We at Duck Band Retrievers believe that all retrievers are born with a certain amount of natural ability and talent, some possessing more than others. We strive to build upon that natural ability and talent, while establishing a foundation that will sustain success in all aspects of the retriever’s life. We strive to produce retrievers who are obedient and controlled, but still very excited about the work that is expected of them. At the conclusion of training we also provide one-on-one training sessions with owners so that each will be able to fully utilize the talents and skills of his or her retriever.
We believe that even though dogs are brought to us for a particular purpose, they should all be allowed to be dogs and enjoy the things that dogs enjoy. All dogs at our facility, regardless of their level of training, are allowed “play time” to run around and just be a dog We believe that this is instrumental in reducing stress during the training process, and results in a happier, healthier dog.
We limit the number of dogs in training so that we can provide the individual attention that is necessary to produce top quality retrievers. We feed only the best performance dog food, and our facilities include concrete, indoor kennels and training grounds and ponds that are designed specifically for retriever training.
Regardless of your desired level of training, we have a program for everyone. While we provide a time line for all training programs, it is simply an estimation. Some retrievers advance more quickly, while others may take additional time. We maintain constant communication with our clients, advising them of their retrievers’ progress and, if necessary, the need for additional time in training.
