Ben Carter APGI

Ben’s love and enthusiasm for dogs goes back to his teenage years. While completing his level 3 game keeping qualifications, Ben acquired his first dog, a Spaniel named ‘Meg’, soon accompanied by ‘Tek’, a Labrador retriever.

Despite following a different career path, setting up and running a successful but unrelated business for more than 20 years his love of country pursuits remained, and Ben went on to train 15 of his own dogs for the shooting field, and, although they highly trained, dedicated working dogs, they can equally be found indoors in front of the fire curled up with the dachshunds.

After many years of bringing up and training his ‘Pets with Purpose’, Ben set up ‘Russet Copse Gundogs’ which is based on the outskirts of Cambridge and offers 1:1 and small group lessons throughout all stages of training from beginner to the more advanced.Ben uses his experience and knowledge to help you address any challenges you may face with your dog and will discuss, and set up, a tailored training program to keep you on track with your dog.

Always striving for the best from himself and his dogs, Ben can confidently guide you on your training journey, whether you are looking to develop your dog into a well - mannered member of the family or a valued shooting companion, Ben will assist you to achieve the best possible training result.
