Hunter's Rose Kennel is a full service training kennel. We train from bird introduction and basic obedience to advance handling and steady to wing and shot. We realize most hunters do not need the advanced work and work with you in getting what you want out of your dog. One of the most fulfilling aspects of dog training is watching young dogs develop and we feel we have the tools to develop a great bird dog. Here at HRK we also run dogs in the HRC and APLA and have earned the highest title in the APLA with three of our own. We also Force Fetch and Whoa break for those in need of speciality training.
All vaccinations need to be current before bringing your dog to HRK, please bring your up to date rabies certificate with you.
While here your dog will be fed the required protein and fat contents it needs to remain healthy and fit. Currently we feed Enhance products which our top athletes get a 31/22 and our boarding dogs a 27/17. Our training regimen accompanied with our feeding program will allow your dog to become the best athlete possible in short order.

PLEASE READ
Having your dog trained involves patience, trust and a strong commitment from its owners, for most of us a Labrador is not just a hunting dog but a part of the family and because of that strong bond throughout your household it should be a family decision to send your pet away to be trained for long periods of time. It is important before taking a dog to any training facility that it is understood that although your pet will be cared for, well fed and supplied with clean water and a clean kennel your dog will spend considerable time in a kennel and although to some this seems harsh- we all know ole Spots favorite place is on the couch napping near the fire- it is quite Ok and tolerable in the Canine mind. It is however common for 'New' dogs to the kennel to have an adjustment period which may result in your dog having a stressful first couple days here, sometimes this results in poor appetite and some kennel stress. We counter this by simply allowing your dog a couple days to settle in before adding the demands of training.
If it is your desire to run Hunt tests you may have to join organizations you are not members of, you will have to pay entry fees and you will have paper work to fill out with these organizations that is not always easy to locate or complete. Injuries are possible and common in hard working dogs especially in the upland fields, they can be as minor as chaffing and sprains or could be severe as in puncture wounds to breaks.
If needed your dog will receive veterinary care promptly. You are responsible for all bills associated with that care. You will not be able to just drop in to see your dog you will have to schedule an Appt to visit and we will most likely be able to accommodate you however you must be aware of the effort and time placed into all dogs here at HRK that we run a tight schedule especially during testing season so reasonable notice should be given.
