Goosebuster Retrievers

Goosebuster Retrievers offers intensive, immersion-based training programs where dogs are boarded and trained on-site. Programs include obedience, behavior modification, hunting, retriever, pointer, and puppy developmental training. Training is structured and emphasizes leadership, prey drive, and correction-based methods. Programs are not weekly or group-based but are full-time, residential programs.

Goosebuster Retrievers specializes in immersion dog training, where dogs are boarded and trained on-site over a period of time. They offer training for a wide range of dogs including gun dogs, retrievers, pointers, aggressive dogs, puppies, and pet dogs. Services include obedience training, behavior modification, AKC field training basics, hunting dog training, and puppy developmental programs. Their approach emphasizes structured training, leadership, prey drive, and the use of tools like e-collars and corrections. They provide extensive educational content on topics such as force vs. correction, stress in training, and K9 communication. Training is delivered at their facility and they serve clients across a broad geographic region including Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Nevada, California, Pennsylvania, and Alberta.

They also offer resources like training videos, articles, and a retriever journal article by Butch Goodwin. Their focus is on producing productive, well-behaved dogs through intensive, immersive programs rather than weekly group classes.
