2016 Shows & Testimonials

 

Bank Holiday Monday 30 May 2016 – Horrington Fair
Wells Cricket Club, South Horrington, Somerset, BA5 3DJ

Testimonial:

My husband, three children and I recently went to Horrington Fete and had the absolute pleasure of watching a fantastic gundog display by Stephen Harrison from “One Man & His Gundogs”.

It was amazing! The control, the calmness and the absolute devotion of owner and dog was heart-warming and inspirational. There is nothing more special than witnessing a great display of companionship and devotion between human and dog, Daddy and pet. I have a fox red Labrador, Rufus, and I spoke to Stephen after the display. In the ten minutes of talking, I gained valuable advice, which I have already put into practice!

I cannot recommend highly enough watching one of Stephen’s displays: funny, entertaining and educational. Simply superb! Thank you for sharing what you do. You must truly love your job!  

Kindest regards

11 June 2016 – Winterslow & Firsdown Summer Fair

Winterslow Recreation Ground, Middle Winterslow, SP5 1RD

Testimonial:

Stephen Harrison and his team from ‘One Man and his Gundogs’ provided exceptional value for money and pulled the crowds in. We doubled the turnout this year. During his demonstrations, Stephen had the crowds hooked and fascinated with his exceptional skills and knowledge. Stephen volunteered to run our dog show as part of the event, suggested categories and entertained the crowds again with a high degree of humour.

Without doubt, Stephen and his team ensured that the Winterslow & Firsdown Summer Fair 2016 was an exceptional event and it will be hard, if not impossible, to top. I will definitely be having him back in future years.

Dear Stephen,

Thank you for a wonderful display yesterday. It definitely had the audience riveted, and all I could hear were people saying “I wish my dog would behave like that”!

Many thanks for coming to our Fete: the feed back has been marvellous, you were just wonderful!

16 July 2016 – Codford Fete

Testimonial:

What a great display of dog training and obedience was demonstrated by “One Man and his Gundogs” at Codford fete. I was fascinated to see how , using only kindness, rewards and elements of the dogs’ natural behaviour, he had them doing exactly what he instructed them to do. Not only working skills but some fun tricks too! And best of all you could see that these dogs were really enjoying themselves. Dog training at its best!

21 August 2016 – Martin Clunes’ Buckham Fair
Beaminster, Dorset.

Testimonial:

All I heard was positive words on the display you gave. We all found you and your team to be friendly and really joined into the spirit of Buckham Fair. The dogs were happy and relaxed and  were not at all fazed with the main arena. Well done! It was nice also to have you in the dog village as this allowed the public to visit and meet the dogs. We hope you also enjoyed being with us. With thanks once again and regards also to your lovely wife Andrea. 
Rosemary Young (Buckham Fair committee) and the Dog Field crew.

“Not just a gundog display”. We were privileged to witness Stephen and his amazing dogs at Buckham Fair at the weekend. It was inspiring to see not only the training that goes into these dogs but also the showmanship of the whole team (humans & dogs) creating an amusing display that the dogs so obviously enjoyed. A treat for all – well done Stephen.
