Retriever Training Philosophy

   Our program is tailored to each individual dog, with the owner's goals in mind.   Our training develops a dog's natural talents. We strive to produce dogs that will be "all that they can be", Instilling  confidence, enthusiasm, and reliability.

    Great emphasis is placed on showing and teaching  them as they proceed through training. Our dogs learn through repetition and success, and achieve a clear understanding of what is expected.

    Our training methods are designed to build a solid foundation, using conventional training techniques as well as modern collar methods. The collar is used only to reinforce lessons that have been thoroughly taught and are well understood by the dog.

     We are especially excited about our Field Trial Training program.   We proudly teach advanced work in such a way that our dogs perform with a high level of style, confidence, control, and desire. 

     Our Trial dogs are trained using consistent high standards that achieve quality performances, striving to teach the dogs to think for themselves, with the superior attitudes of Field Trial winners.

     We work with you regularly as your dog progresses.  You and your dog are taught to work as a proficient team, and encouraged to put as much hands-on participation from you as you have time, interest, and ability.
