RETRIEVER TRAINING

At Northern Plains Retrievers our goal is to bring out your dog's natural hunting and retriever instincts, while at the same time instilling the obedience component that will make sure it's under control and willing to work with you as a team.  Developing a positive attitude toward training, along with plenty of birds and marks, will be the key to developing your dog into a quality retriever you will be proud to take to any duck blind, upland field, or hunt test.
