Kennel Programs
All programs will have your dog collar conditioned. Electronic stimulation (E-collar) is the most advanced training method and the method of choice for professional field trial, gun dog and obedience trainers. Stimulation, when applied at the correct level and exactly the right moment can teach a dog quickly and painlessly. Collar conditioning improves the response to a command. Also included is that all dogs will be "Force Fetched" to ensure a reliable retriever and hunting companion. Andy believes in the method of associating a positive action with "hold" so that your dog will be a steady and reliable companion.
