THE NZGTA GRADED GUNDOG TRAINING SCHEME
Dear Handlers, Assessors and Club Secretaries,
The documents which will enable you to administer the Graded Gundog Training Scheme for your (new) club members are detailed on this page. The Graded Training Scheme is a structured, non-competitive (achievement based) system of training stages that gives dog handlers the tools to achieve at a pre-novice level, and a path to joining the sport of gundog trialing.
The achievement qualifications for each stage of the scheme can be attached as a suffix to a dog’s pedigree – like DogsNZ has for Obedience, Scentwork and Agility:
Key features of the scheme:

Key features of the scheme:
- Helps to support struggling, novice, and new gundog owners, enabling them to achieve early success with their dogs and setting them up for further success in the future.
- Assessments can be made by anyone of suitable experience appointed by the club, providing they are not the trainer of those individuals.
- Simple to manage, with all the resources you need readily available (documents attached).
