Another enjoyable ,if a little sweaty experience!

Alison Marriott14-02-2017 8:42 PMTracking training in Thetford ForestThank you for an outstanding day - hound and human both challenged and encouraged by Peter, whose training skills are exemplary. We left pleased with ourselves and delighted by what we'd experienced and achieved. No improvements to suggest - other than that, as places are like gold dust, is there any possible way that the numbers could be increased? I recognize that that is probably impossible, however.
-
John Leggett14-02-2017 7:17 PMTraining feed backSunday 12th Feb was our first venture into blood/deer tracking, I found it very informative and interesting and all parts of the experience was put across superbly and in layman terms by Peter Cheeseman, this will not be our only visit and can't wait for the next session and hopefully we can progress to test standard, now knowing the basics required I can work on what was taught on the day and work on this in between sessions.

Alison Marriott11-01-2017 12:38 AMTraining day at Thetford 08 January 2017Terrific first day of tracking training with the BMHS at Thetford in Norfolk. What an exceptionally good trainer Peter Cheeseman is - clear, calm and encouraging. I was (am) a complete beginner and learned a huge amount in a single day. Peter gave my eight month old Dachshund puppy the opportunity to shine and she proved to be in her element, her German hunting lines shining through. I was thrilled for her and delighted to have found a way for her to develop her tracking skills here in England - and very grateful that the BMHS is open to non-BM hounds! We were warmly welcomed, and along with Molly (Dachshund, 6 months) with Minna and Anja (Chesky terrier) with Sheila, Lexie had a glorious day trying out puppy/beginners' tracks - and so did I. Thank you so much to Peter and to anyone else involved in organizing the day, and in particular, Peter, for getting us off to such a cracking start, and to the other attendees for making us welcome. Best day out I've had in a long time.
-
Sheila Atter11-01-2017 12:34 AMThetford Training DayAnother superb day. I can't believe how far my dog and I have progressed in just two sessions. Wouldn't have been possible without Peter, and his patience and encouragement. Lovely venue, great company - what a fabulous way to spend the day.

-
Andrea Slaymaker08-09-2016 11:45 PMShot Site Awareness DayAs a non shooter quite recently come to the world of deer management and stalking, I have very little idea of the reality of a shot site and what to expect when I (hopefully, one day) turn up with my dog to find a lost deer. I can honestly say that I found the day incredibly helpful in this respect - it doesn't matter how many articles you read, or how well described the situation is, nothing beats actually seeing what shape the bone fragments of a leg are, or how the hair is broken off, or even how far gut contents can be thrown by a mispaced shot. Seeing the reality was amazing, although obviously it will be quite different when the target isn't already dead! The opportunity to try using a rifle was also great fun, and very well handled - safety standards were very, very high and I never felt intimidated or nervous. I had a fantastic time, and found the whole day to be informative, interesting, and entertaining. I hope this event will be run again - I'll be there!
-
