I have an intensive collection of dog training books and DVDs in my home library. Which have inspired me and from each I have taken various training strategies. I have also trained gundogs for nearly forty years and found myself learning some new process from every section of The Upland Institute.

I was absolutely engulfed with Justin’s explanations. From teaching “whoa”, heeling, bird introduction, gun introduction and a host of other training segments in this series.

If you are looking to train a hunting companion to that top shelf level, these videos will for sure help you attain your quest with very user safe methods for your dog.

I have been following the Hunting Dog Podcast since the first episode. Early on Justin McGrail was one of the guests that had me replaying episodes over and over. I was starving for more training content. When The Upland Institute was launched, I was ecstatic. Finally, Justin is now my own personal trainer!

The Upland Institute video courses are pieces of bird dog equipment you should have in your training bag. As an amateur that has dabbled in training pointing dogs for the last 22+plus years, I found the series easy to comprehend, very simple and ‘to the point’. The techniques Justin uses are well explained, easy to follow and not ‘rocket science’. They are methods that if done correctly, and with simple repetition, will give your pointing dog (of any breed) a solid foundation for years to come! The videos are professionally produced, and easy and informative to listen to.
