Our training includes complete basics consisting of obedience, force fetch, etc. up to advanced marking and handling. Training on average is a 4-month program. We accept all Retriever breeds, but space is limited.I welcome clients, along with their families, to come and watch their dogs during field training to monitor their dogs progress, as well as participate at their convenience. I also like to train clients to their dogs to make an easier transition from trainer to owner once training has been completed. This has been very successful. You are welcome to contact the current/previous clients that have participated in the training of their dogs to see just how successful this program has been.

Seasoned: The handling gun dog involves everything learned in the basic gun dog Course plus teaching the dog to handle on land and water blinds which takes an additional 2-4 months.
