TRAINING
BIRD DOG TRAINING PROGRAMS
At Blue Collar Bird Dogs we train your dogs to their full potential. It takes hard work, dedication and time to discover, then develop each dog’s personality and natural ability. We use live birds and train in open fields in order to get the dogs used to the actual hunting environment. This is the basis of our training programs. To give the required time and attention to your dog we limit the number of dogs we accept each season. If the goal for your dog is to point, flush and retrieve as many birds as possible, we are here to help.
