Upland Training

We accept a maximum of 12 dogs for training at one time.  By doing this, we are able to spend more time with you and your dog.  Our focus is on quality and customer satisfaction.  At Rug-ged Retrievers you and your dog will always be treated as individuals.

Our upland training program produces stylish, hard running dogs that are a pleasure to hunt with.  We begin by building a solid foundation with basic obedience.  As your dog progresses through the program, he will be exposed to birds, gun fire, a variety of hunting situations to include different types of terrain and cover.  During the time your dog is in our training program, he will have more birds shot over him, than most dogs will see in a lifetime.  The day you pick up your dog, you will have the opportunity to go out for a  hunt, and work with your dog in the field, in a real hunting situation.

Every in-board dog is trained personally by Tim & Jo Anne. We do not pass dogs off to an assistant trainer.  By accepting a limited number of in-board dogs, we guarantee that you and your dog receive the time and attention necessary to make the best hunting team possible. 

We encourage your active participation throughout training, and we provide regular reports on how your dog is progressing.  Fees include all professional training, boarding, food, birds, and shells.

At Rug-ged Retrievers you get results, NOT excuses!
