Individual Training

The Acer Signature Programme​

A private, personalised coaching programme built around you and your gundog, with flexible support and clear direction from the very first session.

This programme is designed for owners who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what to do with their gundog.

If your dog is great at home but everything seems to fall apart outside, if group classes haven’t worked for you, or if training has started to feel confusing rather than confidence-building, this programme gives you clarity, structure, and personal guidance.

From the very first session, everything is shaped around you and your dog. We begin by talking through your goals, your dog, and what’s been getting in the way.

A programme built around real life

The Acer Signature Programme is built for busy owners who want results without the restriction of fixed weekly classes. Sessions are arranged flexibly within a 60-day period, allowing you to make progress without training taking over your life.

Each session is planned with purpose. Rather than covering ‘more”’ we focus on the right things, in the right order, so training starts to feel calmer and more manageable. As you and your dog progress, the plan evolves with you. If something changes, we adapt. Nothing is forced and nothing is left to chance.

Personal guidance, not just training sessions

Throughout the programme, you’re never left guessing what to do between sessions with your trainer. We’ll give you step-by-step guidance so you know exactly what to work on at home, what to prioritise, and why it matters for your dog’s progress.

You will have direct access to demonstration videos and personalised support through our Online Training Academy, where we will respond to any questions you have between sessions. This means you’re never left stuck or second-guessing yourself. When you need clarity, it’s there, seven days a week.

Supporting the whole household

If other family members are involved in your dog’s training, they are welcome to attend sessions and be part of the process. Where that’s not possible, the same guidance and demonstrations are available online, ensuring everyone is working from the same plan and supporting your dog consistently.

Confidence, clarity, and a clear next step

At each stage, you’ll understand what you’re working on, why it matters, and how it fits into the bigger picture. This brings confidence and reassurance that you are training your dog properly, not just reacting to problems.

By the end of the programme, you’ll know exactly what to do next. Whether that’s continuing independently, joining a group class, or moving into another programme, you’ll leave with clarity rather than uncertainty.

"Wonderful trainers, we have had a great time learning how to teach our puppy focus, steadiness and obedience. Trainers have been fab, always gentle and positive, no force or punishment advised (which some places still use!!) If one method isn't working so well for you or the dog, other methods are suggested."

Individual Sessions Outside the Programme

Meaningful progress in gundog training rarely comes from a one-off session, especially with dogs we’ve never met and without an understanding of what their owners want to achieve. Meaningful results come from a clear plan, consistent guidance, and the right support over time.

For that reason, we don’t offer one-off individual sessions for new clients.

Individual sessions are offered either as part of The Acer Signature Programme, or alongside our training courses where there is already a framework and direction to work from.

Group Course Assessment

If you’re new to our training and planning to join a group course but unsure which level is the right fit for you and your dog, we can offer a short 20-minute assessment so we can meet you, see your dog in action, and recommend the most appropriate starting point.
