ABOUT JILL THORPE
Jill’s passion for gundog training started when she was invited to help out on a local shoot. She has been picking up since 2014 and loves nothing more than watching her dogs do the job they were bred for. Jill has worked mostly on commercial driven shoots but also has experience of smaller family-run days.
Training her own dogs led Jill to get more involved in teaching, which she has been doing professionally for over six years. In the last couple of years, Jill has transitioned across to being a force-free trainer and strongly believes that building a bond with your dog is paramount to success.
Jill uses science-based methods to mark and reward precise behaviours to build trust and confidence in the dog. She feels one of the most important aspects of her job is showing owners how to have fun with their dogs and motivating them by giving the dogs choices and rewarding the choices they make.
Jill has experience in working tests and has successfully put one of her Labradors through the Working Gundog Certificate. For fun, Jill also trains and competes in working tests, and has dabbled in the past with Scentwork and competition obedience.
Jill’s speciality is in teaching Labrador Retrievers but caters for all working breeds, including Spaniels and HPRs.
