## What is Gundog?

Your dog ignores your recall. Pulls on every walk. Grabs the dummy and runs. Sound familiar?
Most dog owners blame the dog.

Ben Randall — back-to-back British Cocker Champion and trainer to Gordon Ramsay — knows the real reason: the dog was never shown clearly what was expected.

That one shift in understanding is what the Gundog app is built on.

A proven method. Not just videos.

The Beggarbush training system starts indoors, using mealtimes to build focus before a single distraction exists. Then the garden. Then open spaces. Each stage only happens when your dog is genuinely ready — not when you've run out of patience.

It's the same step-by-step system behind Ben's bestselling book and years of championship-winning results. Now broken into 300+ video lessons you can follow at home, in the field, or wherever your dog needs work.

What's inside:
- Puppy foundations and early obedience
- Recall, lead work and heel
- Dummy retrieving and hunting patterns
- Spaniel and retriever fieldwork
- Health, nutrition and care

A community that gets it 
Connect with fellow gundog owners who share the same approach — reward-based, patient, and built around understanding your dog. Ask questions, share progress, and learn from people who've been exactly where you are.

Ask Ben directly
Interactive webinar for masterclass deep dives on Gundog topics to advance your understanding and Q&As to answer any training questions. Every subscriber gets access — like having a professional trainer on call, without the cost.

Live monthly webinars
Train alongside Ben each month, covering the challenges that matter most — from first commands to competition preparation.

For Labradors, cockers, springers, pointers and all gundog breeds.

As featured in Country Life Magazine and Gundog Journal.

### 3/5 — Slow to Access / Content needs Improvement

*2025-07-17, version 2.2.0*

The videos are frustratingly slow to download or play.  While the content could be good, the videos are fragments of clips rather than throughly thought out modules and therefore big gaps in the arc of instruction.  The creators have plenty of knowledge of instructing dogs, but could package their videos in a more thoughtful and longer format approach to share their knowledge rather than what feels like a YouTube short.

### 5/5 — Simply The Best

*2025-07-12*

To truly master any dog training you don’t learn how  to train a Dog! You learn every possible mistake there is to ensure you have the tools to correct them when you need to!

If it’s your first gundog like mine or your experienced and  need to retrain or get the next dog perfect the BG App is with you throughout your journey.

This is a whole package where you get a step by step process on how to train your dog with so many videos from the champion Master trainer Ben Randall.

We would recommend anyone looking for tools to train your dogs to look no further!

### 1/5 — Not worth the price

*2025-01-13*

The price is outrageous and they automatically enroll you for the next year. After I saw the 2nd year purchase I reached out to cancel and get a refund without a single response.

As to the App, You can find everything for free spread across numerous podcasts/channels. It is convenient in that it is all in one place, not worth the outrageous price.

**Developer response:** Hi Ironhand174,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations.

Our subscription model is designed to provide continuous access to expert-led training content in one convenient place. We strive to ensure that the renewal process is as transparent as possible.

For iOS subscriptions, Apple manages all renewals directly, and you should have received an email from Apple prior to the renewal with details about the upcoming charge and how to cancel.

Our app is built on Ben Randall’s lifetime of expertise as a professional gundog trainer, offering step-by-step guidance and unique features like monthly webinars where you can get tailored advice directly from Ben.

We are passionate about supporting gundog owners, and we’d love to help resolve this for you. Please email us at team@gundog.app, and we’ll be happy to assist.

### 5/5 — BG Gundog App - Amazing

*2025-01-08*

Thanks to this app my training at home has come on massively. Ben has reached out and helped me when l've been stuck. This is a great training tool especially having the videos in your pocket to revisit when out in the field.
Using the app coupled with visiting local gundog trainers for 121's and group sessions has really brought out the best in both the handler and the dog.
My training journey started in May, and I look back at then and now and see the results day by day it amazes me. As the app says, you can't build a house without foundations!

### 1/5 — Have paid but can’t access

*2024-11-18*

I’ve been subscribed to the app for a while and not had issues before but recently I have not been able to access the videos even though I am continuing to pay a monthly subscription (not cheap) I have tried contacting through the tech support form twice now but no response. I can’t find another way to contact them which is extremely frustrating and disappointing.

### 5/5 — Wish I got the app sooner!

*2024-10-01*

Fantastic resources even for complete novices like myself. Lots of inspiring ways to make training fun for you and your pup! Excited to see what the community support page brings. Would love to see resources/more examples of these techniques used on dogs that haven’t been exposed to these methods from a pup.

### 5/5 — 100% recommend!

*2024-09-30*

The Gundog app is a fantastic resource for both novice and experienced dog owners with over 300+ videos breaking down the different components of training. 
The monthly webinars are really beneficial where there’s no such thing as stupid question! 
If you’re looking to improve your training, or you’re picking your pup up then I would recommend the Gundog App!

### 5/5 — Must have resource for any trainer and dog

*2024-09-30, version 1.7*

With over 300 videos how can you go wrong? The best dog training resource there is out there. It doesn’t matter the age of your dog or the breed of you dog, this app is for EVERYONE. It literally is a life changer

### 5/5 — Run your own race with this amazing app…..

*2024-09-29*

The Gundog app has been an absolute game changer for training my cocker spaniels! It provides clear, step-by-step guidance that’s easy to follow, making the training process smooth and enjoyable for both me and my dogs. The app covers everything from foundations  to advanced gundog techniques, and the video tutorials are incredibly helpful. I love that I can track progress and tailor the training to their specific needs. I am now out 6 days a week picking up thanks to the app. Highly recommend to any dog owner!  Thanks Ben and Kristian for the amazing support and service .⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
