Our training programs are designed to get the most out of your dog.  The Introduction Program insures your dog has the right start for its hunting career.  The Gun Dog program gives the dog the technical foundation and experiences to be a polished gun dog.  Advanced training for handling blind retrieves is also available.  All programs include birds; we use pigeons, chukars, pheasants, and ducks.

This program covers an introduction to birds, guns, retrieving, pointing (pointing breeds), upland hunting, and water retrieving (when weather permits.)  Leash and check cord obedience is also started.  A demonstration and honest evaluation of the dog’s strengths and weaknesses will be given when you pick up the dog.  You will also be shown drills so you can continue to work with the dog at home.

 Price: $680 + tax/month includes birds

GUN DOG  12 week program
(dogs as young as 9 months)

This program builds and polishes all the skills that make your hunt enjoyable and more productive.  It starts with the basics of obedience, manners, collar conditioning, and force fetching.  The basics allow us to move onto a finished delivery of birds at heel, control in the field, and steadiness in the duck blind.  Handler training is the final stage of this program.  Teaching you the proper commands, body language, discipline, and praise will allow you to get the most out of the dog and make the two of you a better team.

Pointers - Covers obedience, retrieve to hand, control in the field, steady point to flush, and upland hunting.
