Poplar Ridge Training Philosophy

We offer several programs for retriever training

PUPPY PROGRAM
STARTED GUN DOG PROGRAM
ADVANCED GUN DOG PROGRAM

PUPPY TRAINING PROGRAM

Our puppy training program is for all retriever breed puppies at the age of 12 weeks. This program lasts one month and is an excellent introduction on which to build future training. Puppies are taught to sit, to walk on a leash and to return while retrieving. Puppies are introduced to land and water retrieving, gun fire, a variety of retrieving bumpers, decoys, and to frozen birds. Nothing is strict and fun retrieving is stressed.

Our ADVANCED PROGRAM is for retrievers of any age that have completed our Started Program or it's equilivent. Advanced Training is "blind retrieves" and hand signals. Dogs are taught to leave your side on command, without the benifit of seeing something thrown, and to take a line in the direction you want them to go. They learn to stop when they hear a whistle command and look at the handler for a "cast" (hand signal) and to go in the direction indicated by the handler.
