Each dog learns at a different pace. We work through patience and attrition. Some dogs will advance in different parts of training at different speeds.
As a general outline:
- Obedience Training takes approximately six to eight weeks depending on each dog.
- Gun Dog Training takes approximately six months.
- Advanced Hunt Test Training takes approximately four more months depending on the level of advanced training desired. The more advanced the training the more time is invested.
Yes!
Both are encouraged. You don’t have to train with your dog to come and visit your dog.
- All dogs must have current vaccinations including the Bordetella virus vaccine (Kennel Cough)
- A current negative intestinal parasite check / exam
- Heartworm and flea / tick preventative
- All documentation must be on vet stationary
- Collar
- Health Records
- We feed Purina Pro Plan and feed is included in the monthly fee. If you wish your dog to eat a different feed, you will need to bring that with you at the time of drop off.
There are different times in the training that your dog will need to stay with us at StormRyder Kennels and many opportunities for your dog to go home for weekend or longer visits.
We can go over these options in detail to optimize your dogs training.
Harry & Beverly Pradon have trained dogs since 1981.
