Hunt Training

Puppy Development Program - $250/month

Typically a 1 month program

A well trained hunting dog starts with a well developed puppy. Training puppies needs to be a delicate process as it could make or break a dog. Puppies go through developmental phases and it is important to know those phases when training. Puppies 8-12 weeks old are in the fear impact phase. A puppy can become permanently fearful of anything if not properly introduced. The goal of this program is to have the puppy started in the right direction for advanced training. 

​

Starting age: 10 weeks

​

This program will include:

-Introduction of the gun

-Bird exposure

-Wing drill

-Socialization

-Field work

​

Junior Hunter Program - $300/month

Typically a 2 month program

The Junior Hunter title is awarded once a puppy has shown potential to become a finished dog with proper training. In order to receive the  Junior Hunter title the puppy must receive 4 qualifying scores at an AKC sanctioned hunt test. This can prove to be very daunting. In the Junior Hunt test the judges are looking for four factors: bird finding ability, hunting, trainability, and pointing. Those are the factors that we will work on in the field.

Starting age: 4 months

​

Program will include:

-Introduction to the gun

-Field work

-Bird Exposure

-Building the prey drive
