Want training options do we offer? Several. Please read on to learn more.
The Jump Start Program. The jump start program is for puppies or dogs that have not yet been exposed to birds. Through this program, your dog will have exposure to birds and the gun shot. We will also focus on socialization skills. Such skills are extremely important for the development of your dog's future hunting ability. The recommended stay for your dog is four weeks.
- The Field Obedience and Upland Training Program. This general training program offers everything from primary hunting obedience and extreme bird exposure to build prey drive, to instilling steadying and backing skills. The recommended stay for your dog is initially four to six weeks. We also offer lessons for the owner(s) as part of this program. This will aid in the successful use of your dog's newfound skills. We want you to be able to experience your dog's full potential. We recommend that owners take their dog home periodically throughout the training experience to practice and master handling their dog. Please know that we can take the training to the point of your desire.
- The Conditioning Program. In early fall, dogs need to physically prepare for a hunting or trialing season in the same way that a person will train for a marathon or any other major physical activity. This program is for trained dogs. It offers conditioning opportunities through roading and field work. As part of this program you will need to choose a upland bird package. These birds will be shot over your dog as part of his/her conditioning. You determine the length of your dog's stay.
The Trained Retrieve Program. This program will help your dog with its retrieval skills. We recommend a six to ten week stay.
Please keep in mind that each dog will learn at its own pace. Some dogs are quick learners and some are not. Because of this, we offer a straight rate of $125.00 per week, plus the cost of birds for any of our training programs.
Finally, if you should become a client, you will have an open invitation to take part in the training process or do some training of your own at our facility. Please contact us at (715) 669-3303 to learn more about what we can offer you and your dog.
