Started Retriever Training Program

We take retrievers in for training any time after they're six months old.  Many of our clients have already gotten their pups off to a good start with some basic obedience and lots of marked retrieves.  We start a new dog at square one and let him show us what he does and doesn't know.

In his first month, he will be obedience trained, have lots of marked dummy retrieves, and be introduced to both birds, gunfire, and water.   At the end of the first month we will be able to evaluate your dog's ability and more reasonably predict the training level that you may expect your dog to achieve.

Started Dogs-  Started dogs are obedience trained to deliver birds to hand, are reasonably steady, and have had limitless birds thrown for them. They understand hunting scenarios and are ready to start hunting.  It normally takes 3 -4 months to get a pup to this level. Training rates are $700.00 per month.
