Retriever Training Classes
Waterdog Specialties retriever training programs have three six (6) week retriever training classes to give you a better knowledge of dog handling and training. We will be offering Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced retriever training classes to enable you to fit the level of training with the ability of your dog.
The Basic retriever training class is for the dog and handler with limited exposure to training and hunting conditions. This class is not merely for puppies but also for older dogs with limited training experience. The class will cover the necessary basics needed to develop a strong foundation for further training and field work. Important introductions will be covered that are needed for both Upland and Waterfowl hunting.
Basic Training Includes:
- Birds on land and water
- Decoys on land and water
- Guns introduction
- Proper training equipment
- Obedience techniques
The Intermediate retriever training class is for the dog and handler that are already experienced and have a grasp on the items covered in the Basic Training class. This will be for further advancing field and water skills in retrieving and quartering work.
Intermediate Training Includes:
- More advanced retrieves
- Utilization of cover and structure changes
- Steadiness and control
The advanced retriever training class is for the dog and handler that want to reach top performance!
