Thursday Class starting on June 24th is full.
Wednesday Class starting on June 23rd has one opening.

Three day workshop from July 16th thru 18th there are four openings.

We just opened up the six week class on wednesday and only have one spot left. We also just posted the workshop a week or so ago and have it half filled……long story short…..dont wait too long if you want to get your hound in the class. I will also have several slots available for those without dogs in each class for half price.

These classes will be taught in a group atmosphere and focus on getting your retriever to a basic gundog level. The class goal is to give clear instruction on everything in the course outline. All demonstrations will be taped and put in a youtube account for you to review once the class is over.

If you are seriously looking to learn the proven training techniques we have used at Soggy Acres Retrievers with our Labrador Retrievers dont miss out on our class!

I may add an August workshop if we have enough interest as well.

Feel free to call me with any and all questions about our Basic Gundog Training classes and workshop. Attached is the flyer with outline for the course.

We then embarked on training techniques that took you from a pup to a started gundog. Our labrador retriever stud Rommel did great as our stand in for training techniques.

We covered a lot in a short time. If you were in attendance and have questions shoot me an email and Ill try to answer them for you. I really did enjoy the opportunity to share my knowledge and provide advice to all!

The banquet was a blast as well. Robyn and I met a bunch of fun people and ended up spending some money during the auctions. I hope everyone got a great laugh at my wife bidding higher on the Canada fishing trip we bought….even when we were already high bid!

Thanks again to Kevin Wallenfang and the Pheasants Forever Organization in the State of WI.

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.
