Gu​n Dog

(12 Week program)

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 gun dog and make the two of you a better team.

Price: $275 / week includes tax and birds. Full program is $3,300.00.

Our dog training programs are designed to get the most out of your gun dog. The Introduction Program insures your retriever 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, chuckers, pheasants, and ducks. We can train your dog for whatever your hunting preference - duck hunting, goose hunting, pheasant hunting, quail hunting, whatever!
