Training

OUR MISSION

Allowing our bird dogs to reach their full potential by speaking their language during training and handling. For your dog to be successful it is critical you be involved. Your dog is not a machine and needs you to become their leader. It is important you understand your dogs body language and be aware of your own body language. We strive to help you learn to read your dogs language then help you to develop a strong relationship with your dog.

 

INTRODUCTION TO BIRDS AND GUN

This is the ideal way to get that young pup ready for the all important 1st year in actual hunting conditions. Get your young prospect ready for their 1st year in the field. We will work lots of birds and begin to develop your pup prey drive and, start them hunting for and finding birds. We will very carefully and under completely controlled conditions introduce the gun. Thus avoiding the problem of a Gun Shy dog. Most Pointing breeds will begin to hold their points during this series. Most Flushing breeds will begin to search hard and flush game for you.

2-4 WEEKS @ $175.00 PER WEEK

 

FOUNDATION THRU INTERMEDIATE

Would you like to take your dog hunting never having to say anything? Using nothing  but  a soft whistle or a simple silent cue to handle him or her? Avoiding spooking birds and allowing you and your hunting companion to find more birds and enjoy your few days in the field? THIS IS THE PROGRAM FOR YOU!!!!!! This series is the beginning of real training for your bird dog. We will work with your dog using the Silent Command System developed by Delmar, Rick and Ronnie Smith. It is based on teaching using the leader and pack mentality that your dog understands better than any other. Your dog will learn proper healing, whoa and how to work with you. Paying attention to you while using his/her natural instincts to find you birds. They will learn to honor another dogs point, stop to flush, whoa on command while always working forward. They will no longer chase flying birds into the next county and will develop there hunting range based on your desire. Most dogs will be very near completely broke to wing & shot at the end of this program. The graduates of this program are truly amazing to be with and simply a joy to take hunting.
