Field and Obedience Training Services

I offer group training on specified dates through the winter and by arrangement the rest of the year.  Sessions will start with work on fundamentals such as Force Fetch, collar conditioning, etc. Then move into marks, and finally blinds.

I also havea podcast called That Girl With THe Goldens where we discuss training topics, hunting and all things Golden retriever: Podcast I also offer avery affordable online Patreon community where I am sharing a basics progression with videos demonstrating various aspects of the basics program as I work my young dogs through it.  patreon.com/RetrieverTrainingwithSterreKennels
