On 9/11/25 the FCRS will be running a Working Flatcoated Retriever Development Programme Level 2A Training Day, aimed at dogs who have not previously picked fur or feather (or have minimal experience of picking fur or feather). The training will be held near Dunnington, in the Cotswolds/S Midlands Area.
This training will be suitable for novice (or more experienced handlers) with young or novice Flatcoats, who wish to progress their dog into a ‘live game environment’. A variety of fresh, previously shot game will be used and blank shot will be used to simulate the shooting environment. There will be the opportunity to do individual retrieves, marks and memories, some walked up training and potentially simulated drives.
Dogs taking part will be expected to have a complete retrieve and delivery to hand, and should be capable of some off lead heel work, be steady to shot, thrown dummies and other dogs working, and be able to hunt effectively in different cover and conditions. If you are uncertain whether this is the appropriate training for you please contact Andrew Sweeney (

The cost of the training to FCRS members will be £65 per day. (Non members are also welcome. The cost to non members will be £70 per day.)
