| Gun Dog Training
Higgins Gundogs and Newtown Kennels now offers 'In-House' Training. We now offer boarding/training available on a weekly or monthly basis. Puppies/dogs spend some of the day in a secure pasture and some of the time watching other dogs working. They spend the evening socialising with the family and other dogs (free time and crate time) in the house and sleep in the house (this is a major difference between us and the other guys, dogs will not be kenneled 24/7). It is very important that each dog receives daily one on one time, this is not a gun dog factory. For this reason we are limiting the number of dogs in training to six at a time. We nurture the dogs' natural ability. S/he will learn about birds and how to hunt. Training includes learning to handle, bird management, steadiness, retrieving, etc. Brad uses only the highest quality birds (pigeons, quail, chukar, pheasants) that behave as closely to wild birds as is possible. Upon completion dogs will receive a Higgins Gun Dogs Certification. Handler/Owner certification is also available. Handlers/Owners are required to spend time during or at the end of the training period learning to work with their dog. This gives owners the opportuntiy to place their dog in a safe and productive learning environment without the pitfalls of more conventional training. All owners are encouraged to come shoot over their dogs while in training. Additionally, weekly progress videos will be available. This training/boarding arrangement gives gun dog owners nationwide access to Brad Higgins' method of training. For more information about Brad and his methods contact him at info@higginsgundogs.com or see his website, www.higginsgundogs.com.
