Retriever Training
Our Specialty
Raven Ridge Retrievers provides specialized retriever training packages designed to transform dogs into exceptional companions and skilled hunting partners. Through 3-4 months of rigorous training, retrievers learn advanced obedience commands, including off-leash control, and the ability to fetch on command with precise delivery. They become unfazed by gunshots, excel in performing tasks from boats and blinds, and navigate obstacles in hunting scenarios. Collar conditioning enhances their responsiveness, while their proficiency in multiple marked retrieves on both land and water, up to 100 yards, ensures their prowess in retrieving game birds. With scent training and unwavering dedication, these retrievers are primed for the hunt, ready to retrieve any fallen bird, and cherished members of the family.
