Perfection Kennels

Perfection Kennels offers four main training programs: The 30-day Puppy Program introduces pups 4–6 months old to birds, gun acclimation, electronic collar use, and basic commands like HERE and name response—without teaching WHOA. The 3-month Finish Program builds on this foundation, teaching HEEL, WHOA, steadiness to wing, shot, and fall, and introduces backing. Retrieve Training (4–6 weeks) focuses on reliable retrieving using low-pressure methods. The Gun Shy program uses positive association to correct fear of gunfire, with no fixed timeline and a two-week trial evaluation. Seminars and clinics are offered nationwide for owners seeking to learn training techniques. Summer Camp takes dogs to North Dakota for wild bird exposure in late summer.
