"Training"
-
Gun Dog Training:
-
This should take about 3 months.
-
This is the foundation work for your Gun Dog.
-
The best age for this training with your dog is between 9 months to 1 year old.
-
The First week we concentrate on the yard work including teaching Heel & whoa.
-
Once the dog has got that down we move on to introduction to birds.
-
We follow this up with more obedience work.
-
Next we will work on the introduction to the gun.
-
Then we will be training on voice and whistle commands.
-
Then we work on getting the dog Steady to wing and shot.
-
-
The above time frame depends on natural ability and maturity of the dog.
-
This time frame will very, not all dogs mature and develop at the same age.
-
At the end of three months you will have a good foundation start on your dog.
-
-
Field Trial Training and Campaigning:
-
We do all the foundation work first.
-
Once the dog has got the foundation down we move on to teach them to honor and stop to flush.
-
Then we train the dog to handle off horse back.
-
During Field Trail Season we are Campaigning the Dogs almost every Weekend.
-
-
Puppy Started Right:
4 to 6 months old
Your Puppy will be introduced to:
Birds
Guns
Basic Obedience
What we are really working on in this training environment is just to bring out and nurture your puppies natural instincts.
There will be very little pressure on the young pup if any.
The goal is to make this experience a fun one for the the young dog.
-
With all our training programs we encourage our clients to come out and work with us and your dog. This way we can help you keep up the foundation that has been started. Our clients are always welcome to call or return with their dogs for help when they need to.
