A day in the life at WWBD… Our day starts early, coming out of the crates for some yard time to stretch, water, etc. Our Johnny house quail are released at this time. Each dog is taken out for a short obedience session, before going on a walk in quail country. The anticipation & excitement of the walk allows us to get the attention of the puppy & keeps them in a good mood for the session. Good behavior is marked and rewarded in this phase.

Each dog is then walked in the bird field, where they are allowed to handle birds, exactly how they are genetically intended to. A pointed bird is handled in a way to stoke the fire. Mishaps are ignored or corrected as needed – this time is utilized as a learning experience. Afterward, it’s back to the crate to “soak it all in.” Time for a short rest, then it’s free kennel time for a while with a “yard” session with other dogs, then back to the kennel.

Afternoons are for drills, water introductions, gunfire introductions, and back up to nap. Evenings are our famous “free walks” on GPS with a person either walking or on a side by side. This is where dogs are encouraged to be dogs –run around, pee on stuff, sniff things, & generally have fun. However, all walks are in wild chukar country, so the bird-savvy ones may just find something to learn on.

One of the things that sets our program apart from other kennels & training programs, is that we allow dogs out alone, in small groups, or large groups, while letting them be a puppy in our everyday life. They learn to entertain themselves, walk by our sides, or chill on a place board depending on the situation. During this time, we are teaching dogs about home life and bonding with their people. We are teaching them how to interact properly in different household situations.

Puppy Program$750

Where we make gun dogs and enhance genetics. An early wakeup call, and everyone is let out to air out in the yard to start the day. Then the dogs kennel up, before getting ready to start working.

These dogs will be doing more drill, skillset work. Before doing field or water sessions, we do the “work & drills” associated with the task before going to the big stuff. Here at WWBD, we believe the trained skills create the desired action. We train your dog to master the tasks, not pass a test. We do these sessions first to allow us to mold the desired behavior in the field or water. Everyone goes back to their kennel to relax before going off for the bigger task of the day.

After the field, water, or a combination of the two, dogs will be able to have fun either in the yard or out for a group run/walk in “wild bird country.”

Dogs that are at different phases — like force-fetch, whoa breaking, etc. — will likely be brought back out for an evening session, then dinner and a little more yard time before bed.

We have wild birds on the property & on adjoining BLM/public land. Dogs in this phase are routinely brought out for a run in this area to keep their wild bird hunting skills fresh. A walk in the Johnny House birds will also get mixed in.

Advanced Dog Training $1200

Force Fetch, Woah Break & Obedience$1200

Although not a full time breeder we do have a stud dog available. Also we offer a couple arranged breedings per year out of dogs that we feel are very special and meet the characteristics we want to train and hunt over.
