Training
It is important to remember that each dog learns at his/her own pace and training will be adjusted to your dog's learning speed. Pet parents are to come twice per month to familiarize themselves with the commands and training process. Weekly visits are encouraged
Obedience- Our basic obedience program is a minimum of 6 weeks. During this time we will work on sit, here, heel, down, and p
lace. Your dog will learn the ins and outs of proper obedience and start on its way to becoming a well-behaved companion. Hunting Dog- Our waterfowl hunting dog program is a minimum of three and a half months. Dogs 6 months of age and older. Dogs should be acclimated to swimming, vehicles, boats, gunfire, retrieving, kennel, simple marks, simple lead/leash obedience, feathers, dead birds, and beginning prey drive. In these three and a half months we will build your dog's confidence in retrieving with force fetch, entry water work, and formal obedience. Required Vaccines for Your Dog
Dogs four months of age and older must have up-to-date rabies, distemper, and bordetella inoculations. We recommend the lepto vaccination as well. We require that all dogs have a recent heartworm test prior to arrival. Flea & Tick and Parasite Prevention – we require dogs to be given a flea and tick prevention treatment. If your dog is not currently being treated for fleas and ticks we will provide an 8-month Seresto collar upon check-in for an additional charge. If your dog is not currently on a parasite (de-wormer) preventative, we can administer it monthly. If your dog has worms upon arrival, we will quarantine and treat for the cost of wormer. Nutrition
We feed your dog two meals per day and fresh water is always available. We offer a nutritious kibble-based diet. If you choose to bring your dog’s food from home, we ask that you package and label a month's supply with your dog’s name. Pet Health & Safety
If your dog requires medical attention while in our care, we will let you know right away, and will contact your veterinarian as well as other highly-trained veterinarians in our area. As mentioned above, we will administer flea & tick, parasite preventative, and other medications as needed. Basic grooming will be provided: brushing, nail trims, and baths as needed.
