SKOOKUM CREEK RETRIEVERS OFFERS
RETRIEVER TRAINING
Our started gun dog program can take 3-6 months and includes on and off-leash obedience, collar conditioning to the basic commands, force fetch and hold. Your dog will be reasonably steady on single simple water and land marks, and retrieve to hand.
Our seasoned program will focus on starting your dog handling on land and water blinds along with double retrieves and honoring. Along with reinforcing all the above in our started program and depending on the dog. This program can take another 3 to 6 months.
Our Finished program continues focusing on refining the blind skills and more complicated multiple retrieves.
Dogs that have not been through our started program will need to be evaluated to ensure he or she has the skills to move on to the seasoned, finish programs. Your dog not having all the basic skills does not mean your dog can’t advance with us; we may just need to back up a little and make sure that your dog has a good foundation of the basics before advancing. For the hunter that gets busy during the summer with vacations and work, we take a limited amount of dogs for preseason tune-ups and conditioning. The time of stay with us can depend on you and your dog’s needs. Dogs that have been through our programs receive space priority.
