Want to train your retriever, but need a little help?
Our one-on-one training program is designed for those that would prefer to train their dog by themselves, but need some guidance.
Sessions are approximately one-hour long and held once a week at Otter Tail Kennels.
Rates:
Rates are $125 per session.
Rates do not include live birds. Birds will be billed extra.
What is included?
- One free evaluation to determine what the dog already knows and where training needs to begin.
- One session per week.
- Training designed for and around your dog. Sessions may include problem solving, field set-ups for marking, quartering and/or water work.
- We will provide the training aids needed for the sessions, but you will need your own training aids for completing the assigned home work.
What tools do I need to do the training?
We suggest that you have the following:
- Collar
- Chain collar
- Lead
- Dummies
- Electronic Collar
Need some guidance on buying these tools? Give us a call and we can help!
What will a typical session look like?
- You will meet with Steve to review the previous weeks training. Expect to discuss in detail what you worked on, how it went, what problems or issues you experienced. Steve will also answer any questions you have, and he will review your goals for your dog.
- You will then head out to the field to have a short review of the previous weeks training to verify that the dog and owner are on track.
- Then you will start working on new training concepts.
- The session will end with question/answer period where you will be able to clarify any questions you have and Steve will provide the homework for the next week.
