What I Offer You and Your Best Friend

GUN DOG

4 months ($800 per Month)

A Basic Gun Dog is for the person that wants an obedient dog that they can enjoy hunting with. The Dog will be trained to Sit, Here, Heal, Kennel and Fetch live or dead birds. This training does not include training to cast. 

ADVANCE GUN DOG

6 months ($750 per month)

Advance Gun Dog is for the person that wants to build on the concepts of the basic gun dog and obtain that all around great hunting dog.  This training will focus on reinforcing and polishing the Sit, Here, Heal, and Kennel commands.  It will expand the dog’s knowledge to the ability to cast to a bird it did not see.

COMPETITIVE RETRIEVER 

12+ months ($700 per month)

This program is for the person that wants to run hunt tests, derbies, and/or field trails and maximize the dog’s abilities. These dogs are trained to chase ribbons and titles!!! 

PUPPY TRAINING

4 weeks $1500

I believe the earlier the dog starts training the better the chance of having that once in a lifetime dog. Puppies are sponges during their first few months of life and develop habits they’ll keep the rest of their life. We like to expose them to as many experiences as possible to help make them become that well rounded pup.  This program includes socialization, basic Here,Sit, Kennel, and crate training.  We start puppies as early as 12 weeks. 

BASIC OBEDIENCE

4 weeks $1500

This training is designed for older puppies and adult dogs to assist them in being a great pup outside and inside the home.  Training will include Sit, Here, Heal and Kennel both stationary and on lead.

ADVANCE OBEDIENCE

4 weeks $1250

After Basic obedience is complete we will continue into the advance obedience course for 6 weeks. This is ideal for the person that wants an obedient dog off lead. Training will continue to build on the concepts learned in basic obedience.  This will include collar conditioning, off lead, and whistle training.  In addition, we will teach home etiquette such as: place and off.  

STARTED GUN DOGS

From 4500 up

Do you like to see before you buy? Then this is the category for you! Started Gun Dogs can be purchased at four different levels: Advance Puppy, Started Gun Dog, Season Dogs and Finished Dogs. We start by selecting Dogs from top of the line pedigrees, carefully selecting based on the most desirable traits demonstrated by the parents and lineage.  We then begin raising and training them to be the ultimate Gun Dog.  By starting training early, we are helping to insure they don’t develop undesired habits and develop top notch hunting skills. The best part of purchasing a Started Gun Dog is you get to see how they perform and find that perfect fit before you make your investment.   Here at Hard Retrievers we value and understand that finding that perfect match is like finding the perfect shotgun.   So whether you are looking for a laid back dog or a high energy dog or anything in between, you get to decide with our Started Dogs.  Come out, train with us, and get your puppy fix; you just might find that perfect hunting companion!
