This course is designed to help you build a strong foundation for your new gun dog puppy. We believe that building an ACTIVE, EAGER, BOLD and CONFIDENT training partner is the first step towards having a great hunting dog.
The material is laid out in a simple step-by-step, easy to understand progression. The more you focus on your foundation work now before moving onto more challenging processes, the better off you will be.
The program is organized to allow you and your puppy to begin the development process from Day 1. Whether you have a retriever, spaniel or pointing dog. Our goal is by the end of this course for you to feel empowered to pursue more advanced training with your gun-dog.
Skills and concepts covered:
