TRAINING

Training services:

On a limited basis, I am offering the following training for your dog.

Introductory program: I will introduce your dog to birds, gunfire and retrieving, basically laying the foundation needed for a fun, safe and successful hunt.

AKC Hunt Test for Retrievers: I have had some real fun and real success taking an older dog and putting that title on the other end of the name. Last summer I had Jerry (see our boy’s page) here at Birdstone. When Jerry first arrived he had never picked up a bird, swam in a pond or even done an off-leash recall. By the end of the summer, he had his JH. He’s now a CH. JH.!

The amount of time it takes does depend on your dog’s natural ability and desire. Call or e-mail me for my currant rate.
