Platte Valley Retrievers

Platte Valley Retrievers Platte Valley Retrievers is a training kennel that specializes in gun dog and hunt test training The kennel is located at my home north of Kearney, NE.

As a dog lover and avid sportsmen I have spent my whole life around hunting retrievers. My early experience stems from the first Platte Valley Retrievers, a large kennel my parents operated throughout the 90's. They specialized in well bred retrievers including Labradors, Chesapeake's, and Golden's. My passion for working with these animals grew over time and now I am doing it professionally. The

facilities are safe, clean, and about 30 yds from my house so the dogs are under constant supervision. I specialize in gun dog training and hunt test training. Basic gun dog training is a minimum of four months, maybe longer depending on the individual dog. By the end of the training program the retriever will be obedient to the command and to the whistle. They will retrieve marked birds up to 100 yds away and will deliver them to hand. They will also be able to pass a HRC Started Hunt Test. My fee is $650/month for a minimum 4 month training program.

The power of force fetch. Chief went through our beginner gundog program earlier this summer and his demonstrating a little bit of what he learned. No he was not taught to fetch a hammer, but he was taught to fetch whatever he was told whenever he was told to do it.

Retriever training that focuses on the basics. Including; obedience, retrieving desire, and delivery to hand. Located near Kearney, NE we are a small kennel that focuses on quality over quantity. We only take on six gun dogs at a time so that you can be confident your retriever will get the attention it needs to build the hunting companion you want.

Mallie is working her way through the double T drill. In this run she was supposed to stop and take a “ back” cast and then stop and take a left “over” cast. As you can see she needs more work on “back” cast. But this is normal progress through this drill. She is doing very well. What we want most is to maintain “momentum” while refining “precision” and getting the correct casts.

Moved from the T drill to the Double T. One of my favorite drills. After a few weeks of this their handling skills really start to reach another level
