Retriever Training

I know that different dogs all learn differently and at their own pace.  You can not always expect the same thing out of each dog.  Each dog learns and progresses at their own speed and I help them with that by instilling confidence and training for success.  Because my dogs are trained this way they love to train and work sometimes too much.  They run with desire and enthusiasm after a bumper or a bird, for a mark or a blind.

I also know that owners like their retrievers are all different, so I offer many different training options. Whatever you are looking for in retriever training I have it. My goal is to create a program that not only will fit the retrievers needs but also the owners. Whether it is sending your puppy away for puppy head start, needing extensive assistance in hunt test training and preparation, or training for your Master Hunter on your own with a little help from a professional dog trainer-I can help.

I offer two comprehensive boarding and training programs at my dog boarding school located at my kennel in Scappoose Oregon, near Portland Oregon.  You can enroll your dog in the 90 day Gun Dog Training Boarding school program or the 90+ day Hunt Test Training Boarding school program.  Additionally, I offer group classes, workshops, private one-on-one lessons and group training days.  All of these options can and will cover all the essentials in preparing your hunting dog for all types of waterfowl hunting,  (duck hunting and goose hunting) upland bird hunting and/or successful Hunt Test Training.  Read more about the different professional retriever training options below then contact me and we can create a plan just for you and your retriever.
