High Standards Produce High Performance
Training For Hunt Tests Hunt test training is a specialized program that prepares your dog to successfully campaign for AKC Junior Hunter, Senior Hunter, and Master Hunter titles. The program builds upon the skills learned throughout our obedience and gundog training programs to refine your dog's performance specifically for the demands of each level of hunt test title.
The Master Hunter campaign is not for all dogs. If a Master Hunter title is your goal, let us offer you a candid assessment of your dog's capacity for this level of training and preparation, after we complete his Senior Hunter training and achieve his Senior title.

Junior Hunter and Senior Hunter titles can be earned as your dog
progresses through our gundog programs. We like to know in advance of
completing basic gundog training, that you may be interested in attaining hunt
test titles. By knowing in advance, we will emphasize those aspects of
gundog training that are particularly critical to hunt test judging, while
gundog training is in progress. This will minimize the amount of
additional training time needed to prepare your dog for his title campaign.
Master Hunter title preparation demands that all of the skills
learned in advanced gundog be refined to the extreme extent needed to attain
this most demanding and discriminating level of hunting title. A Master
Hunter must demonstrate the ability to handle very technical multiple marks
through dense cover, water, and formidable terrain while avoiding diversions.
He must handle blind retrieves with precision under all conditions, run accurate
straight lines, and under all circumstances maintain control. Hunt test
judging at this level is critical not only of the dog's individual performance,
but of his ability to work as a team member with his handler.
