Gun Dog Training

Gun Dog Training is something that is better done right the first time. From starting puppies to advanced field and water work, Rivers Gun Dog Training Schools are designed for the hunter and the Hunt Test enthusiast. Instructed by experienced Field Trial and Gun Dog trainers our two-day school starts with a classroom session covering training equipment, commands and dog psychology. The field work is conducted at our private preserve where, under the guidance of our expert trainers, instruction is tailored to the specific requirement of each dog and handler. This school is for the gun dog and the trainer and will enhance your training relationship.

Our schools will expose your dog to birds, cover ,and scent. All three are key elements in successful gun dog training. As mentioned above each school will be tailored to each individual dog and their specific training needs, this is extremely important in the proper training of a gun dog. Just as important as dog training is proper owner training. Our schools are designed to also enhance your understanding of your dog and it's training needs so that you may continue to successfully train your gun dog at home and in the field.
