Whether you’re raising your first puppy or steadying a dog for the field, you’ve been living in the In-Between. The gundog world’s too harsh, the pet world doesn’t understand your dog’s drive. Here you’ll find what’s been missing. Guidance from experts who understand, our Two-Minds Method™ to follow, and a community that gets it.
But between the pressure to get it right and the reality of juggling everything else, it often does.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re good enough for this dog, or been told so many different things you don’t know what to follow anymore… 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.
Training that fits your life: Step-by-step guides, short videos, and workshops that make training your high-drive dog feel doable, even on your busiest days.
Answers when you need them: Ask your real questions and get answers from experts who understand the breed. No more guessing, scrolling, or feeling stuck.
A community that truly gets it: No judgment, no pressure. Just women who’ve been where you are, sharing what worked and making sure no question feels too silly to ask.
Events that keep you moving: Join live Q&As, webinars, and members-only sessions where you can learn, ask, and connect in real time.
Support you can’t Google: Podcasts, articles, and training plans made for women like you, living life with a working dog and a full plate.
Maybe you’re stuck on the same training problem month after month, the only one in your circle with a dog like this. Maybe you’re overwhelmed by advice and second-guessing everything. We’ve been there, standing in a wet field wondering the same things.
From the moment you join, you’ll have a clear path to follow. It starts with our LWDG Foundational Training programme, built to get you and your dogs past the sticking points and moving forward together.
Everything you need to train your high-drive dogs well: practical skills, mindset support, and a clear path to follow. £25 a month, or £200 a year, less than the cost of a handful of 1:1 lessons, for a full year of training and support.
Our success path shows you exactly what to work on next, so you always know where you are and what comes after. No more needing to guess which advice to trust.
Sessions built for dogs bred to work, living in family homes. Whether you’re training for the field or for life at home, we meet you where you are, with advice from experts who understand the breed.
Connect with women who truly understand the joys and challenges of living with these dogs. This is your space to ask questions, share your wins, and feel heard, without the noise or judgement of social media.
Regular expert-led sessions help you get unstuck before a small problem becomes a months-long one. Ask about the exact thing you’re facing this week and get feedback as you go.
Masterclasses, step-by-step guides, and videos made for our members. One structured resource to follow at your own pace that grows alongside you and your dogs.
From first foundations to advanced skills, we’re here to help you build the partnership you’ve always wanted with your dogs and enjoy every step of getting there.
Life gets busy, so everything works around you. Access training anytime, save your favourite sessions in personal folders, and listen to audio lessons on the go. Ten minutes in the car counts.
Our flagship course is a must-have, and it’s included free for Society Members!
If you’re not a member, you can still access this incredible resource as a standalone purchase for just £87. Designed to establish essential training foundations, this course equips you with the skills to progress confidently to advanced levels.
You’re probably wondering, “Who is behind all this?”
Well, The Ladies Working Dog Group has been running for over 8 years and we’ve had the pleasure of supporting over 8000 women, just like you! We focus on ensuring every woman feels supported and empowered in their gundog training journey. And because we’re created by women for women, you can trust us to understand your unique needs and provide a safe, nurturing environment for you and your gundog.
Sometimes I think I’m the only one with two springers who are doing the opposite to what I ask. I feel down, I get upset, and then I go into the Society Member community and I know instantly it’s all going to be ok.
The group are so supportive and I cannot be prouder of them all, this really is the community that supports you. Your membership now also includes free access to our flagship course Hot Mess Handler which is the course we all wish we had access to from the start. Wherever you are in your journey, we are here to help you learn quicker and with more confidence.

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!
