I love my dog but I just do not have time to tune him up before duck season. This time of year with football going on and running our landscape buisness I am out the door early and I am not back home before dark. So my dogs skills suffer from not getting used.

If anyone can make me a reasonable offer for training him for 3 months please let me know

Thanks

Steve Vires with OnLine Labs. He lives in Harmontown, east of Como. Very nice facility. Steve is an avid duck hunter himself and has develop all the tools necessary to teach retrievers about duck hunting. Give him a call....662-526-5698.

steve is good. I had alot of people recommend him for my puppy, just dont have the pockets for it right now

I would talk to Steve like the others have already mentioned...

He is trained all the way up to couch potato mode......lol.

He is started.

At least you can have a conversation while my dog is in the box in the back of the truck!

If you are interested in steve, I will be talking to him today, I will let him know!

Ragan I am like the guy above I just don't have that kind of money

A trainer is going to run around $500/month.

Or more.

Yep the ones I have found around here run about 400 or more. Till season gets here and I have a guy that is I think it was 325 but he keeps your dog during winter months to train.

And they gonna want the first and last month up front.. So better get a grand out. If not better do it yourself or get ready for fido to break like hell and give you the bird, and I aint talking about a duck.....

so I'm wondering what would one think would be a reasonable price to board, feed, train and be responsible for someone elses dog for 3 months? I'd be aware of someone that would tell you they could "tune a dog up" for you, for less than the $400 or $500 per month. Chances are, you will be getting exactly what you pay for.

Some of us small guys that train on the side are cheaper. Here are my rates:
Boarding $10.00 per day
Training $350 per month (client provides heartworm prevention)
The problem is I only take 4 dogs and usually stay full.
