High Standards Produce High Performance
Basic Gundog Training This is where the real fun begins for your retriever! Basic Gundog training includes basic obedience, followed by field work with dummies and fresh birds. This level of training is for the outdoorsman who wants a capable and reliable hunting partner for the duck blind and for the upland field, but who doesn't require a dog with advanced training for complex multiple marks or blind retrieves.
Basic gundog training does not include training for blind retrieves, multiple marked falls, diversions, or honoring another working dog. Upon completion of this level of training, your dog will competently handle all basic hunting situations, and will be a fine companion and family member. [ Top Of Page ] [ Training Main Page ]

Our basic gundog program requires three to four months,
depending upon your dog's natural abilities, temperament, and previous training.
Dogs are taught to reliably retrieve a bird that they have seen fall, at
distances in excess of 100 yards in water or on land. They will deliver
birds to hand, including proper delivery from water (deliver before shaking
off). Dogs will be reasonably steady to shot, and will be taught to sit in
a blind and wait to be sent to retrieve. They are introduced to double
marks and quartering within shotgun range. This program includes
collar conditioning, a complete force-fetch detail, and whistle training to
stop/sit and recall.
