Training and Boarding
OBEDIENCE TRAINING
The obedience program involves the teaching of seven (7) basic obedience commands:
- Heel
- Sit
- Down
- Stay
- Come
- Off
- No
At the completion of Obedience Training, the dog should be capable of recognizing, and properly responding to, these commands.
FORCE FETCH TRAINING
After obedience work is mastered, Force Break (or Force Fetch) training can start. Your dog will learn to retrieve and hold bumpers, and birds, and to deliver them to hand.
FIELD TRAINING
After both Obedience and Force Break Training, Field Training will focus learned skills on retrieve targets (birds and bumpers) on both land and in water. Training progresses from short marks, to longer and multiple marks, to live bird flushing, according to each dog's learning speed.
Charges and fees:
Charges are assessed monthly, and include training, feed, water, daily kennel maintenance, and daily visual health monitoring.
