We understand that the best way to enjoy your dog is to have it behaved. We offer Obedience training for your pups. This is a 10-14 day long board & train program. We know it’s hard to think about your best friend leaving you, so we try to get As much as we can done in a short time.

1. How to walk on a lead

2. Place training 

3. Sit/Stays

4. Here

5. Off Lead Heel

6. How to behave in the house

7. How to behave in public 

By the time your pup goes back home, you will have a manageable dog that you can enjoy having around. 

The Gun Dog Program is the program most hunters choose for their dogs.

We start out the program with all Basic Obedience. 

We then overlay all of the Basic Obedience with an E Collar to really clean up everything for “off lead control”.

After that we go straight into a Force Fetch program.  

And when force fetch is completed, we then teach basic casting.

During the Basic Gun Dog Program we run your dog from a place board, MoMarsh Invisilab, boat & a Heel Position.   

We also condition your dog to gunfire, so that they can be shot over.   We introduce both dead and live birds to your dog.
We steady them to a mark, gun fire & sending another dog.   All dogs are trained to Sit & Here with whistle commands.

All dogs that go through our Basic Gun Dog Program will pass a Started or Junior Hunt Test.

We pretty much cover everything from the Gun Dog Program.  But we get a little more “technical”.

Tighter Obedience. For our hunt test dogs, we take a little bit more time than we do with the Gun Dogs while training obedience. There are a few things that we need absolutely 100% solid to run a dog in a test. 

Just like in the Gun Dog Program, we teach your dog how to run a blind. However, with the Gun Dog Program we allow them to become self sufficient if they smell the bird. (Because the faster they get the bird, the faster they can get back.) In the Hunt Test Program, we don’t allow them to become self sufficient at all and train them how a judge wants to see them.

In the Gun Dog Program, most of our clients that hunt do not care if a dog runs around the edge of the bank of the pond. A dog wants to run the fastest way there & back. And while hunting, we allow the fastest route so that they can be back quick. However, while running a hunt test they are not allowed to cheat the banks. They must take straight lines. So we teach them to take the straight lines.

Harder marks. When we train a hunting dog, we still like to throw challenging marks. But we typically won’t throw much over 100 yards (unless the owner asks for it because they plan on hunting in large open fields, typically goose hunts). Our Hunt Test Dogs get more challenging marks. Some will be into cover, some through cover, some across the bank of the pond, in-line marks, and further marks. We also teach them how to run a walk up & walk out mark.

While hunting, must if the time you just throw up and shoot a gun. So we typically don’t teach a dog how to turn with a gun. But with our hunt test dogs, we use a gun to show them where their next mark will come from. So we teach them how to turn into the gun and away from the gun.

The whole time they are here, we make it as fun as possible.
