Sporting/Working Dog Training

Programs that provide training for gun dogs, herding dogs and other sporting and working dogs in the skills they need to do their jobs or successfully compete in field trials or hunt tests. Training for hunting dogs may include flushing game, pointing, hunting close, retrieving game from land or water and basic field obedience. Herding dogs (breeds such as border collies, Australian shepherds, corgis or Belgian sheep dogs) are taught proper techniques for herding stock including cattle, sheep, goats, ducks or geese based on signals from their handlers.
