Our "Young Dog Program" is the foundation on which everything is built. Each step of our program is the building block for the next step. Our competitive dogs as well as hunting dogs receive the same basic training.
A young dog enters this training at 6 months of age. The time to complete varies depending on the dogs ability to learn. When this program is completed next comes the transition from basics to field. This is when the fun begins. Using the tools we put in will allow the dog to advance to the desired level.
Marking is a big part of our training for a young dog. Running marks during the basic training is a must. We teach all of our young dogs to go long because that is a skill that must be taught to the young. If we could pick one thing that makes our program a success....We use a teaching approach to all skills taught. Never punish and always teach!
