During the Foundation program, your dog will learn all the basic necessities to be a good hunting companion. During the foundation program, your dog will learn the basics of obedience, manners, collar conditioning and force fetching.

The obedience basics allow us to move onto a finished delivery of birds at heel, control in the fields and steadiness in the duck blind.

Your dog will also be collar conditioned to all obedience commands. Collar conditioning is an off-leash training tool that reinforces the importance of following commands on an e-collar.
