Gun Dog Training
We understand that a well-trained gun dog is not just an asset for hunting; it is a loyal companion that enhances your outdoor experience. Our gun dog training programs are meticulously designed to cultivate the skills necessary for success in the field, while ensuring a strong bond between you and your dog.
Our experienced trainers utilize proven methodologies that emphasize both obedience and performance. We focus on essential commands like heel, sit, and stay, while also developing specialized skills such as retrieving, scent recognition, and steadying to shot. Tailored to meet the unique needs of each breed and individual dog, our training sessions foster confidence and cooperation.
Tune-up training is also available for gun dogs. We offer pre-season tune-ups for dogs that have previously trained with FFR, as well as those from other kennels, to help get them back in shape for the upcoming season. A tune-up is an excellent way to refresh your retriever's skills and prepare them for the season ahead.
Investing in our gun dog training is not merely about enhancing your dog’s hunting abilities; it’s about establishing a reliable partnership that lasts a lifetime. Whether you are preparing for a hunting season or simply want to improve your dog’s obedience, our programs offer the guidance and expertise you need.
Join the ranks of satisfied clients who have witnessed remarkable transformations in their dogs. Experience the joy of sharing a seamless hunting experience with a well-trained companion.

Obedience Training
Obedience training forms the cornerstone of a well-behaved gun dog, and it’s equally essential for family pets in any household. At Fair Feather Retrievers (FFR), we use proven, effective training methods to ensure your dog becomes not only a well-mannered companion but also an enjoyable one. We focus on teaching essential commands and foundational skills that not only enhance your dog’s behavior but also promote their safety, whether at home or in diverse environments.
Our obedience training program is open to all breeds starting at 6 months of age. We offer both on and off-leash obedience training, which lasts for 8 weeks. During this time, your dog will master the following key commands:
• Sit
• Heel
• Here
• Place
• Kennel
Throughout the course, your dog will also benefit from socialization with other dogs, learning the importance of manners and respectful behavior in all situations. At FFR, we believe that an obedient dog is truly the best dog to have—one that is not only a joy to be around but also a well-rounded, confident companion.
