| PUPPY PROGRAM: Our puppy program introduces dogs to birds (such as pigeons, chukkars pheasants and ducks), firearms and water. Dogs as young as 5 months or dogs with no hunting experience are encouraged to start at this level. Upon completion of this program, your dog will be flushing, retrieving birds (both on the land and in the water). This program provides the building blocks in becoming a good hunting dog. |
