Head Start Class
* Head Start Program
is designed for pups 5 months of age and up. This program will consist
of starting your pup off with a tremendous amount of bird exposure to
solidify their natural point. They’ll gain a lot of experience working released birds in hunting conditions.
* We begin the program with the
proper introduction to gunfire. Once we have your youngster comfortable
with the gun, we’ll then move to the water to familiarize them with
decoys and water retrieves. After we have them gun broke and water
retrieving, we’ll then move them into the field portion of their
development and begin their e-collar conditioning program.* Head Start is designed to help you and your pup develop into a successful hunting and retrieving team.
* The cost is $800.00 for the four week program, due when you drop off your pup. Dogs stay at the kennel during their training and are housed in individual runs. We feed Prism Performance, twice a day, which is a top rated dog food and is suitable to meet the needs of your active, growing puppy. Your one on one, pre scheduled, owner training session is included in the fee. The pups are worked individually and their training starts on the day following their arrival.
* At the end of four weeks when you come to pick up your dog, we will spend approximately an hour working with you and your dog together. We will instruct you on what to work on at home to prepare your dog for more advanced training. This training is designed to educate you on how to get the most out of your early training sessions with your pup, during this critical stage, of rapid development.
* Often, poorly started pups will be unsuccessful in their later training.
* Our released chukars/pigeons will be included in the cost of the program.
