TRAINING
   
We train from bird introduction and basic obedience to advance handling and steady to wing and shot. While here your dog will be fed the required protein and fat contents it needs to remain healthy and fit. We have been running APLA and AKC tests for 16 years with a high pass rate which is important. Whats even more important to us is that the dogs we campaign run with high desire and style!!

Not all dogs learn at the same rate, some learn faster than others. For this reason, we can not tell you exactly how long it will take to get your dog to complete the program.


Not all dogs have the capacity to complete an advanced level of training. If we feel your dog won't efficiently complete the program, we will contact you and talk about your options.


All animals WILL be on heart worm preventative and flea and tick preventative while at our facility. We will provide the medication and add the cost to your monthly bill.


You will be billed monthly at the end of each month.  
Your dog must have shot records present upon drop off. Veterinary services are the owners responsibility for injury or illness of your dog.

-         Bi Weekly progress updates are provided


Please take a look at the training land that we have access to ! We feel we can teach any concept hunting or hunt test wise with these pieces. While your dog is here they will get several looks retriever and upland wise. Contact us if you have any questions we can do customized programs to fit your training needs! We have many references and believe our record speaks volumes !

Troy
I wanted to say thank you for all the hard work with Mays.  After doing the early bird work and getting her CPR title in the fall of 2010 I turned Mays over to Troy and Northstar.  Mays arrived at “College” in April of 2011 and received her APR title about 7 weeks later at the Alexandria, South Dakota APLA test.  That summer Troy continued to work with Mays and she went 4 for 4 earning her Junior Hunter title.  Mays also earned three passes towards her Senior Hunter title that summer including passing a crazy hard test in Glyndon, Minnesota in 95 degree heat.  Mays and Troy capped off their 2011 hunt test season with a Master Pointing Retriever pass in Webb, Iowa.  All in all, 2011 was a dream season and we couldn’t be happier with the progress Mays has made.  We look forward to Mays passing on her great skills with her first litter as the foundation female for our kennel.  We are also excited for her to run for her Senior Hunter and Grand Master Pointing Retriever Titles in 2012 with Troy and Northstar!  Thanks again for the wonderfully bred and trained dog.  We look forward to working with you in the future.
