can supply you with contact deails if you require them

Hi! The only person I know with Munsters at Lightwater is Neil as I tend to get put in his group with Mike. (Mike understands my cheeky young Wire. ) I really like it there, I find the people really friendly and supportive. How do you find Elstead, is it similar?
Helen - you must be good if you get put with Neil. I'm usually in John Parnham's group and he is excellent. I too like Surrey, very friendly and helpful people.
Elstead is very similar. I understand many years ago it was a GWP group and over time it has changed and is sort of a private group of like minded individuals who meet. I found them really approachable and most of the people I recognised either from Surrey GSP training or Sussex GSP training, both great bunches of people. I'm sure you will be made to feel very welcome. They even welcome Large Munsterlanders
NO I PROMISE WE ARE NOT AS GOOD AS NEIL!! We have been going for a bit over a year now and when I first began Bill my dog had some pretty serious issues with other dogs. Michael took me under his wing (i think his dog had had similar issues) and with lots of help and advice we have cracked it. They have all been great.
I like John Parnham though too, I shadowed him at the Spinone Day where he judged the puppies and he gave some great, no messing around advice! Some of those poor Spinone youngsters had a bit of a shock!
