The Norfolk & Suffolk HPR Field Trial Club
Meet Our Trainers
This is a small selection of people that regularly give up their time in order to help others learn. Between them there are hundreds of years of dog training experience, both in the shooting field, working tests and field trials. We are privileged to have trainers that are training dogs competing in the top echelons of our sport.
