Matt Ager Pet & Gundog Training

Matt Ager is a professional pet and gundog trainer based in East Northamptonshire. Along with his partner, Rachel Harrington, they run Spinnakeu and Harrachtain labradors and spaniels. Matt offers one-to-one and group training for both gundogs and general pet obedience. He has owned dogs all his life and has trained seriously since 1997. Rachel runs a successful dog walking business and a secure exercise field. She also runs popular puppy training classes which complement Matt’s training operation. Between them, Matt and Rachel have five children and four grandchildren. Their current team of dogs include a number of labradors, and cocker spaniels as well as a setter and a Jack Russell. Matt has bred a number of labrador litters under his ‘Spinnakeu’ affix since 2001. In 2018, Rachel established her own affix of ‘Harrachtain’. Their combined goal is to breed occasional litters of labradors and spaniels suitable for field trials, working tests and as valued shooting companions
