Gundog training, Residential training and Gundogs taken in for training.

Sarah Miles now based in the Scottish Borders, “Smiles”, has been dog training all her life – gaining an enviable reputation across the country

Whether you are looking for basic obedience or gundog training to field trial standard, Sarah can help you.

Smiles dog training is designed to present dog owners with a dog training method that will work for them and their dog to achieve their desired goals. All dog training is based on positive reinforcement. A man/woman and their dog form a team, therefore “Smiles” not only trains the dog she also trains the owner.

Sarah returns to her Hampshire  grounds on a monthly basis to hold Workshops, training days and 121’s.
