Cold Track Retrievers & Training
Advanced Retriever
Our Advanced Retriever Program is what most of our clients choose to have in their blinds each year. They are well started, tons of manners, can work with and without an E-Collar. They are good with other dogs, children and people. This is a dog that is fully polished with retrieving, force fetch, and pressure conditioning. An advanced retriever should have all that the started dog has and an additional 3 months or more of training which include, but is not limited to the following.
* Sit, stay, heel, here, walk on and off leash, collar conditioning, load up, kennel and crate training, intro to live and dead birds, marking singles, taught doubles, marks out to 150 yards on land, marks out to 125 yards on water, marking drills, sit whistle, force fetch and pressure conditioning, gun breaking, multiple guns, 100% steady, no bird training.
Basically, a well-polished young dog that has nice polished manners built in, fully steady, fully gun broke. A dog with lots of consistency that is easy to take home and continue their training if you wish or just take them hunting.
The real reason to have us get your dog to this level in our opinion is for one of the following reasons:
* If you have never successfully trained a dog before or if you just don’t have time to train one properly.
* If you want a dog with a built in off switch
* You want to have a guarantee of what your future dog's desire and personality will be.
* You can take your dog from day one and start working, hunting or having fun.
* You will have a dog with built in manners and full gun breaking.
* If you want to know what you are getting from day one.
* You don't have to worry about your training routine being inconsistent.
* And a ton of other reasons!
If this sounds like what you are looking for, Advanced Retriever Program might be just what you are looking for.
Typical cost for the Advanced Retriever Program is a 3 month program or longer, @ $650 per month. Plus duck fee $15 each, 4 live ducks per month will be shot for your dog if desired.
*Varies in time depending on each individual dog
