Dog Training

CUSTOM BUILDING BLOCKS

Do you want your dog introduced to all the basics so that you can continue his/her training on your own time?

Do you want to finish most of your dog's training, but you don't want to tackle the serious job of force fetch or orderly retrieve, yet you know that this skill is vital to your dog's success over his career in retrieving birds?

This program is very popular because once the basics and foundation are in place, you can take over and have the satisfaction that comes from training your own dog. Options include basics or retrieving, trained retrieve (force fetch) or orderly retrieve process TM for all gundog breeds, and custom work.

Choose your fancy.
