We also specialize in giving the resources and tools to maintain this level of training even after their time in our care. From basic obedience to advanced skills, we are committed to making your bond stronger with your furry friend.

    This is a 1-year program for breeders or owners who would like to start with a dog that has been properly brought up and exposed to wild birds. Dogs that go through this program will live here at CCK for one year. In that year, your dog will spend over 100 days chasing wild birds in numerous different states and environments. Dogs are to be sent in at 4-6 months of age to be developed by me. After one year, you will have a dog that is trained and eager to please you.

Invoices for any program will be charged monthly.
