Dog Training

Whether you are simply looking for a good family pet or a well-trained hunting dog, it all begins with a solid foundation of socialization and obedience training followed by skills development. Jock River Kennels offers a number of options to meet your needs.

Puppy Class

When your puppy leaves the comfort of its mother and litter mates to be welcomed into their new home, they require socialization to be comfortable in new environments and to keep them confident in new situations.

Good Manners

For most people, a dog is a family pet first and a hunting dog second. A happy household involves having a dog that responds to basic commands. As a result, it behaves in an appropriate and well-mannered way when it is in your home, someone else’s home, or in a public place where it is in the presence of other people, other dogs, or other animals.

Board & Train

Are you someone who wants a well-trained dog, but don’t have the time or the interest in completing the training yourself? Jock River Kennels has the perfect solution for you. Leave your dog with us and we’ll do the training for you.

Obedience Training

This option allows your dog to achieve the results of the Puppy Class and Good Manners training without having to attend weekly group training sessions. Instead, your dog will receive one-on-one instruction with our professional trainer.

Gun Dog Training

This option is for someone who loves to hunt and is looking to have someone else train their dog to be a good hunting partner. Jock River Kennels will train your dog to meet the hunt test standards established by the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) for one or more of the following hunting levels: Junior Hunter, Senior Hunter, or Master Hunter. (Refer to section 9 – Test Requirements of the CKC Hunt Test Rules and Regulations for Retrievers, Barbet, Irish Water Spaniels & Standard Poodles)
