Advanced gun dog program

Our Advanced Gun Dog Training Program is designed for dogs that have already developed a strong foundation in obedience and gun dog work and are ready to advance their skills to the highest level.

Building on everything covered in our Gun Dog Training Program, dogs learn advanced handling techniques that allow them to retrieve birds they did not see fall, respond reliably to whistle commands, and follow hand signals over long distances. These skills are essential for successful blind retrieves, advanced waterfowl hunting situations, and upper-level hunt tests.

Training focuses on developing a dog's confidence, responsiveness, and consistency while preparing them for the challenges of Senior and Master level hunt tests. Dogs are exposed to increasingly difficult scenarios, including multiple marks, advanced retrieves, and complex handling situations designed to sharpen their skills and decision-making.
