Gun Dog Programs

Train the Trainer Gundog Program:

We will meet you in the field once every other week for a 45 minute session and demonstrate to you and your dog different commands (kennel, whoa, here, come around, alright). We will put your dog on birds. You will then be required to work on the command until the next visit. Upon the next visit we can address any problems that may have arisen or continue on to a new command.

Session Rate $75

Monthly Gundog Training Program:

You can drop off your dog for a month at a time and we work with the dog on a daily basis. We will work on the following commands; kennel, whoa, come around, alright and here. Depending on where your dog is in his training will dictate how long the yardwork will take. Once the dog knows the above commands we can start the collar conditioning part of our program. Once the dog is conditioned we will start to get them steady to wing, then shot. How long all of this takes depends on your dog. We can work on just one part of the program if your dog is more advanced.

Monthly Rate $500 (this includes boarding & birds)

Pet Purchasing Assistance

Before You Purchase a Family Pet

All too often people rush into purchasing a cute lovable puppy or dog just to find out it wasn’t exactly what they wanted. Whether it grows up to be to big, too high strung, not good with kids, etc.

Before you make that commitment and purchase a puppy or dog that will be a major part of your family for the next 10 – 15 years, we can help you find the right fit for you and your family. We can help with selection of breed, quality of pedigrees, temperaments of dogs and what you should expect from your new family member.

We will meet with you and your family to talk about what kind of dog you would like to have. We will then assess the living arrangements, work schedules and time available to be spent with the dog. Once we have gathered all of the information, we will generate a written report in which we will recommend several breeds of dogs that fit your lifestyle.

Once you have decided on a particular breed we will recommend several high quality breeders that produce some of the finest puppies available.

Price $150

If you prefer to adopt a pet from an agency we can help you pick out a new family pet and do a complete evaluation on the dog you select before you purchase it. This will help avoid bringing it home only to find out it is not what you wanted.

Price $100
