Here at
Cedar Hill Retrievers,
we specialize in
training hunting
retrievers and over the
years our
training program
has produced hundreds of
top notch gundogs. We
also campaign the dogs
in AKC Hunting Test,
since our beginning in
1996 we have titled over
40 AKC Master Hunters
and earned numerous
other titles. We
work with all retrieving
breeds and put emphasis
on producing dogs that
are obedient as well as
work in a confident and
stylish manner.
The dogs will work
from blinds, boats,
through decoys, and are
taught to mark off the
gun, chase down
cripples, etc. They are
also exposed to various
types of cover, water,
and terrain on our
training grounds.
OUR TRAINING GROUNDS
OUR TRAINING PROGRAM
Basic
retriever training
(4 month program) -
This is the most
important part of
training and is the
foundation of all
training to come.
Basic training
consist of obedience
commands (verbal and
whistle), complete
trained retrieve
program for reliable
delivery to hand and
the go when sent
concept, and collar
conditioning on all
commands to ensure a
quick response even
at great distances
from the handler.
While the above
training is going on
in the yard the dogs
are also being
carried to the field
where their marking
ability will be
developed. Dogs
finishing basic
training will be
obedient to verbal
and whistle
commands, deliver
birds to hand and be
retrieving out to
100 yards or more on
land and in water.
They also will be
reasonably steady to
shot. Some dogs,
depending on their
progress, may also
get started on basic
handling drills
(hand signals).
After completion of
basic training your
dog will be able to
handle all basic
hunting situations,
compete at the
Junior Hunter level
in AKC hunting test
and be a pleasure to
have in your home.
Finished
retriever training
(additional 3 - 4
months) -
Finished retriever
training program
involves all basic
training listed
above plus training
for multiple marks,
diversion marks and
blind retrieves.
Dogs completing this
program will be able
to complete
difficult multiple
marking concepts,
will handle
smoothly, be steady
and honor another
dogs work. They will
be able to handle
any situation that
may arise in an
average days hunt.
This dog would also
be ready for the
Senior level in AKC
hunting test.
Advanced
retriever training -
Advanced
training takes all
the skills taught to
a finished dog to
the extreme level
needed for
campaigning the dog
at the AKC Master
hunting test level.
This training
teaches your dog to
handle very
technical multiple
marks and blind
retrieves, emphasis
is put on precise
marking, handling
and straight lines
through cover,
difficult terrain
and water. The
advanced level
requires an above
average dog and if
this level is your
predetermined goal
we will give you an
evaluation based on
our opinion of your
dogs potential after
basic training.
Obedience
training (1 month
program) -
Occasionally we have
openings for
obedience training.
Obedience training
consists of the sit,
here, heel, and down
commands (same
obedience training
as our gundog
programs). At the
conclusion of this
program dogs will
comply to all these
commands off lead
and at a distance.
Dogs also will be
taught general
manners and what not
to do, such as
excessive barking,
jumping up on
people, etc.
Since we only
accept a limited
number of dogs, we
suggest you call and
reserve your dog a
spot as soon as you
decide you want to
have your dog
professionally
trained. We do
require a $100
non-refundable
deposit to hold a
spot for your dog.
