Gun Dog Training

Introductions to birds, whistle, duck call, blinds, boats and the gun. The dogs learn basic field obedience and quartering drill work. Day trips are included to Cooke Canyon Hunt Club in Ellensberg, Washington for live pheasants, chuckers and quail work.

Electronic Collar Conditioning Introduction

For those who choose to use a collar for their advanced field training, this program is meant to teach you, as the owner, how to use this training equipment in the correct and humane way. I plan to teach humane collar techniques to the owner and make certain the dogs know how to turn off all collar pressure.


AKC Hunt Tests and United Kennel Club (UKC) Hunting Retriever Test (HRT) Competition Training

Specializing in the started dog. Studying to wing and shot, line manners with the introduction to hunt test scenerios and blinds. Beginning handling on Baseball drill and first introduction to sight   blinds progressing to pattern blinds. The dog will learn different commands, how to whistle sit and practice with "T" pattern drill work. Personal coaching for the owners is essential to understanding the rules for running a dog in one of these field events.

Off Lead Field Obedience

The program is designed for those families who own breeds other than hunting breeds. Many people want to take advantage of their local dog parks but have no off lead obedience when it counts. The introduction to water is also available. All breeds are welcome but I specialize in sight hounds.
