Buck Country Retrievers

Buck Country Retrievers offers several training programs. The “Bird & Gun Introduction” is a two-week course for puppies as young as 5 months, introducing them to frozen and live clipped-wing birds, and progressing from a starter pistol to various shotguns, aiming to build desire and end with shooting and flushing live flyer birds.

The “Intermediate Training” course provides comprehensive on- and off-leash commands, including “place,” “sit,” “heel,” “down,” and “here” (recall). Force-fetch training is available upon owner request, and dogs are taught “steady to shot” for waterfowl scenarios.

“Shed Dog Training Introduction & Intermediate Shed Dog Training” courses are designed to introduce dogs to antler hunting, focusing on scent recognition and utilizing keen senses to locate antlers independently. The “Obedience Training” is a comprehensive, customizable course covering essential on- and off-leash commands like “place,” “sit,” “heel,” “down,” “off” (for jumping), and “here” (recall), with dedicated lessons for owners to reinforce commands.

Buck Country Retrievers is a dog training business owned and operated by Hunter Demo, who has over a decade of experience as a professional dog trainer. They specialize in training hunting dogs and providing top-tier obedience training for all breeds. Hunter tailors training programs to optimize a dog’s natural instincts for hunting and instill crucial obedience skills, employing proven methods to develop well-rounded hunting companions.

The business prioritizes quality over quantity, limiting the number of dogs in their programs and kennel to ensure each dog receives personalized attention and tailored training plans. In addition to training, Buck Country Retrievers offers overnight dog boarding with options for brush-up training. They also breed a limited number of Labrador retriever puppy litters each year, ensuring all breeding dogs have hip, elbow, and eye clearances through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA), and are cleared of EIC, CNM, and PRA.

Hunter’s dedication ensures dogs not only perform admirably in the field but also exhibit exemplary obedience, making them invaluable partners for their owners. He has successfully trained dogs of various breeds and temperaments, adapting his methods to meet individual needs.
