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.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Gundog at 78% against Forest Tree Identifier's 23%. Gundog also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.6). Forest Tree Identifier's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and rating (4.1 vs 3.6). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Forest Tree Identifier holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Forest Tree Identifier has 828 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Forest Tree Identifier's written reviews are positive against 78% of Gundog's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Forest Tree Identifier ships an update every 6 days, Gundog every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
