Truffle Hunters- Dog School

In June 2007 we proudly opened "Truffle Hunters", an exclusive truffle
training ground dedicated to dogs (and their owners). Run by expert Marion
Dean and set in Hampshire (UK), the grounds of this quiet location are
packed with graded truffle hunting games designed to give your dog the
best possible chance of success.Mycorrhizal Systems Dog School

 

Your day will be filled with information not only on the best methods
to train your dog but also on where and when to hunt for truffles in Britain.
We cater for all levels of experience and hope to have your hound finely
honed in the art of finding ‘black diamonds’ by the end of
the day.

 

Mufti searching at Shady NookThey say that dogs learn most quickly when having fun, and we think the
same applies to their owners. A home-cooked lunch will give us all a well
deserved break (even dogs need to rest now and then!) before the final
session of games and awards

New DVD

Marion has compiled a new DVD to show how much care must be taken when harvesting truffles to prevent any damage to the valuable fungi, their mycorrhizal growth and the trees supporting them.  One can also gain an insight into Marion's style of teaching although it must be stressed this IS NOT a training video.

Lasting nearly 20 mins the DVD is further enhanced by Dr. Paul Thomas discussing the identification and seasonality of the Summer Truffle.

A charming and informative insight into this secret world.

The DVD is priced at £8.99 plus £1 p&p.

To order your copy, email Training@PlantationSystems.com quoting ‘DVD’ and you will be sent an electronic invoice that can be paid by card or cheque.
