TRAINING

Pointer & Retriever Training for Upland Game & Waterfowl Training for Your Water Dog

Training is performed by experienced, professional trainers, using all the latest equipment. Our program is generally a 6 to 8 week program designed to provide the Hunter with a good hunting companion. Full service bird-dog training is $140.00 per week. All training includes board, training, equipment use, and birds at no extra charge. The Owner is expected to come up every 2 to 3 weeks to see their dog's progress as well as to get some 'hands-on' training themselves.

Saturday Morning Lessons & Seminars

Every Saturday morning starting about May 1st, we are doing private lessons and Open House at Olive Hill Kennels. This is a great time to stop by if you're interested in purchasing a bird dog or have training you need on the dog you already have.

You are welcome to come out and watch the dogs in training. For a nominal fee, we will work your dog on a private lesson.

Whether it's starting your pup or steadying to wing & shot, we'll be happy to help you out!

Introduction to the Gun

Bring your 6 to 7 month old pup in for his 'Introduction to the Gun'. 'Gun shyness' is a man-made problem and is nearly impossible to correct. Please don't take your dog to the Gun Range to get him accustomed to the gun! We recommend that you get some professional help with this aspect of the training so that it is done correctly!

This is generally a one-week program. We'll get him chasing out on birds'having a good time with that'and over the course of the week, shoot over him using a starter pistol, and a shotgun. He'll have a great time, and this will really build his enthusiasm!

Pre-Season Tune-ups

Get your dog prepared for the upcoming season so they're ready to go when the season opens! If you're planning a week or two of vacation this summer, don't forget that your good old bird dog could use a vacation too! We're offering a week's stay'1st class accommodations'at Olive Hill Kennels Resort & Spa! For $140.00 per week, we will take him out and hunt him over game birds every training day'a real treat for him and a great refresher on his bird work for the upcoming season! Call and make reservations to coincide with your vacation. We'll be happy to watch him while you're gone!

Birds

We offer a variety of birds for sale including Bobwhite Quail, Chukar, Pheasants, Courtournix Quail, and Pigeons. Prices start at $3.00.

OBEDIENCE TRAINING

Our Obedience Training is offered for many breeds of dogs teaching all of the basic commands. Our's is a 30-day program where the dog stays with us. We want the owners to come up ½ way through the month to see their dog's progress as well as to get some 'hands-on' training. At the end of the month, we'll give you another lesson so that you know how to transfer the training from us to you! That way when you get him home, he'll understand that he has to listen to you as well as to us! Cost is $140.00 per week, which includes board as well as training.

Puppy Lessons

Bring your pup in for lessons beginning at about 3 months of age. We'll show you how to work him on live birds and will show you things that you should be doing with your pup as well as things not to do with your pup to get him moving along on his training.

OWNER TRAINING

You are welcome to come out and watch the dogs in training. For a nominal fee, we will work your dog on a private lesson. Whether it's starting your pup or steadying to wing & shot, we'll be happy to help you out!
