Can we collect name, area, contact details of trainers who will take on HPRs.
In time this could prove a very useful resource for both new and experienced handlers alike,

When you say "take on" do you mean provide training for handlers and their dogs or take dogs in for residential training?

train handlers and their dogs rather than take a dog and train it for you.

In Scotland there's Andy Cullen - www.laochingundogs.com/
Does both training of handlers with their dogs and takes in for training too, same as Rory does, and knows him very well.

Rory Does both hourly/daily or residential training [for the dogs] as you should all know.

I was bitterly disappointed not to have Sean Bean on the table, I had brought the rope, and condensed milk [for the coffee]

I trust very few people with my dogs. Having had nasty surprises when sending my horses for further schooling, I am very wary of trainers.
I like Rory's approach to dogs, he is kind( to both humans and dogs!) and I trust him 100%.
No one else will do for me Wink

No decent hpr trainers down here in the south west ... Steve Kimberley has moved to pastures new Rolling Eyes

do you mean new style of dog? or new area of country?

I ran on a training day under him in the winter - for HPRs . And very good it /he was.
