Don't just watch a dog be trained —learn to train your own.

Hello everyone, it’s Ace Berry from Aces Retrievers. I wanted to give you a quick overview of my training style and videos. I look for dogs that naturally love to retrieve — drive and drive levels are very important to me. My goal is to make the time with the handler the best part of the dog’s day. My programs focus on American duck hunting, blood trailing/tracking, and quartering/flushing for upland hunters. Rather than showing finished dogs doing drills, my videos take you step-by-step through real problem-solving as we work through challenges together. You’ll see dogs raised at my facility as well as others that returned after going home, giving you a wide range of drives and personalities. I break down their individual traits, terrain setups, and the pros and cons of their decisions so

My name is Declan Boyle, and I am the owner and trainer behind Tullyah Gundogs in Armagh, Northern Ireland. I have been involved in training, breeding and competing with working labradors for more than 20 years, developing dogs for both field trial competitions and practical shooting work. Over the years, I have had the privilege of judging at the highest level as an A Panel Retriever Judge, while also captaining the Irish Team at International Events and Game Fairs. One of the highlights of my career was winning the Irish Retriever Championship in 2017 and 2019, along with the prestigious IGL Retriever Championship in 2019 with my outstanding dog, INT FTCH Miller McDuff "Paddy". At Tullyah Gundogs, my focus has always been on producing intelligent, stylish and dependable retrievers.

John Dawson's career began around 17 years ago. He is particularly notable because he combines breeding, training and handling rather than simply competing with dogs bred elsewhere. His most successful partnership, FTCH Balleyvalley Riley, is home-bred and has progressed from John’s own kennel to the highest levels of international competition. His record includes Irish international representation, IGL Championship qualification, Irish Retriever Championship qualification and multiple Scottish Game Fair Top Dog awards.

Oliver Bell is the founder and driving force behind Ballygillen Gundogs, with a passion for training, working and competing with gundogs that has developed over many years. Specialising in Labradors Oliver has built Ballygillen around a simple philosophy: producing talented, honest working dogs with natural ability, excellent temperament and a strong desire to work. His experience spans everything from developing young dogs and working them in the shooting field to competing successfully at the highest levels of field trials and international gundog competition. Oliver’s achievements include making up 3 Field Trial Champions as well as winning the Irish Retriever Championship. He has also represented at international level as part of Irish and UK Teams.

John Peach is an accomplished gundog trainer, breeder and competitive handler based in Ireland, and the name behind Liskoney Gundogs. He has built a strong reputation for producing stylish, natural working retrievers with the temperament, trainability and game-finding ability required at the highest level. Among his notable achievements is finishing 4th at the 2024 International Gundog League Retriever Championship with IR FTCh / FTCh Liskoney Fast Firmino. The pair returned to the Championship in 2025, earning a Diploma of Merit. John also qualified two dogs for the 2024 IGL Championship. Through Liskoney Gundogs, he continues to breed, train and handle quality working retrievers for both the shooting field and competition.
