DUCK DOG / WATERFOWL / DUCK & GOOSE HUNTING / DOG TRAINING
The two words all duck hunters love to hear
“TAKE ‘EM”
Is your dog ready? Our Duck Dog training program will help make your dog the hunting companion your friends wish they had, and a dog you’re proud to have in the blind!
Your dog will be exposed to decoys, blinds, calling, several different training ponds with a variety of cover, and most important; ducks, ducks and more ducks. These are the things your dog must be exposed to and trained on before his first hunting trip. At Rug-ged Retrievers, he will.
We encourage your active participation throughout training, and we provide regular reports on your dog's progress.
Evaluations, brush ups, problem solving etc., are available year round as well. These training options are handled on an individual basis.

PHEASANT / QUAIL / DOVE / UPLAND HUNTING DOG TRAINING
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, and a variety of hunting situations including different 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!
