• Basic program

This is the foundation of where a retriever is built. most Pups enter this program between 4.and 6 months of age. All of the formal obedience begins here, your pup will go through 4 basic steps in this program, 

Obedience: Here your pup will learn Sit, Sit/Stay, Heel, Here, Kennel, Place and all of the things we require for an obedient retriever.

Collar Conditioning: Through all the misconceptions, every retiever should be educated on what the Ecollar means to them! It is a comunication device between them and the handler. when used correctly this is a revolution to dog training. Your pup will be educated on how to correctly respond to the ecollar in many ways. this will be used for the life of the retriever.

Conditioned Hold: In this phase we teach your retriever to hold an Object and carry it correctly. this is the beginning phase of Force fetch. 

Force Fetch: This is where we pull it all together. by this time your retriever will be retrieving well and will be shown how to make it a passion! FF phase is the filal 6 weeks or so of the Basic program. this will teach your pup to deliver to hand and become a relaible retriever. At this point we will move into ground drills and prep for the intermediate phases of training. 

After the basic program has been completed, your pup will have become a reliable retriever on land and water, from platforms and boats, will have learned to stay steady to the gun and many other accomplishements. during these lessons they will see many enviroments and other dogs as well as distractions. if you have any unique requests we have been known to include them as well. We do Encourage clients to come out and train with us if possible. We believe the the handler probably needs as much training as the Pup....

Intermediate Program.

This is a level of Training where the Handler wishes to handle the Dog by Whistle. Most hunters use this in extreme Waterfowl Hunting as well as Pheasant hunting to control your dogs direction in the field. It is the advanced level of Hunt test and AKC field trial Retrievers. To enter this Camp your dog must have completed the Basic Retriever camp! Your experienced Hunter will Take Retrieving to a whole new level with this Training. Here we work on direction and steady them to take commands from the handler. The owner will be brought into this mid stream to take part in the Training and observe and learn the commands. You will need to practice your work as well. We will use live birds at this point and shoot live birds over your dog. We will throw multiple marks and advance the marking abilities of your retriever. Blind retrieves will be introduced and retrieved over land and water, from boat, stand and blind. At the end of this Camp you will truly have a complete and obedient Hunter anyone would be proud to hunt over!
