( Specialize in Training Retrievers for Upland Game and Waterfowl Hunting )
Basic Field Training ( Waterfowl )
* This program is designed for Retrievers.
* On average, this program takes 4 weeks to complete.
Please Note: If your dog has little to no obedience, if your dog likes to play while retrieving, if your dog only retrieves when its in the mood, if your dog likes to chew on birds or refuses to retrieve birds, your dog will then need to go through the trained retrieve to fix those issues before starting this program. In order for a dog to excell in this program a dog must have solid obedience and a reliable retrieve with a proper delivery to hand.
The following skills will be taught in this program ( Training for Waterfowl hunting )
This program is all about your dog learning to watch the sky for birds, marking shot birds, retrieving skills on land and in water, your dog will be introduced to retrieving from a field blind, your dog will be introduced to retrieving through decoys on land and in water.

Trained Retrieve
* This program is designed for Retrievers, Spaniels and Pointers.
* On average, this program takes 8 weeks to complete.
Please note: There is no field training or the use of live birds, only dead birds will be used in this program. The trained retrieve is about having more control of your dog and your dog's retrieve, this training converts the playful natural retrieve to an obedient controlled retrieve with the proper delivery to hand.
Many people fail to understand why a dog that already retrieves naturally should be trained to retrieve. The truth is that the forced retrieve is more about control than it is about retrieving, a dog that completes a forced retrieve program is more reliable and obedient than dogs who control how and when birds are retrieved. A dog that is properly force trained will retrieve birds you want retrieved, in the order you want them retrieved, return to heel and properly deliver to hand, the retrieve is completed on your terms not the dog's terms.
I honestly believe this training is the foundation to all gun dog training and all dogs should go through this training before starting the field work. This training is the most important and the most difficult training a dog and trainer will ever go through and is a must if you want a reliable retrieve and delivery to hand.
The following skills will be taught in this program:
* Obedience, your dog will be trained to the following commands ( come, heel, sit/stay )
* Force fetch, your dog will be trained to the following commands ( fetch, hold and give )
* Introduction to shotgun ( 12 gauge )
* Dead birds will be used in this program to ensure a proper retrieve and delivery to hand ( Pheasants and Ducks )
Once your dog has successfully completed this program your dog will be obedient on and off leash, your dog will have a strong desire to retrieve, your dog will understand how to properly hold/carry and deliver to hand, your dog will completely understand what his or her job is and will be ready to start field training with live birds.
