What others are saying

From the day that I met Chris and his staff I felt welcome and didn’t feel like I was just a “client”. They are very friendly and I felt like I had known them forever the very first time I met them. I would highly recommend Flatlander Kennels to anyone that is looking for retriever training and wants things done right.

Gun Dog Program:

This is usually a 4-6 month program. They will learn obedience, collar conditioning, force fetch, condition to gun fire, steadiness, single marked retrieves..land and water. Simulated hunting scenarios. This will produce a nice all purpose gun dog that can waterfowl hunt in the morning and upland hunt in the afternoon.

Basics:

This program includes the Gun Dog Program and builds off of that....Basics are truly the foundation of a truly trained dog and must be done thoroughly before advancing onto the other programs.

Transition:
