a successful student in the Gundog and Advanced programs. Available at both locations one in Northern California, located in Sutter and one in South West Montana, located in Twin Bridges.
In Puppy Introduction Training, we concentrate on the “Big Three”; desire to please, desire to retrieve, and getting your pup ready to take the pressure in formal training.

The cost of Puppy Introduction is $24 per day and includes all boarding, food, birds etc.

Gun Dog Training
|
Gundog Training can start as early as 6-8 month and will take approximately 4 months, 3 months without force breaking, delivery to hand. During this phase commands are taught, reinforced and then put together to make an obedient family companion and gun dog, both for duck and upland hunting. Every dog trains differently and will learn at different paces. Dustin Retrievers we will be very sensitive to your dog’s personality and needs. In gun dog training we seldom use the electronic collar, unless the owner already has one. We want to thoroughly teach the commands before enforcing them with the electronic collar.
In Gundog Training your dog will learn obedience; both in the field and at home, develop confidence and “field savvy” through walks and recesses. Go through Force Breaking, (heel, sit and deliver to hand), put his obedience and force in the field with birds, over decoys, both land and water. For those that love to hunt pheasants, their dogs will be taught to quarter and find and retrieve and deliver to hand. The cost of Gun Dog training is $775 a month for the first three months and $700 a month after that and includes all boarding, food, birds etc. Available at both locations one in Northern California, located in Sutter and one in South West Montana, located in Twin Bridges. After your dog goes home from Gun Dog Training there is never a charge for one on one visits or follow up questions. We will do everything we can to help you feel confident about the knowledge you need to work with your dog in the field. It is truly a beautiful sight to see a retriever that has been properly trained to do what he loves in the field. Questions, give us a call. |
