Dog Training in Frankston, TX

All Breed Basic Obedience – (New!)

Through positive reinforcement and consistent training, our Basic Obedience program teaches essential commands while strengthening communication and the bond between you and your dog. We focus on attention training to establish you as your dog's leader and source of guidance, creating a strong foundation for further learning. This approach ensures your dog responds reliably in any situation, making training more effective and rewarding

All Breed Obedience

Our all breed obedience program is a six-week course offered for all breeds. Dogs in this program will learn basic commands including: Here, Heel, Sit, and Kennel. At the end of the program, your dog will be collar conditioned and performing these commands off lead. Pups in this program will also learn basic manners, such as not jumping on people.

Basic Gun Dog

This is a 4 month program for dogs six months of age or older. Dogs in this program will go through basic obedience, collar conditioning, and force fetch. At the end of the program, they will be able to perform single marked retrieves. They will deliver to hand and be steady to shot. We also work on retrieving through decoys and off of a dog stand/dog hut.

Advanced Gun Dog

This program is for dogs that have completed the basics program and is typically an additional 6-10 months. In our advanced program, we will continue the dog’s education, teaching blind retrieves, double, and triple marks. The dogs will also be introduced to poison birds, walk up scenarios, and honoring.

AKC Field Trial Program

Field Trials are extremely challenging competitions that test the mental toughness, intelligence, and obedience of retrievers at the highest and most structured levels possible. Dogs that are consistently placing at this level are thought to be some of the most talented retrievers in the world. We only accept dogs from pedigrees that are specifically bred for this game. This ensures they have the best chance of success in this program. We highly encourage you to call us for help with puppy selection prior to going this route with your dog.

Puppy Head Start

In this program, puppies 4-6 months of age will learn proper socialization skills, treat training to basic commands, name recognition, and introduction to water, birds, and gunfire.

Boarding

We offer boarding for all breeds. Dogs who stay for boarding will have playtime 2-3 times a day on our 50 acre property, which features two ponds. We will provide food, but clients are welcome and encouraged to bring their own to keep the dog on a consistent diet.

Snake Avoidance Clinic

Please join us each August for our annual Snake Avoidance Clinic!

Wayne Lain, of snakebreaker.com, specializes in training pets and hunting dogs to avoid dangerous snakes. He uses live Rattlesnakes, Copperheads, and Water Moccasins (when available) that have been rendered harmless by removing the fangs and taping the mouth shut. He then introduces the dog to the sound, smell, and sight of the snakes. At a precise moment the dog alerts on these senses, he gives a brief stimulation with the E-collar. The dog associates the snake with delivering the stimulation. The training wears off over time. His best suggestion for keeping your animal safe is to vaccinate your animals with the Rattlesnake vaccine and get snake avoidance training every year.
