We offer private training in the convenience of your home. Private training is available in single sessions, or in packages of 3 or 6 sessions. We also offer behavior modification services for dogs with problems such as inadequate housetraining, separation and guarding issues and aggression. Please call (401) 339-2398 or email info@ridogguy.com to discuss your needs and to schedule an appointment. For costs and registration information, click here. (When registering for a behavior consultation, please fill out both the registration form and the behavior history forms.)
We offer private coaching for clients who want to introduce their dogs to field work, to tune their dogs up for the fall season, or prepare for Working Certificate or Hunt Tests. These 90-minute sessions are tailored to individual needs and can include retrieving on land and in water, gun conditioning, scent tracking, quartering and other skills.
For a more economical approach that enhances the fun, we offer semi-private 90 minute lessons. Find a friend, bring your dogs, and train together for mutual benefit and enjoyment.
When four or more people are interested in an introduction to field training, we will organize a basic field skills class. The class will meet for eight weeks. Four weeks are spent on fundamentals indoors, followed by four weeks in the field. The program culminates in an opportunity to earn achievement awards for all participants.
We also offer special weekend programs for dogs at all levels from beginner through senior. These programs offer an effective, efficient and enjoyable way to develop your dog's field skills.
Through a special arrangement with the Gun Dog Club, UK, we are able to offer tests and awards for retrievers, spaniels and pointers from beginner through senior level. For more information, visit the club at: http://thegundogclub.co.uk/home.htm.
