| First Day of Multiple Gunshots 6 Weeks Into Program |
| The dog must hear multiple gun shots. More than one shooter A Pup that has not heard this could be sent for a loop..Expecialy a timid Pup.. She has just been introduced to steadiness the day before...The handler is a helper that has just been told what commands to use..This is a good practice for the pup...Why...Because most owners are as lost as he is at the commands..This helps the pup to compensate for the week handler |

| Tee does not like to sit on whistle with bumper in mouth..She finally starts to stop..Do not rush this when your dog treads pause..Do not cast right away |
| Rowdy...Was brought to me already trained by the owner...He had no interest in birds.. The owner was at whits end and all his hunting buddies said "HE AIN'T GOT NO DRIVE"..But Danny wanted to give it one more try. Rowdy at the end of the month was doing multiple retrieves land and water and I would have to watch my fingers when playing with him..See the happy proud owner above the clip |

Friends referred us to Richard because "he works magic with dogs". We needed a little magic with our large great dane puppy- before she got so big and out of control that she ruled the house! Bella spent 2 months with Richard, and in that time developed into a well-behaved, loving, gentle giant. She's a pleasure to walk these days, and no longer "plays" too hard with our children. Richard spent a lot of time teaching Bella- and us- the basics. It's now a pleasure to take this 100 pound, 8 month old puppy to the park and watch her sit while all the kids pet her and chaos breaks out around her. Our kids love having her sweet disposition around and I love how she listens and obeys our instructions. With Richard's help, Bella has become a much loved part of our family. |

Well you did it. You turned a wimpy suck ass chocolate lab into a hunting machine. Brought her out tonight for her first duck hunt. After I missed the first 4 that flew by and she stopped laughing at me it was all business. I dropped one that hit the ground about 75+ yards behind me. She didn’t see it go down she was actually sitting on the other side of the beaver house. I called her to me and sent her in I don’t know how she knew what I wanted but she did. I thought that she had went way beyond where the duck landed but she came out of the grass, cattails and swamp carrying a beautiful female mallard. She didn’t want to let it go at first. After I got it from her I set it down so I could pet her and tell her what a good dog she was, the duck started to run away well she was back on that duck like you couldn’t believe |

| First Bird For This Pup This is a pup that has just arrived and seeing his first bird..You never steady a pup on the first birds..You never see the true make up of the pup if you do this in the first month of training or with a sensitive pup..It's easier to stop a pup than to get them to go after over steading them.. |
| Unlike a kennel we have plenty of one on one playtimes with our in home guests |

Kathy Dewberry dewberryk@yahoo.com Bella Bear 13 months old Chocolate Lab Obedience/behavioral program Knowing that Bella would not be used as a hunting dog, we still needed a good obedience/behavioral program to send her to. After a bad experience with a large training facility with many dogs in fenced kennels and being overlooked due to not being trained to be a hunting dog, I knew that I wanted a different environment for Bella's training. I am so grateful that I found Richard because he was exactly what Bella and I wanted and needed. Richard gave Bella the comfort of a home environmental and play time in additional to the exceptional training. When I took Bella to Richard, she was on the "wild side" due to being so spoiled by us. I knew that Richard has his work cut out for him (he knew it, too!) For the next two months, we went out weekly and trained one-on-one with Bella. Not only was she being trained, so were we. Every week there was marked progress with her. Now that we have her home, she is doing excellent with her commands, while she is still our "Little Bella Bear". Richard, you are an amazing Trainer and we are SO grateful for you teaching her so much. She is a totally different pup since you worked with her. Thank you so much! |

| Some of Our Training Areas. I do the basics in the yard..Then move to the real world..I train in actual hunting areas not kennel grounds..This is not the two month go get the bird on cut grass kennel grounds program..I use Thousands of acres to train on..The pup must see this so you don't end up training pup on your hunt |

This is NOT your average training program.. Your pup lives with me to forge that bond a trainer needs to bring out the best in your pup..This is for preferred clientele. Owners that have a pup for more than just a tool but as life long companions. There is not a smelly hot kennel, dog fights. I train a maximum of four - five pups in my program.. This allows me to tailor and fit each pups needs as to there learning curve..This helps because all dogs are different..It allows me to take the pups where other trainers can't..To the real world of hunting..Mud boats, decoys, birds and to thousands of acres to train and hunt in.. |
Guided Waterfowl Hunts North Texas Duck Hunts I offer guided waterfowl hunting for the hunting retriever owner. The areas we hunt are NOT ponds or ranch lakes..Your dog will get a work out and you can see what they really know. You can see by the pics it is heavy cover..This is North Texas Duck hunting at its best.. We hunt the thousands of acres of flooded dead timber, marsh and open water areas in North East Texas, the Red River and WMA's in OK. Where we shoot mallards ,pintail, teal, wood duck, and wigeon..At North Texas Duck Hunts we hunt large numbers of mallards in the timber. Out in the deep waters you can shoot trophy Goldeneye ,Bufflehead ,Canvasback and resting mallards. Our 16x48 foot GPS equipped boat is powered by a 23 hp Go-Devil LT and can travel to secluded shallows and heavily timbered areas..The birds have thousands of shallow acres to feed in...The drought has ONLY affected the boat ramps not the birds..The expanse of shallows to feed in has only increased, you just need the knowledge and proper equipment to hunt them..Already the birds are thicker than I have ever seen on the areas... |
| Real World Training/ Hunting Trip Ask the prospective trainer if he does this on a regular basis..Or is he too busy and over crowded..I train like this EVERY DAY of the season and simulate hunting like the dog above in the off season..Either taking the finished or mid level pup hunting or the new pup on a scouting trip to let them see the real world of mud boats, decoys, a wild ride in the boat and heavy cover |
| Real World Training For Real World Success |
| I have the advantage of in home training..I teach your pup proper house manners unlike a kennel where the pup learns NOTHING of in house manners,such as not to jump on people that come in the front door,barking when the door bell rings,jumping up on furniture and beds,potty training and to stay in a create without barking all night |
| The two clips below show where I take the pups to expose them to hunting.. We are scouting for the next days hunt..There is a pup next to me on a stand siting nicely...This is every day..Your pup sees more in a week of training/hunting than most see in a season..I throw marks in this mess of dead timber to make the pup hunt |
