GUN DOG TRAINING

redmark

The foundation of a good gun dog is sound obedience. This program will start by teaching all basic obedience commands to ensure clear communication skills with your hunting partner. The second phase of training is to teach a firm “hold” command as well as the Trained Retrieve. The remaining time is spent teaching marking skills on land and water in every hunting scenario we can come up with! Upon successful completion of the training program, your hunting companion will have the basic obedience skills hunting, steady and conditioned to sounds of a gun, retrieving marked birds, and delivering straight to your hand.  

This program takes an average of four to six months, although that is completely dependent upon both the dog’s abilities and the finished skill level you desire. Every dog is different and our goal is to work at the pace that best suits them and their learning abilities.

During this time period we will send you updates on their progress as well as offer monthly home visits to give you time to practice their new skills. This is a lot of learning. Not only for the dog, but also for their human! Our goal is to keep you a part of the progress as much as possible to help you learn as well as spend time with your pup.

ADVANCED TRAINING

Advanced training, which includes handling on blind retrieves, diversions, double and triple marks take a lot longer to teach than just basic gun dog. We also compete in the AKC Hunt Tests and can take your dog to and beyond the Junior, Senior and Master levels. For the past several years we have been honored to be invited to compete in the Master National competition. Please talk to our head trainer, Richard Smith, about this sort of competition so he can let your know if he thinks your dog is capable to compete.

All dogs must be fully vaccinated at least 10 days before arrival. This will include Parvo, Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Rabies, Bordetella (Kennel cough) and Flu vaccines. You must also provide monthly Heartworm prevention and one that includes killing of fleas.
