The evaluation is a mandatory precursor to any individual training program at Quill Feather Farm. Why do we insist on an evaluation? Because having an understanding of where you and your dog currently are is an imperative step to helping you construct a viable and successful training program. During this 1+ hour session, we will evaluate you and your dog through a variety of situations in the yard, the field, and (if applicable) at the water. Depending on breed, age, etc. we may assess your dog for any, if not all, of the following:
We will also observe you for things like:
As we move through the evaluation, we will indicate the things you're doing well and will provide suggestions as to how you can address the things that need improvement. At the end of your session, we will take what we observed and combine it with your ultimate goals (and the information from your questionnaire) to suggest a training program tailored for you and your dog. Since we employ a train-the-trainer approach, we will provide knowledge, experience, guidance, environments, birds, tools, equipment, etc. to give you and your pup the best opportunity to build a better gun dog...but following up, moving forward, and rate of progress will be completely dependent upon you and your dedication to training your hunting partner.
