                                                                                                        Foundation Program                                                                                                          

The foundation program is intended to jump start the natural  instinct bred within every hunting dog, ideally  for pups between the age 6~12 month but some dog can start as early as 4 month old. We begin the course by building a solid relationship with your dog before introduction to the basic obedience training, from there we teach them the skill to find bird, hunt-to-the-front and building self-confidence for the game, it never take long before they make connection to the beauty of the country, objectives we encounter when we are out hunting and they learn how to negotiate these obstacles such as crossing a creek, go under a barbwire fence etc. It's through repetitive exposure in these natural setting, they become skilled at working the wind and seek covers  where birds are likely to hold. As we progress birds are introduced in natural settings with added gun fire to break to shot. At the end of their program, we have a dog that will hunt with you and come when called, they will be enthusiastic about hunting for the gun, they will point and hold, gun broke and showing  self-confidence taking the field. You may ask what makes our program unique- Our program emphasis on out bring the natural physical and mental ability in each pup for the advanced training, the entire course is build on teaching the pup how to succeed, taking advantage each spirited first-encounter making sure it's  always a positive experience. The entire course is carried out without pressure, so the pup can  train not knowing they are being taught and learning "how-to-learn" from the start to finish, our goal is set each pup down the correct learning path with a perfect start, building the solid foundation for future success and inspire their desire to please human that will last a lifetime. The program is 4 weeks long, fee is $550+  birds.

Good bird work by highly trained, well polished bird dogs make every moment in the field a rewarding one. On those perfect day, your dog can zero-in on a bird and remain motionless and steady on point, you can just sense his intensity and confidence. Such a challenging task call for trusted training from a trusted trainer. If you take a look in my field trial string I believe you'll agree these are not your typical birddogs. You probably noticed each dog clear exhibits my unique trademark -- breathtaking style, that's a direct result of the gentle hands approach in training. Each building block in this accelerated program is demonstrated through exposure, understanding and repetition to a level these conditioned-response become the second nature of each dog. This is the reliable way developing dogs remain spirited and posses that unquenchable desire to find birds. After you select me as your trainer, we will first discuss our goals, through the conversation, I can gain a firm understanding of what we need to accomplish prior to the start, whether it's your versatile hunting companion or field trial contenders; I always devote my trusted efforts in develop each dog to their fullest potential, the end result is a dog that you will be proud of, one leave your hunting buddies envy. When your dog is ready for the next level of training, this is where they belong. From casting to the front to turning on a dime, steady-to-wing & shot and retrieve-to-hand, this course is the complete spectrum of advance training. Our success is measured in every dog. The approach I take in developing a competition dog and hunting dogs are nearly identical, only difference being the range hunting from the handler. If you are sick of the same poor results, then you owe it to your dog, it's time to make that change. We are setting the standards for the  competitions and make no mistake, my efforts is often copied but rarely duplicated. The average take 60~90 days to complete this program. Monthly fee is $550 + birds.

                                                                                                              Forced Retrieve                                                                                                               

Retrieve-to-hand is the finishing touch of every birddog. The one thing is certain, nearly every hunting story told implicating a down bird that got away, always ends with ” I only wish my dog would retrieve”. It may sound humorous, but it often be the difference between having a tasty bird supper or sucking cup-o-noodle for the night. Fortunately, this area of training happen to be  one of our specialty, in facilitating dogs lacking in instinct in this area , they can be corrected with trained retrieve or commonly known as the "forced retrieve". In our program, dogs are taught refusal is not an option, further with positive and constructive reinforcement, they are conditioned to open their mouth, reach, pick up and hold  for the object presented in front of them, best of all, they   do it with confidence, whether is fur or feather. Follow by extensive drills in mocked hunting scenario to further develop the skill to mark and track down birds.  In completion what we have is a dog that will rush to a bird, retrieve and deliver to hand, while showing all the enthusiasm as they have been doing it naturally all their life. If you have a good dog, give it a chance, allow us to put that finishing touch with trained retrieve. We also offer an advanced program where they can further develop water retrieve and trailing skills to improve the ability of recover downed game. Though, every dog is different, it takes the average dog about 30 days to complete this program, fee is $550 monthly plus birds. Based on my experience, 99.9% of the dogs finish within the 30day period, in case you have a "non-typical", you will be notified well in advance.
