We love waking up on Mondays and hearing from CGA members who got one step closer to their goals over the weekend… in retriever training, it’s not just about the final product. It’s about the whole journey you and your dog take to get there.
to when the whole country froze and our conversations were about how to keep your dog safe in icy conditions… we’d take that over this heat any day!
The sun has set on another weekend, and we’re now less than two months out from dove openers across the country! It will be here before we know it.
Happy Fourth!!

ATTENTION!! 🧨
It’s that time of year… firework shows are about to get going! Every single year we get messages about dogs running away during a firework show. Just because your dog loves gunfire does not mean they’ll love a firework show.
Read our blog on fireworks and avoid a potential disaster this week! (Link in bio)
As of tomorrow, we will be just two months out from the dove opener!!

“I was thinking about during our training session, the unique bond that we’ve been able to build, and it’s the focus around a lot of the CGA videos. I needed a companion that we had really built a bond around and Cornerstone’s helped me through that. It’s really instilled that in our relationship.” - CGA Ambassador Scott Marquis #buildfromhere

Not sure if Cornerstone is the right program for you? CGA Ambassador Tom Forman gives insight into why he chose CGA and 52 Plus. “When I started researching and I saw that it was basically a one stop shop where you can have all the possible training tools that you need to develop that gun dog, from the day you bring it home up until its very first hunt, I thought CGA was it. That was the right program for me and Rip.” Tom has done a great job with his dog, Rip, and has set a great example of the mindset and commitment it takes to train your dog. It has definitely paid off for him and Rip!
Nothin' better than a limit of geese in the snow with your pup! We have a new blog post with CGA Member and Ambassador Tom Forman. Tom and his dog, Rip, have spent countless hours training and developing their bond, and it's paid off for them! "Rip and I have developed a tremendous bond, not only in the field but also at home. I can only thank CGA. Without it, Rip would not be the hunting dog that he is or the house pet he has become." https://ow.ly/4I1550QmFPs

Have you ever wondered what a CGA training session looks like? Watch member and ambassador, Vickie, train her incredible retriever, Claire. #buildfromhere “In the early portions of the training program, you’re taught how the dog learns, how the dog interprets information. From that, it helped us get a great, positive start on her training. It provided her with problem-solving skills. I didn’t always have to give her the answer. It gave her time to think about what she needed to do to get that positive feedback, to get that reward.” - Vickie
