You aren’t lazy or clueless. You care deeply. You’ve tried. You’ve paid attention. And still, you’ve found yourself standing there thinking, “I honestly don’t know what to do.” Not because you haven’t put the effort in. But because no one ever showed you how to make sense of it all in real life, with a real gundog, on a real day.
But between the pressure to get it right and the reality of juggling everything else — it often does.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing your dog, or second-guessing every decision… you’re not the only one.
You don’t need to figure it out alone anymore. There’s a better way — with guidance that works and support that never judges.
You miss a few training sessions because, well, life happens.
Then the guilt creeps in… “I’m falling behind. Everyone else is further ahead.”
So you swear you’ll catch up later.
But your dog’s behaviour slips, the pressure cranks up, and suddenly it feels like you’re failing at everything.
Next thing, you’re throwing yourself back into training with clenched teeth, frustrated, stressed, and wondering why this whole thing feels heavier than it should.
And before long, you burn out… right back where you started.
It doesn’t need to be like this.
Training isn’t about grinding harder, it’s about having the right support and a plan that fits the chaos of real life.
One that works when the kids need you, when work runs late, and when the British weather has other ideas.
That’s the difference inside LWDG. You don’t do it alone, and you don’t have to carry the guilt anymore.
Training that fits your life: Step-by-step guides, short videos, and workshops that make gundog training feel doable, even on your busiest days.

Yes! At least twice a month, we meet online live to hold group coaching sessions. Plus, we have regional group meet-ups and dog training days with LWDG Experts and a ‘Ask The Expert’ chat feed where you can ask a direct question. The LWDG is a global community and we welcome members from all around the world. Our community spans across various countries, and we embrace the diversity of working dog owners from different regions and backgrounds. Regardless of where you’re located, you can join our community and benefit from our resources, support, and network of like-minded dog enthusiasts.
It’s suitable for any dog that you want to train to be confident and obedient. We teach all kinds of dogs and handlers to have fun training whilst building their relationship and bond. Your dog does not have to be breed registered.
No. We welcome passionate newcomers who want to learn.
Nope. We hope you stick around for months and years to come, but you can come and go as you please. You can cancel really easily from inside your membership dashboard.
We focus on individualised training, recognising that each dog is unique. Our methods are about understanding and catering to the specific needs and learning styles of your dog, similar to personalised teaching plans in education. Importantly, we practice and advocate for humane and respectful training, strictly against any harsh handling or abuse.
Absolutely not. Our ethos is anchored in a kind and respectful approach. For instance, we might use a soft ‘steady’ command with our dogs, much like a teacher gently guiding a classroom with a ‘quiet, please’. This method is neither harsh nor aversive. It’s about guiding with kindness and understanding. To really get a feel for our compassionate training philosophy, we recommend giving a listen to our podcast ‘Found It, Fetched It’ where we delve into these principles, and our training in more detail.
Certainly! You’re welcome to join our community even if you don’t plan to use your working dog for hunting. Many of our members (40%) have working dog breeds that they train but do not hunt with, and our resources and community support are designed to cater to all working dog owners who want to provide engaging and fulfilling activities for their pets, regardless of their intended working roles.
We’re always here to assist you! You can reach out to us by sending an email to team@ladiesworkingdoggroup.com
Our dedicated support team will promptly respond to your inquiries and provide any additional information you may require. Feel free to contact us anytime; we’re eager to assist you on your journey with your working dog breed!
