Although we wish certain timelines could be met, often times a dog's understanding doesn't align with what we may want. They are on their own timeline and sometimes, regardless of a sound training approach, it just takes time. While not all dogs will fit into the "programs" below,  we want to outline the general steps to building each level of retriever.  Contact us for information regarding rates and availability.

One of the most important aspects of having your retriever professionally trained is the hand off at the end of training. Your retriever may be exceptionally talented and trained but without the proper training and consistency from you as a handler and owner, your retriever's skills will begin to erode. Generally after your dog's 1st or 2nd month of training we will begin the process of educating you as a trainer and handler by including you in our regular training. You are welcome to come back after your pup graduates for up to a year for free! Things will always come up and you will ahve questions. We want you to know the answers so come back and train for a tune up!!!

It is very important to us, that we together, take all the steps necessary to meet your expectations for your dog's training. It takes a lot of effort but we send weekly updates on your dogs progress. This ensures that you as an owner know how your dog is  progressing, the difficulties they are experiencing as well as the successes! You being informed about your retriever's progress helps us to make an informed decision on what path is best for your dog based on your goals for them.
