 Tip of the week

Your dog perceives you as another member of his pack it is widely believed that dogs are descendants of wolves, because both are pack animals with an almost identical social structure. To develop the best possible relationship with your dog you must assume the role as the pack leader. This helps the dog respond, respect and bond to you more quickly.

   Gun Dog Training Classes

Gun Dog Classes beginning Saturday August 23rd, 2008. Location Hubbard Reservoir.

   

Basic Gun Dog Training - Retrievers

Building up a dog's retrieving desire is as important as training.  It's up to the trainer to ask your dog to be obedient & drop the bumper/bird, however it's up to your dog to want to continuously go after the birds in the hunting field.  Our Retriever Gun Dog  program is available to dog 4 months or older.  Your puppy will be exposed to following:  Birds, bumpers, ducks, different types of swimming terrain, decoys, different types of land terrain, introduced to training pistol sounds.  Your young dog will also be exposed to an introduction to obedience.  All retriever young dog work is based on praise and fun. Includes obedience, mouth work, steadiness, and marking singles & doubles up about 100 yards.  Why do we emphasize on marking for young dogs? The marking training teaches a dog not just to use their nose, but to box off areas to hunt productively for retrieves.   The marking training also teaches your dog to push over & through different terrains & hunting scenarios to find a retrieve.

 

 

Basic Gun Dog Training - Pointers / Setters                  

Our "Head Start" program is for young 4-6 month old dogs. We introduce your young dog to birds, pointing, whistles, check cords, field commands and the proper introduction to gunfire. This exposure is for developing your dog's natural instincts and involves no corrections. An extremely important part of a puppies' development is to enjoy all the new hunting experiences without any pressure. We spend time working with you and your dog together. We will instruct you on what to work on and what not to work on at home to prepare your dog for more advanced training. This introductory work is designed to educate your pup on how to get the most out of his or her early sessions during this critical stage of rapid development and lay the foundation for a great hunting dog. A poorly started pup often will be unsuccessful in their later training.
