Puppy Training

Start young and start right.

We start puppy lessons at 12 weeks of age as this is when good habits start and the bond between pup and handler develops. At this early stage we focus on training the handler to produce positive association with recall, heel work, retrieve drive, and whistle commands.

Starting off at a young age helps us to avoid common pitfalls such as “pulling on the lead”, “running up to strangers”, and “running off”.  In our experience, getting the basics right at puppy stages prevents what most people refer to as problems in the “teenage phase” later on.

Whether you are aiming for a fully trained gundog or a well behaved family pet, these first steps are identical and our puppy training program will set you on the path to success.
