Sunny Skies Retrievers offers two main training programs: Basics/Gun Dog Training and Advanced Training.

The Basics/Gun Dog Training covers Formal Obedience, Force Fetch, Collar Conditioning, Singles Off Multi Guns, Lead Steady, and Delivery to Hand.

The Advanced Training program builds upon the Gun Dog basics and is designed for dogs aiming to participate in all levels of AKC Hunt Tests. This program focuses on building marking emphasis with steadiness and willingness to handle on marks (doubles and triples), and mastering blind concepts. Blind concepts include multiple blinds to handle factors like dry shots, old falls, and other diversions, with an emphasis on hunting settings such as game calls, decoys, hidden guns, duck blinds, handler with gun, walk-ups, and honoring.

Testimonials

“Thought you’d like to know how our pup from this breeding is turning out. I’ve owned and hunted with Labs for 50 years. This pup at nine months is outstanding for his age. He’s smart, strong, athletic, friendly with people and other dogs, birdy, takes to training well and would rather train than eat. Also a good house dog. I’d say he’s a credit to his pedigree.”
– Frank Ross
