As a dog lover and avid sportsmen I have spent my whole life around hunting retrievers. My early experience stems from the first Platte Valley Retrievers, a large kennel my parents operated throughout the 90's. They specialized in well bred retrievers including Labradors, Chesapeake's, and Golden's. My passion for working with these animals grew over time and now I am doing it professionally. The
facilities are safe, clean, and about 30 yds from my house so the dogs are under constant supervision. I specialize in gun dog training and hunt test training. Basic gun dog training is a minimum of four months, maybe longer depending on the individual dog. By the end of the training program the retriever will be obedient to the command and to the whistle. They will retrieve marked birds up to 100 yds away and will deliver them to hand. They will also be able to pass a HRC Started Hunt Test. My fee is $650/month for a minimum 4 month training program.
