Pointing Lab Training -From the leading trainer in country.
Experience and results. We have hunted over dogs for over thirty five years. We have trained many different breeds of dogs including retrievers,flushers,and pointers. We have trained pointing labs competitively and at the highest levels in the AKC, APLA and HRC. We specialize in pointing lab training. This diverse training experience has taught us a great deal about how dogs think and learn. We have watched, listened and learned from them. We believe this has help evolve our training approach into a very effective process. One that not only allows us to effectively train but to teach in a way the dogs want to learn. We set dogs up to succeed by motivating them to learn and creating what we call a success cycle. We motivate them to learn. Gary takes a personal interest in all of his clients and their dogs. He actually returns phone calls and emails. A common issue with some trainers. When you call we will discuss your specific needs and suggest a training process to meet those needs. We keep our numbers to a reasonable amount so that all the dogs get the training they need. Gary does all the pointing lab training himself. We do it right, with results, consistently. Call us to discuss your needs and goals for your dog. We want to mention a several other resources for training through our kennel. One of them is our new DVD training series Training The Pointing Retriever. We put this DVD together for the owner who wants to learn how to train their own dogs. It is the only DVD available today on how to train the pointing retriever. It is five and a half hours of instruction on four DVD’s. It covers all of the essential concepts on how to build a strong foundation with your dog and then how to transition to the field to hunt. It also covers one of the common missing links of many videos or seminars. How to think and communicate like a dog. We offer one on one training at our location for those that want to work face to face with a pro trainer. We are also looking at offering one on one support over the phone. We will be producing several short articles and videos that owners will be able to access on line. Once again we lead the way in providing several training resources for pointing retriever owners that want to become better owners,handlers and trainers of their dogs.
One-on-one Training Sessions
We offer two types of one on one personal trainer coaching. On site face to face with Gary and one on one support on the phone.
On Site Pointing Lab Training
This personal pointing lab training coaching session is scheduled. Typically it lasts about 30 minutes long. The initial session is an overall evaluation of where your dog is at intheir training process and to access your training experience. Then the goals for the dog are clearly defined by the owner. A training plan approach is recommended and discussed that will identify the concepts necessary to accomplish the tasks that are required to meet the goals for the dog. The handler/ trainer will be presented, through demonstration,the methods to use to accomplish the desired tasks. The handler/trainer will be given several things to work on with their dog. When the handler/trainer has learned how to effectively apply the concepts taught and the dog is responding well then the Handler/trainer schedules another session to review the progress and if ready move onto the next step in the training. As with many things what you put in will determine what you and your dog will get out of you pointing lab training sessions. The fee for this coaching is $50 per 1/2 hour session.
Remote Phone Support
This coaching is in the development phase and when implemented will be on a trial basis. It will take some tweaking over time as it is implemented in order for it to be functional.There will be a limited number of time slots available each week. I will post more details as they are determined. This process is similar in many respects to the on site training. The goals for the dog with the handler/trainer are identified. The approach to the training is recommended. If possible a short video will be sent to the coach to demonstrate where the handler /trainer and the dog is in the training process. Recommendations will be given on how to proceed with training after reviewing the video. All of the video must be in a standard format that a PC or Mac can display. The video should be compressed as small as a file as possible to ensure download time is minimal. Call for more information on Pointing Lab Training via phone support.
