Dog Training Methodology
Methods:
- ✓ Balanced Training
The dog training program is an 8-week intensive duration focused on bird and guns introduction. Dogs should be 6 months of age or older to participate.
The training includes force fetching the dog to achieve a finish to heel, deliver, and hold. A key aspect of their training philosophy is that owners are required to come out weekly for sessions, allowing the trainers to train the owners as well.
