Hunting Dog & Gun Dog Training
At Northern Plains Gun Dog’s our Specialty is Gun Dog Training for the Hunter. Whether your passion is Upland Hunting, Waterfowl Hunting, or a little of both, our training can be tailored to how you hunt.
Please note that the Basic Training Program will typically take a minimum of 2 months as all dogs learn at a different pace. It is tough to determine exactly how long the desired training will take but we keep our Dog Owner’s informed throughout the entire training process through emails, videos, phone, and text. Some dogs do not have “What it Takes” to be a true hunting companion. If we feel that your dog is not performing up to expectations and doesn’t have the desire and drive, we will contact you and discuss the options.
