Basic Obedience for All Breeds
A good reason to teach your dog basic obedience is that it creates clear communication and trust, which leads to a safer, happier life for both you and your dog.
Here are the biggest benefits, simply explained:
-
Safety: Commands like sit, stay, and come can prevent dangerous situations, such as running into traffic or approaching unfamiliar dogs or people.
-
Better behavior: Obedience training reduces jumping, pulling on the leash, excessive barking, and other problem behaviors.
-
Stronger bond: Training builds trust and respect, strengthening the relationship between you and your dog.
-
Freedom with control: A well-trained dog can enjoy more freedom at home and in public because they respond reliably.
-
Confidence: Obedience training helps dogs feel more secure by giving them structure and clear expectations.
-
Easier daily life: Walks, vet visits, travel, and social outings become less stressful and more enjoyable.
Basic obedience isn’t just about commands—it’s about creating a well-mannered dog you can confidently enjoy in any situation.
Gun Dog Training
Your dog will begin with a solid foundation in basic obedience before progressing into advanced gundog training over a 5–6 month program.
​
Training is designed to prepare dogs for an AKC Junior Hunter or UKC Started Hunter title, with the expectation that they can successfully pass tests when handled by an experienced handler.
​
Depending on the dog’s needs, training may include hold conditioning/force fetch and e-collar conditioning.
Dogs are trained to be steady to shot, reliably deliver bumpers and birds to hand, and confidently complete single retrieves across a variety of real-world hunting scenarios—both on land and in water.
Advance Gun Dog Training
Do you want to see what your dog is truly capable of?
We offer advanced gun dog training designed to bring out the very best in your retriever. Dogs in this program learn to run multiple retrieves, execute blind retrieves on both land and water, and honor other working dogs in realistic hunting and test scenarios.
​
This level of training represents the pinnacle of gun dog development and requires several months of consistent work, experienced handling, and progressive conditioning to advance your dog to higher levels of performance.
Upon completion, dogs are prepared to compete at the Senior/Seasoned level as intermediate dogs, and Master/Finished level for those pursuing elite performance.
