Our Training Program
- Socialized: The puppy has been socialized as he/she is raised with the Anderson family and taught manners and good disciplines. These puppies have a great personality.
- Birds: The pup will be worked on birds, to ensure that he/she is birdy and bring out the prey (bird) drive in the pup.
- Gun shot: The pup will be conditioned to the noise of the gun, starting from a training pistol and working up to various gauges of shotguns.
- Obedience: We will start them on knowing voice, whistle commands on Come, Heel, Whoa, Kennel, along with the other commands needed in the field. Includes handling in the field.
- Hunt & find game: The puppy starter gun-dog he/she will have been started on quartering (turning) the ground looking and finding game.
- Point & hold game: Along with this the gun-dog will be started on pointing & holding the birds.
- Retrieve to hand: He/she will be started on picking up your shot birds and bring back to hand. We try to get the gun-dogs to naturally retrieve.
- More Advance Training: We will work with the owner to bring his/her gun-dog to the dogs full potential.
