Clean Up the Work Before the Season.
PRESEASON AND REFRESHER TRAINING
A trained dog can become rusty.
Obedience gets loose. Delivery becomes sloppy. The dog starts creeping. Whistle response slows down. Handling becomes more of an argument than a conversation.
A tune-up is focused work for a dog that already has a foundation but needs its standard brought back.

WHAT A TUNE-UP IS NOT
A tune-up does not replace Basic Gun Dog Training.
Dogs without formal obedience, force fetch, steadiness, or handling foundations may need a full training program instead of a short refresher.
We will evaluate where the dog actually stands before recommending the right option.
