Training

Genesis Early Development Program

The beginning of all things training, whether you are looking for a house pet or a hunting partner. Our Puppy Genesis program lays the foundation for a well behaved, well adjusted, and prepared pup that is primed for obedience training and beyond. Your puppy will continue to build on what they experienced through our extensive puppy program to further their confidence using age appropriate socialization and introduction to basic training with behavior molding through fun and engaging methods. This program starts at 8 weeks old and concludes at 16weeks of age. 

Obedience

The foundation of all training, as well as ensuring a well behaved pet companion, is solid obedience. We start all puppy training in the house and move outside when they are ready. Working on- lead with basic commands, and introducing off- lead recall. Basic socialization will be introduced at this level to ensure polite encounters with new and old friends.

Advanced Obedience

Advanced Obedience moves into off- lead and distance obedience, using audio commands and introducing obedience hand signals. As the distance increases between you and your dog, it erodes the control of your dog, leading to frustrating, as well as potentially dangerous situations. Distance Obedience is also included in our Basic Gun Dog Training. 

Basic Gun Dog Training

A well bred retriever is born with the natural instinct to retrieve. Our Basic Gun Dog Training program enhances your puppy's natural retrieving instinct to hone their interest, encouraging them to consistently return the retrieve, deliver to hand, stop/sit on the whistle, and take long distance hand signals and direction. There will also be introduction to gun fire, feathers, water, steadiness to wing and shot (during hunting situations), while working from both land and boat: turning your retriever into a true hunting companion.

Advanced Gun Dog Training

Advanced Gun Dog Training introduces your dog to working on the more technical and challenging aspects of retrieving. We begin to emphasize line manners, honoring and multiple marks, taking your basic hunting dog to a dog that hunts well with multiple hunters and/or hunting dogs in more realistic hunting situations.

Hunt Test Training

We have been in the hunt test game since 2007. We can prepare your dog to run or run your dog for you.
