Our Basic Gun Dog Program is our most popular program for dog as young as 6 months of age.
The first two months of the Gun Dog Program follows the Obedience Training Program with the addition of the "fetch", “hold”, and “drop” commands. To “hold” until told to “drop” is an important step as it prevents the dog from playing with or eating your birds.
Next, the program takes everything your dog has learned previously and applies it into the field. We will start out teaching simple land and water marks. The goal is then to expose your dog to as many different hunting scenarios as possible including duck stands, momarsh huts, and also how to hunt "dead" in cover. Your dog will begin to grasp an understanding of how to be a great retriever and team player.
Your dog will remain steady at your side until sent to retrieve, deliver the birds back to the heel position, and hold until told to "drop".
Upon completion of this program your dog will be qualified to run AKC Junior and UKC started Hunt tests.
This program includes Purina Pro Plan dog food and birds.
