TRAINING AND BOARDING PACKAGES

The biggest thing that differs about me is when doing board and train packages I bring your dog in the house and they stay in a Ruffland kennel inside my home. I believe this makes the dogs and owners more comfortable. I offer packages that get cheaper per week that the dog is here. The longer you let me have the dog for training the better the product you will receive. I firmly believe the younger the dog is started the better the opportunity for it to excel and not let bad habits start. 

• average cost of birds per week is between $110 and $160 per week.
• 8 weeks board and train $450 per week. Cost of birds is additional.
• 12 weeks board and train $400 per week. Cost of birds is additional.
• 16 weeks board and train $350 per week. Cost of birds is additional.
• Any board and train less than 8 weeks = $475 per week.
• $100 per extra days

ONE-ON-ONE TRAINING

I also offer one-on-one training. The typical session is one to two hours depending on how the dogs doing and what we are working on. It is a great way for you to learn with the dog as it’s being trained. I will work with you and the dog and give you advice and show you what to do, then over the next week you will work on it like homework and come back and we go on to the next step. This does require you to do a lot of the training and if you don’t have the time I highly recommend boarding training.

• One-On-One 6 week session $750 plus birds
• One-On-One 1 week session $125 plus birds

EVALUATION & DEPOSIT – A non-refundable evaluation fee of $125.00 is required for all training packages. If you choose to continue and the trainer accepts the dog for training this fee will be applied toward your total training and boarding cost.

If you want me to run your dog in AKC hunt test or NAVHDA tests it will be $100 per run plus $.60 per mile I have to drive to, plus motel if more than 4hours away

I train dogs for NAVDHA titles (Natural Ability, Utility Prep, and Utility), AKC titles (Junior Hunter, Senior Hunter, Master Hunter), and can get you in contact with people who can help you show your dogs in confirmation shows.
