Puppy Headstart
The Puppy Head Start Program is the very best way to introduce your new puppy to the life of the hunting retriever. We recommend starting your pup in this program between 2 and 5 months old.
Our headstart program is an introduction to birds, whistles, gunshots, and water. This program is specifically designed to maximize the first 6-months of your puppy’s life when they are at their most critical period of development and learning. It is also easier to develop positive behaviors versus trying to break bad behaviors.
We take a limited number of puppies for this program because it takes consistency and time to socialize puppies properly. Socialization is a significant step in building the foundation for hunting dogs' development.
This is a 1-month program
RETRIEVER TRAINING
Gun Dog
Basic to Advanced
We strive to produce a complete hunting companion based on the dog’s natural ability.
Red Flats Retrievers believes in "positive reinforcement training" and allows your dog to mature and grow into their skill level. As with our Obedience and Puppy Head Start programs; we will never push a dog faster than it is ready to learn just to produce quicker results. We do not believe that makes for a loyal hunting companion.
Our training methods start with a strong foundation. Obedience skills are at the forefront. As your dog progresses we will weave in drills that bring out your dog's guide us to determine your dog's skill level, and what he/she is capable of.
