Basic Obedience Course - $800.00
The make of any great gun-dog starts with the basics…obedience. Without it, a gun dog or puppy for that matter, is simply chasing its tail. Our obedience program utilizes special reinforcement tailored specifically for your retriever. We ensure that your pup is set up for success on each rep to maximize the “canine cognition window”. You will have an obedient retriever, ready for the next level of training! (Course Length: 2-3 Weeks, If needed)

Gun Dog Training (3-X Months)
Where Legends Are Made...
Our flagship course, Southern Loon Retrievers™ was founded upon this course and we pride ourselves on the uniqueness of how our gun dog training is done, it is unlike any other today.
We provide a Basic and Advanced Gun-Dog Course that combines everything you would want out of your retriever. The course is a 6-9 month course (Dog Dependent) and utilizes the building block method in order to allow your retriever every inch of room to succeed. Listed are only a few of the skills your retriever will master: Forced Fetch, Blinds, Marking, Casting, Whistle Commands…
We understand how important your gun dog is to you and we realize that you only get one opportunity to train them correctly. We strive endlessly to ensure you get it done right the first time!
Please understand the following facts regarding the Basic and Adv. Gun Dog courses as they tend to be asked frequently:
– We ONLY train pure bred A.K.C. registered Labrador Retrievers. (Please no silvers, even if registered as a chocolate)
– We ONLY train for waterfowl hunting (in regards to hunt training), no other types of game.
– It IS 3-X months, in most cases a fully “finished” retriever takes 2 years to complete.
– The cost is $950.00 per month.
– Your retriever will stay here the entire time at our kennels.
