Advanced Hunting, Hunt Test, & Field Trial Training
|
|
Dogs that develop soundly through basics have the opportunity of becoming an advanced handling retriever. A handling retrievers is one who takes commands through hand, voice, and whistle signals to find a bird in which he/she has not seen fall. Nothing tops the day more than a fully-trained retriever who finds a bird hundreds of yards away with the help of his owner/handler.
The pinnacle of this ability is presenting the dog under judgement in a hunt test or field trial. |

Field Trials
|
|
Field trials require a fully-trained retriever to compete against other retrievers. Winners are determined and placements are given. Field trials are a showcase of highly talented and stylish retrievers. For more information on how your retriever can be trained to run AKC field trials, please call us @ 956.739.2142.
