Episode #009 What are British field trials like? What is it like hunting with dogs in the United Kingdom? In our latest episode, we sit down with Laura Hill of Stauntonvale Gundogs to discuss British field sports and training styles. 

Laura is one of the most accomplished field trialers in the UK. She’s made up eight dogs to Field Trial Champion, a journey we discuss in-depth in this podcast.  As an A-Panel judge under the Kennel Club, Laura has a wealth of knowledge of the ins and outs of shooting sports in the UK. 

In this podcast, we also cover several training topics from how to start with young puppies to the importance of making whistle-stops, or “whistle-starts”, fun for the dog. 

This is the first in-person podcast from “The Lab”, and we are incredibly grateful to Laura for hosting us at her home in England and sharing from her dog training and field trial experience.
