British dog trainer to the stars Ben Randall of Beggarbush Gundogs has launched a new smartphone app to provide round-the-clock instructional videos and webinars for American dog owners struggling with behavioural problems.
The easy-to-use app features more than 300 videos which cover everything from toilet training, introducing the whistle and heel work, starting with puppyhood and moving right through to fully trained adult gundog working in the field on live game.
The state-of-the-art app allows owners to bookmark and download videos for when they might be training in rural areas with poor signal. Users can also create a profile for each of their dogs and submit individual questions to the team.
Double British Cocker Championship winner Ben has trained spaniels for numerous celebrities including footballer David Beckham and chef Gordon Ramsay. Commenting on his six-year-old cocker Bruno, Gordon said: “We have always kept dogs, but Bruno was our first working breed. Ben’s methods will give you the tools and confidence to enjoy your working breed, whether as a family pet or if you want to develop their natural instincts on the shooting field.”
Ben, who was also voted Gundog Trainer of the Year twice, commented: “As a result of lockdown, many dog owners in the US now turn to the internet for training advice rather than attending face-to-face lessons so this app is timely. Most of the training revolves around mealtimes that can fit in around busy lifestyles. English gundogs are considered the very pinnacle of training and my simple methods can be adopted anywhere in the world thanks to the app. It’s like having a gundog trainer in your pocket 24/7.”
A subscription to the app costs as little as 70¢ a day when paid for annually.
An annual subscription costs $254.99 per year.
Subscribers receive a 5% discount on the training products that Ben uses from Sporting Saint.
