Trained Retrieve ( 8 week program )
Please note, There is no field training 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 properly retrieve a bird and 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 a proper 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 the sight and sound of the 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 the field, your dog will have a strong desire to retrieve, your dog will completely understand what his or her job is and will be ready to start field training.
Total Cost: $2,400.00 ( please note payment breakdown )
Payment Breakdown:
$300.ºº deposit to reserve a training spot for your dog ( Deposit is applied to the first 4 weeks of training of training )
$900.ºº is due at time of drop-off ( first 4 weeks of training )
$1,200.ºº Balance is due at the half way point, 4 weeks.
You will never see any additional cost or hidden fees.

Private Lessons ( Obedience )
Whether it be for a new client and their dog, or a past client who just needs some tune-up training, a private session is a quick way to get a dog and their owner back on track.
Why should a dog be trained?
A dog should be trained because we owe it to the dog to ensure his or her safety and well-being, to give him or her a purpose. Training is a responsibility we owe our dogs just as much as providing food and shelter, a well trained dog is a true pleasure to have as part of the family.
Philosophy
No two dogs are trained exactly a like, temperament, attitude and submissiveness all determine how we approach the final goal of producing a top rated gun dog. There is one goal every dog we train has in common and that is to be the best they can be at the job they are being trained for.
Cost
1/2 Hour sesson $40.00
1 Hour sesson $80.00
