“THE BOND BETWEEN A HUNTER AND HIS DOG CAN’T BE DESCRIBED; BUT ONLY FELT.”

Field training with help using homing pigeons or quail available for purchase.
Whether you are focused on hunting with your dog, field trials or just sharpening your puppy’s natural instincts, this program for hunting breed puppies ages 4+ months old will set them up for success as a future hunting partner and family dog!
Your puppy will be staying at our home as one of our dogs and will be introduced to crate training, will learn the basic commands such as sit, down, stay, “place,” and basic house manners. Your puppy will be out and about with us, going to dog-friendly stores and restaurants and out on the field where they will be introduced to birds (pigeons, quail, pheasant, ducks).
For dogs 6 months or older, this two-month program will be focused on developing your gundog’s natural ability while continuing to focus on nurturing him or her as a family companion.
We will continue to focus on basic and more advanced obedience like heel, recall, extended stays and distraction training. In the field, there will be increased focus on pointing, searching, retrieving, quartering, water work and other hunting skills utilizing live and/or dead birds with gunshots added over time and as appropriate.
