Training Programs

The Training Program
35+ years of bird hunting and dog training experience utilized in our training methods.
Each dog's training program is individually designed for him.

Orvis Endorsed Training Program

The various program levels are guidelines -
each dog's needs are different and maturity levels vary, which is the reason we believe in the need for adapting the program to the individual.
We do not use heavy-handed methods to train.
Please feel free to call and we'll discuss your dog's needs and his individual program.
