Service Description

I believe that Gun Dog Training for Retrievers should be fun! At dreamlike4paws I offer reward based Gun Dog Training that is tailored to your specific needs. I provide the training at a place of your choosing and focus on building a strong relationship between you and your dog while hunting together as a team. My goal is to create with you a well-mannered and obedient Retriever while also having lots of fun for everyone involved in doing what this breed is meant to do. Many times we will use bumpers and canvas dummies, but when possible also birds. In my training I do not use any prong or e-collars, as I have trained my own dogs without them and don't believe them necessary in any training scenario. I can show you creative ways to reach your goal without the need to administer pain or fear. It is all about clear and structured communication and adeqaut training setups. The wonderful side benefit of this is, since the dog is allowed to use its nose and will work with you as a team, your relationship will be elevated to a new level! A dog that is allowed to use its nose and do what it was bred for is a happy dog!
