Resident Training Program

If you are in the market for a new family, companion, work or sport dog or simply want to make sure you do it right this time - we can help.

This program focuses on the research, testing, selection, purchase and training of a canine to your specifications. Selected dogs are thoroughly temperament tested and trained to the highest levels in obedience to ensure performance and reliability.

Before we begin the search we will meet with you and your family to discuss your needs and wants, establish a goal and a budget. Upon appropriation your new dog will begin the Resident Training Program immediately and live with its trainer while learning valuable skills and commands. Upon completion you will be educated in the proper handling techniques of your new dog.

Who Should Attend: Those looking for a "finished" dog to their specifications. Where selection cannot be gambled with and performance and reliability are an absolute must.
