| 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 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 |

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! |

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 or the common 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.. |
| 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 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 |

| I highly recommend Richard Pulvino for training your dog or training you to train your dog. Sunni is 85 lbs of energy, hard headedness and is spoiled rotten. A challenge for any trainer. Since meeting up will Richard, Sunni and myself have excelled in reaching our goals. Richard has always been available by either phone, email or in person to help you work through the issues. I have not had an issue yet that Richard's knowledge, patience, demeanor or tenacity has not been able to over come. I could go on but, you get the idea, Richard is my dog trainer. Enough said. Feel free to call or email me. |

| Bruiser Daily Sessions Owned By Chase Carpenter doc5168@yahoo.com |
| Richard conveniently makes himself available for daily sessions in which you can set up according to your schedule and learn at your own pace. You can meet with him as often as you wish then take his training methods home with you to train your dog. I favor this method of training so you can personally care for and train your own dog. Richard can help you solve any problem you may have encountered in training your own dog. If I make a mistake or we’re ready for the next step I can schedule a session and/or contact Richard anytime. It’s like Richard is the coach and Bruiser and I are the TEAM. Since we’ve been working with Richard’s direction, Bruiser has become a completely different dog. One I’ll take to the blind or the line anytime. I know that Bruiser will be the dog I’m wanting because the daily training sessions are geared toward my personal goals and I’ m left with the responsibility to see it through. Feel free to contact me through email if you’d like: doc5168@yahoo. com. See you in the blind or at the line. Happy Hunting!! Thanks, Chase Carpenter |

| Teddy and Duke Gun Dog and Re-Training Owned by Brett Hodge brett.hodge@nch.com |
| Hurley Obedience Training Owned By Kelley Lyon kelleylyon11@gmail.com |
| I wish they could see him now. Teddy was a pup we got from North Dakota. I was kind of new in the hunting dog area when we bought him. I made the mistake of taking him to a large trainer that brags about how many championship dogs they have trained. It was one of those quick training to save you money places. Teddy spent the required time at the ranch and when I picked him up the trainer told me he was a lost cause. I was told that dog has no drive and is not birdie enough to make a hunting dog. I admit that Teddy is a lot different than the High energy full throttle black labs that most of these trainers are training but I was not ready to give up. I had a phone conversation with about 10 different trainers all across four states and visited many of the facilities myself. When I visited Richard I knew that my first impression was not far off on him. His facility looked like my house. His training places resembled places I hunt. My dog sleeps in his home and plays with other dogs just like home. There is not 20-30 dogs on the place. Richard told me right away that Teddy had potential and he wasn’t wrong. Teddy is the most laid back calm house lab you will ever meet but when the camo comes out he is a machine. Not every dog is the same. I recently just picked up my second dog that Richard has trained. Duke or “The Devil Dog” as my wife says is the opposite of Teddy and Richard did a fine job with him as well (wife is happy). Richard will get to know your dog personally. He will figure out what makes him tick and motivates him. He understands the differences in how much pressure to apply to the many different personalities of dogs. He will train your dog and teach you how to use your dog. You will understand why your dog tries to do certain things. The best training is useless unless the owner is taught how to use it in the process. Teddy spent Saturday fetching 4 limits of ducks. He spent over ten minutes swimming after a wounded diver and picked up a couple of doubles. Pretty good for a dog with no drive. Now if we can just slow that tail down when the ducks are locked up.

| I could not be more pleased with Richard and the excellent hunters he has created with my two little girls. Richard definitely had his work cut out for him, tasked with training my wife’s timid polar bear lab and my rambunctious black Lean Mac lab. I was very surprised when we picked them up from Richard’s house and they were behaving like angels in his home. I was even more impressed when we took them out to the field for a test run and the white dog actually hunted amazing well, despite her lack of hunting blood lines. The focus of the training was primarily on the mischievous Lean Mac dog, a breed known for being very wiry and hard to control, and he had her steady as a rock! Not only was she performing on cue with bumpers and dead birds, but was cool as ice when Richard brought the live birds out, which normally make her lose all control and memory. Richard is easy to work with as a dog owner and it is clear he cares as much for my dogs as I do. As an owner you can see your dog progress through regular visits, actual hunting trips with Richard, and consistent You Tube uploads of their progress. His approach is very different than a trainer who has a kennel full of dogs as Richard is very selective about which dogs he will take and he only has a couple at a time. The dogs stay inside Richard’s house with him so they get plenty of love and attention while constantly being trained to be a solid, well behaved pet indoors. Richard really cares about the dogs and I appreciate his regular emails checking up on their progress and how often I am getting them out in the field now that they are home with us. If you have the opportunity to have Richard train your dog, I can assure you that you will not regret the decision. Whether it is for in house obedience or field trial hunt testing, Richard cannot be beat! Please call me if I can help you in your decision. 817.797.3433, andrewzacharias2003@yahoo.com |
