TRAINING & HANDLING

Handling services:
I would be happy to handle your dog at the next show. Call or e-mail me for the shows I will be attending as well as my rates.

Training services:

On a limited basis, I am offering the following training for your dog.

Introductory program: I will introduce your dog to birds, gunfire and retrieving, basically laying the foundation needed for a fun, safe and successful hunt.

AKC Hunt Test for Retrievers: I have had some real fun and real success taking an older dog and putting that title on the other end of the name. Last summer I had Jerry (see our boy’s page) here at Birdstone. When Jerry first arrived he had never picked up a bird, swam in a pond or even done an off-leash recall. By the end of the summer, he had his JH. He’s now a CH. JH.!

The amount of time it takes does depend on your dog’s natural ability and desire. Call or e-mail me for my currant rate.

		CH. Plumtree Scorpion JH "Jack" owned by Renee' and Rick Gussman of Plumtree Labradors, trained and handled by Lisa Van Vleet, earned his AKC Junior Hunt title on July 19, 2008.
