Redstar
Kennels offers a puppy training program. This program is
approximately 2-3 months long, starting at eight weeks of age.
The program consists of house training,
obedience training, and beginning retriever
training. House Training is just what it implies. Your pup is
included into our home, trained to alert you when it needs to go
outside, and crate trained. Obedience Training includes the
verbal commands for heel, sit, here and kennel up. These are
the basic commands for both daily use and
field trial
use.
Pups will
also be taught what is unacceptable behavior, such as excessive
barking, jumping on children, etc. Beginning obedience,
socialization and retriever training is the foundation of all
future field trial and or hunt test training. At this young age,
patience and focusing on exposure to retrieving, guns, decoys,
duck and goose calls, and birds is of the utmost importance. The
puppies start out with fun retrieves of puppy bumpers and duck
wings.
Our
training fee is $450.00 per month which includes boarding, food
and training birds. Redstar will take your pup to the vet to
receive any scheduled and necessary shots. These vet
costs/visits are not included in the monthly board. We only
charge you what the vet charges Redstar. Since we only take 2
puppies at a time, we recommend reserving a spot for your pup.
We do require a $200.00 non-refundable deposit to reserve your
pups spot.
Once our
process is complete Redstar Kennels recommends the pup proceed
to advance training at
Farpoint Retrievers
