HUNTING DOG DEVELOPMENT AND HUNTING DOG TRAINING

We work towards each of these behaviors. Each dog learns at their own pace and there is no guarantee that we can achieve everything listed here, but we do our best to work with your dog's ability. 

• Develop here, handling in the field, and kennel with positive reinforcement, collar conditioning, and many other methods
• Bird and gun introduction
• Develop Steady to wing (point and hold until you flush the bird)
• Develop retrieving
• Water Intro

TRAINED RETRIEVE PROGRAM

8-10 weeks long

Dogs who have been through at least one hunting season with having hunted over 10 days are perfect for this program

This is an intensive program incorporating positive and correction based learning to develop a solid retrieve to hand from your dog.  We use methods to encourage your dog TO WANT to do the task and how to respond when they don't.  E-collar and how to respond is taught as well.  We also teach you how to handle your dog.

We train dogs for each portion of the NAVHDA Utility and Invitational Test.  I've trained and personally handled over 25 dogs in NAVHDA Utility with most of them being vizslas.  We have the expertise and working knowledge to train your dog to its fullest potential to secure a title.  And if at any time we don't see the potential to score a prize, we are open and honest with you about which venues are the best for your dog.
