This program usually takes 4-6 months to complete. The dog will learn obedience, collar conditioned to the e-collar, force fetch (deliver to hand), conditioned to gun fire, steadiness, and single marked retrieves on land and water. They will also be introduced to different hunting scenarios (decoys, boats, and running out of a blind). This program will produce a nice all-purpose gun dog that can move onto further training or waterfowl hunt.
