Residential Gundog Training

​

We train your dog to a clearly defined standard over an agreed period of time, tailored to your goals and your dog’s potential.

During the residential program—lasting a minimum of 8 weeks—your dog will live with the MeareCastle team and benefit from the consistency, structure, and expert handling that only a full-time training environment can provide.

You’ll receive weekly video updates and progress reports throughout the program, along with comprehensive ‘user instructions’ at the end to ensure a smooth transition and continued success at home.

Very limited availability

Resident Testimonial

"Adam had my young bitch Robin for a few months residential training at about 6 months old. I had two puppies of the same age and felt that it would do them good to spend some time apart and concentrate on one myself while Adam worked with the other. Robin was the more lively and tricky of the two puppies so I felt someone with Adam’s knowledge and experience would be able to harness that energy and get the best from what seemed to be a promising youngster. Adam did a fantastic job with her and kept me updated on her progress throughout her stay with him, sending videos and texts on what she was up to. When we took Robin back Adam gave me a very detailed handover, demonstrating what she had learned and explaining how to move forward with her. Robin has gone from strength to strength since coming home and is shaping up to be a really lovely little gundog, I can’t thank Adam enough for the time and effort he put into her and would definitely recommend him to others who are looking for residential training for their dog."
