Our puppy program is truly immersive and is focused on developing a confident, stable, and social companion. We believe that the foundation for every well-behaved and trainable dog is rooted in what you expose them to at a young age. This period is irreplaceable in developing their confidence, social skills, and learning ability. Our program has developed multiple hunting companions and police K9s all over the country. From searching for explosives at the White House, on patrol with law enforcement, and multiple successful hunting companions

Confidence wherever they go ◦ We expose them to multiple stores, playgrounds, town squares, nature parks, heavy traffic, and other areas. Making it a positive experience.

Social skills with other dogs – While here they will have the opportunity to play with multiple other dogs.

Basic obedience – They will learn basic obedience such as recall, sit, down, kennel, place, and walking on a leash.

Retrieving – Every day, multiple times a day we will play fun games of fetch with your pup. Working on both handler-thrown items and bird-boy-thrown marks.

Targeting and Marking Drills – Developing these skill sets at a young age makes a tremendous difference in the future of your Birddog. Teaching how to look out into the distance for a mark or lining up for a blind. We follow Pat Nolan’s ‘Pup to Retriever’ program for this. It is the BEST program we have found in developing young bird dogs.

Bird Exposure – We have access to quail, chucker, and pigeons year-round. You can’t make a bird dog without birds, so we make sure they see plenty while here.
