Our Training Programs

Our Commitment to You
We customize our training programs to the personality
of your dog in order to reach its fullest potential.
​All of our training programs are designed to include         the use of live birds, with the exception of our Basic Obedience program.
Our programs are designed to develop life long skills and
create a dog that works for its owner.  We train your dog and follow up that training by continuing  to work with you and your dog  after you bring your dog home.  We’ll teach you how to ​handle your dog and how to continue the
​training process.

Basic Training

​This level of training covers fundamental skills. This includes obedience, force fetch, collar conditioning, and basic marking skills. We recommend starting your puppy at 6 to 8 months of age. It takes 3 to 4 months to complete our basic gun dog program.

Intermediate 

​This level of training covers handling drills for both land and water, multiple marks, lining drills, and hunting scenarios.  It takes 3 to 4 months to complete this program, after the Basic program has been completed.

Advanced 

This program is designed to mold your dog into a finished gun dog. Training includes advanced handling drills, multiple markings, and challenging land and water blinds. This program takes 3 to 4 months to complete, and the Basic and Intermediate programs must be completed first.

Upland Program

​We work with both pointing and flushing dogs, and like all of our programs, the upland program begins with basic obedience.  In this program, we train for real life hunting scenarios.  We  work hard to ensure that a dog is steady to point,  honors reliably, and is steady to wing and shot. This program takes 3 to 4 months to complete.

Obedience Program

During this six week program, we cover all basic obedience commands both on and off the leash. We can also incorporate an introduction to birds and the gun shot if requested.
