Retriever Training Classes
January 20, 2010 by Jeff Fuller
We are proud to announce the start of retriever training classes held by Soggy Acres Retrievers on our properties starting this Spring 2010.
We have long been asked to help in the training of the Labrador Retrievers we sell. Due to our kennel size we are unable to take dogs in for full service training. At the request of some of our clients we have decided to start retriever training classes that will meet once per week. There will be two different classes to start:
The first will be titled “The Hunting Puppy.”
This three week course will center on obedience and early training a puppy needs prior to formal gundog training. We will take 8 handlers with retriever pups under the age of 6 months. Each handler will be taught the concepts of training a young pup and techniques to prepare their puppy of adulthood and formal gundog training.
The second course offered will be titled “Basic Gundog Training.”
This will be a 6 week course where your dog is taken from a pup, to a Gundog. We will teach the concepts in obedience, force fetch, collar conditioning, Marking, Quartering and Flushing, and end with field work and live birds. This will be hands on with only 6 handlers and dogs being accepted for each class.
Our classes will be held on our properties in Southern WI, in town of Delavan. We have some of the most diverse property at our disposal, including 43 acres and 6 different ponds.
There will be training equipment needed during the course of the school. We do sell all of the needed equipment and will give a 5% discount on listed prices for all class registrants.
These classes should fill up fast once we have the dates set. Please contact us if you have any questions about the training classes or the equipment you may need.
