TRAIN WITH BEN RANDALL

Champion trainer · Creator of the BG system

The BG training system was created by champion trainer Ben Randall. A back-to-back British Cocker Championship winner and multiple-time UK Gundog Trainer of the Year, Ben turns decades of experience into practical, reward-based lessons. Learn one skill at a time, then build on it when your dog is ready.

UPLAND DOG TRAINING, STEP BY STEP

FROM FIRST LESSONS
TO THE FIELD.

A dependable bird dog starts with a foundation. Follow a clear progression instead of piecing together conflicting advice.

  1. 01

    BUILD THE FOUNDATION

    Focus, recall, heel work, whistle cues and steadiness. Start with clear communication.

  2. 02

    DEVELOP THE SKILLS

    Retrieving, delivery and directional work. Build confidence through consistent practice.

  3. 03

    PUT IT TO WORK

    Progress toward handling, cover, birds and fieldwork as your dog is ready.

MORE THAN 300 TRAINING VIDEOS

KNOW WHAT TO WORK ON.
AND WHAT COMES NEXT.

Watch the exercise. Practice with your dog. Revisit the lesson. A single training system, from the basics to advanced work.

01 / FOUNDATIONS

GET THE BASICS RIGHT.

Recall, heel work, sit and stop, whistle commands, steadiness and first retrieves.

02 / DIRECTIONAL WORK

BUILD UNDERSTANDING.

Teach your dog to take direction before adding the demands of more advanced retrieves.

03 / RETRIEVING

MAKE EVERY RETURN COUNT.

Marking, memories, hunt commands, delivery to hand and common retrieving problems.

04 / ADVANCED HANDLING

ADD DISTANCE. KEEP CONTROL.

Blind retrieves, obstacles, distractions and more challenging handling exercises.

05 / GUNFIRE INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCE IT GRADUALLY.

A structured introduction to sound, visual cues and gunfire as training progresses.

06 / WATER TRAINING

BUILD WATER CONFIDENCE.

Progressive exercises for retrieves in water and beyond water obstacles.

07 / SPANIEL HUNTING

WORK THE COVER.

Hunting patterns, cover work, steadiness to flush and introductions to live birds.

08 / ADVANCED RETRIEVER

TAKE RETRIEVING FARTHER.

Longer sends, challenging terrain and handling through more demanding retrieves.

09 / LIVE BIRDS & FIELDWORK

BRING THE SKILLS TOGETHER.

Apply the training around birds and in real hunting situations.

START WHERE YOUR DOG IS TODAY. PROGRESS AT YOUR DOG’S PACE.

ASK BEN AI · GUIDANCE 24/7

THAT “WHAT NOW?”
MOMENT.
MEET ASK BEN AI.

A question comes up in the yard. Your dog starts running in, loses focus or struggles with delivery. Ask Ben AI gives you a place to turn, with answers grounded in Ben’s approved training materials.

AN EXAMPLE QUESTION TO ASK

“My Lab runs in before I send him.
What should I work on?”

  1. Describe the training problem.
  2. Review guidance from the BG system.
  3. Return to your training with a clearer next step.

Ask Ben AI is an AI assistant, not a live conversation with Ben. Check important guidance; a hands-on trainer can help with your dog’s individual needs.

FOR THE DAYS YOU TRAIN. AND THE DAYS YOU HUNT.

TRAIN IN THE YARD.
BUILD FOR THE FIELD.

Your dog needs more than a good day in the backyard. Build the communication, steadiness and retrieving skills you can take into the cover.

  • Work through distractions with a plan
  • Build retrieving and handling progressively
  • Prepare for birds, cover, water and gunfire

YOUR TRAINING PROGRAM, IN YOUR POCKET

A LITTLE MORE PURPOSE.
EVERY TIME YOU TRAIN.

Make the app part of your routine, whether you have a few minutes in the yard or an afternoon in the field.

WATCH. THEN WORK.

Review the lesson before you pick up the bumper. Take one clear exercise into your next session.

TAKE IT WITH YOU.

Save lessons and download videos ahead of time for training where a connection is hard to find.

KEEP MOVING FORWARD.

Track progress and keep dog profiles together. Revisit the basics whenever your dog needs them.

YOUR DOG. YOUR JOURNEY. OUR COMMUNITY.

YOU’RE NOT TRAINING ALONE.

Questions, setbacks and that first clean retrieve.
There’s a place for all of it here.

Inside Circle, share progress, ask questions and learn alongside other hunting-dog owners. Gundog Nation brings its community spirit to the U.S. launch.

KEEP LEARNING WITH BEN.

Go deeper with monthly webinars, masterclasses and recorded sessions. Build your understanding beyond the individual training lesson.

DIFFERENT DOGS. A STRONG SHARED FOUNDATION.

Labs, cockers, springers, pointers, setters and versatile bird dogs all benefit from clear communication. Start with the foundations, then develop the skills your dog needs for the way you hunt.

The library includes dedicated spaniel and retriever work. Pointing-dog owners can use the shared foundations; a dedicated pointing or whoa course is not represented here.

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED

GOOD QUESTIONS.
CLEAR ANSWERS.

A little clarity before the first lesson.

Yes. Start with the foundations and progress step by step. Experienced handlers can revisit skills or work through a specific training problem. You set the pace around your dog’s readiness.

Both. Begin a puppy with age-appropriate communication and foundation exercises. With an older dog, revisit the basics and build from the skills that are already reliable.

The shared foundations apply across many sporting breeds. The app includes specialized spaniel and retriever material. For a pointer, setter or versatile breed, use the foundations and check the current library for the breed-specific fieldwork you need; this page does not promise a dedicated pointing or whoa program.

It is an AI training assistant with answers grounded in Ben’s approved materials, available 24/7. It is separate from live webinars with Ben. AI can make mistakes, so check important guidance and get hands-on help when your dog needs it.

Yes. The training library includes retrieving, advanced handling, introductions to water and a structured introduction to gunfire. Follow the progression instead of rushing your dog into a more demanding situation.
