Train with GundogTV

Adrian Slater has been training gundogs for over 40 years. He has been selected and competed for the England spaniel team 14 times and he organised the England spaniel team for 4 years.

He won top overall dog at Blenheim Palace and was awarded top hunting dog twice when representing England at The Game Fair

In the main arena at Crufts you will see Adrian captivating audiences with his popular gundog displays, which he performs with his wife Caroline and his Kipperridge Gun Dogs team.

You may have also seen him at The Sandringham Flower Show, Burghley Horse Trials, The CLA Game Fair or heard him at the GWCT Scottish Game Fair at Scone Palace, where he is one of the Gundog commentators.

Adrian is an A Panel Kennel Club spaniel judge, judging and competing in plenty of field trials and tests over the years. His most recent win was at the Welsh Kennel Club’s Open Cocker spaniel trial, at the start of December.

He has judged the English Springer Spaniel Championship on two occasions and also judged The Cocker Spaniel Championship twice.

Adrian has a wealth of knowledge in a variety of aspects of dog training which he can’t wait to show you in his new videos.

Jason trained his first gundog in 2000 when he was a gamekeeper in Herefordshire.  Having a sporting background it was only natural that as well as using his dog for picking up on local shoots, he would quickly take up the challenge of competing with his dogs at Working Tests and Field Trials. 

By 2003 Jason had been selected to represent Wales with his first love, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Arnac Bay Sage, and in 2004 he won his first Field Trial with his Labrador Ravensthorpe Izzy.  He continues to compete with all his dogs, and especially with his Field Trial Champion Kestrelway Drake, with whom he qualified for the International Gundog League Championships in 2017 and 2018.  In 2018 and 2019, Jason represented England at the Anglesey Gundog International, and on both occasions FTCh Kestrelway Drake was the highest scoring dog for England.

In 2022, Jason made up his second Field Trial Champion with FTCh Berryshot Bernie, and once again qualified for the IGL Retriever Championship, making it Jason’s fourth time at the Championship. In 2021 FTCh Berryshot Bernie received a Diploma of Merit at the IGL Championships.

Jason is a Kennel Club A Panel judge. He has judged both the Belgium and the Swedish Gundog League Retriever Championships.

As Jason’s training methods developed over the years, he began helping others with their training. People found his methods effective and easy to follow.  He began to be asked for private tuition and group training for gundog clubs and groups of friends, and eventually he decided to turn his passion for the sport into a full time occupation.  Ask any of his clients and they will tell you his enthusiasm is infectious, and he gets as much enjoyment out of introducing beginners to his sport as he does working with those with considerable experience.
