Additional Costs:
All gun dogs will be trained using live and dead birds, these birds will consist of ducks, pheasants, chukars, and pigeons. Live birds will be paid for at the end of each billing cycle. The cost of live birds will vary depending on type and current price and will be the wholesale price at the time of purchase.

All prices include dog food (Purina Pro Plan), if you desire a special dog food or food supplements to be fed to your dog you will be required to supply it or pay the additional cost. The owner will be responsible for all medical bills including heart worm and Frontline (or similar products) Because of the small number of dogs trained at one time, space is limited. Therefore, I require a $200 dollar advance payment upon advance reservation. This will be applied to your 1st payment and is nonrefundable unless you are able to find a replacement dog to be placed in the gun dog training program.
