Retriever Training
Retriever Training
Through incredibly detailed training we craft highly intelligent and trustworthy retrievers that are ready for any waterfowl hunt you throw at them. This training produces retrieving and handling ability that leaves people speechless. It creates a level of skill most of the outdoor community does not know duck dogs can attain.
Dogs of any age, skill level, and breed are welcome. We get your retriever ready for it all. Rivers, big marsh, lakes, ponds, potholes, field hunts, swamp holes, flooded timber. Puddle ducks, sea ducks, big ole geese and divers. Out of blinds, stands, boats, kayaks, and canoes. Pup won't be fazed by a late season snowstorm and will even be able to roll out of bed and leave that "one" judge speechless at a hunt test.
Training ranges from introduction to advanced for the following retriever milestones:
Single, double, triple, quadruple, and group shooting retrieves. All up to 500 yards. Blind retrieves and blind multiples up to 500 yards. Advanced marking. Handling, casting, and hunting scenario angle backs. Collar conditioning (if requested) and gun conditioning.
Training is done in ALL weather, temperatures, and environments. Anywhere ducks are found, your dog will know how to work the terrain. All retrievers are trained through many different spreads of decoys and silhouettes. Yes, this even includes long lines.

This is the only Retriever training in North America that's designed for true waterfowl hunting. That's designed to create world class guide dogs. The same discipline and talent as world champion retrievers. All the same bells and whistles, but with the ability to apply it on a stormy bay in December. We create unbelievable HUNTING retrievers that eat chop and don't loose cripples. This isn't just farm ponds, blanks, and frozen birds. This 12 gauges, swamps, salty frost bites and muggy rivers banks.
