Kirkbourne and Covid19
At kirkbourne we will maintain sticking to goverment guidance to ensure yours and our safety is never compromised.
In this unprecedented times we must comply with any guidance supplied by the goverment. At to that end we will always practice good hygiene for us along with our dogs. Disifectant buckets will be made available for your dummies and training aids along with fresh water to rinse them off.
We will ask each and everyone of you to pay on line to prevent cash being handled.
We will also ask for each handler to use rubber gloves and dispose of them yourself. Socially distencing must also be a priority for everyone.
We will limit numbers for each group and each group will train in a different location on site. Unfortunately some may think that our idea for returning to training is not so important and may fail to stick to our guidelines. If anyone is found not sticking to the above you most certainly will be asked to leave the training area without refund.
Please note these rules may not be limited to the above and more measures may have to be taken to ensure yours and our safety. Guidance will be followed without question from our govement.
We look forward to seeing you at our next training and will announce in due course

The Dummy Launcher Workshop: This Is Where It Gets Serious
There's a moment at the shooting field - or the working test, or even just a training session with other handlers watching - where you realise the retrieve isn't the problem. It's everything before the retrieve. The dog that breaks on the shot. The one that's already running before you've even lifted a finger. The one you've asked to sit three times and it's sat twice and the third time you just gave up because everyone's watching. You know the one. It might be yours. That's not a retrieve...
We are getting bigger and better
We have so much new stuff coming up with Kirkbourne. New training sessions. Watch out for new venues too for training. SPANIELS be ready w ehave some new stuff for you too. Too much to mention and get it all out there but its going to be brilliant. Being with kirkbourne family will bring the best out in you and your dog. We have to take small steps to ensure each task we show our dog is understood and sinks in. I myself are offering one to ones in thirsk and I may be tempted to Doncaster now...
