About Our Dog Training Programs
Circle T Retrievers will do a prescreening for each dog before entering into the training program, given by Jarrett Thompson. Also, every dog must have proper documentation of vet records, such as vacations and shots, beforethey will be allowed to enter into training. All dogs are required to have current flea and tick medications while in training. Circle T Retrievers will provide Nex-Guard for an additional $22 a month, if the dog does not have this prior. ProHeart 6 can also be provided for $70 total by veterinarian for heartworm prevention. If other medications are desired we can provide these for an additional charge.
Circle T Retrievers feeds Purina ProPlan Sport dog food to all dogs in training. If you wish for your dog to eat different dog food you will either provide the food or provide payment for pick-up and purchase of the different
food.
Circle T retrievers will not be responsible for an injuries your dog may attain during training sessions. If your dog is harmed during these events you will be responsible for all veterinary bills. The dog will be able to return for the remaining amount of training when it is deemed fully healthy or able to start rehab. 10 week programs are a general basis for all dogs completing training. All dogs progress at different rates during the training program. It may take longer for some dogs to grasp training concepts. Clients will receive updates
on their dogs’ progress every few weeks.
Hunt test fees are an additional charge not included in the training price. The price will vary depending on what level your dog is competing. Client will be required to pay for the entry fees for competition, handler’s fee for each day the dog will be running, and performance fees for each test the dog passes. Entry prices are subject to change per event. Special hunting trips are available for client dogs to attend. Contact for pricing. Appointments are available for clients to come work with their dogs. Notice must be given at least two days prior. Pick-up and delivery of dogs coming into or leaving training is available and can be arranged for an additional fee,

In the seasoned level retriever program we are advancing the dog through basic handling drills on land and water. Then we are working your dog on simple to moderate blinds. Our goal in the seasoned level dog training program is teaching your dog to be able to mark multiple birds down, retrieve to hand, and then run a short to mid range blind with a diversion bird. Your dog will graduate with the skills to hunt and successfully run a seasoned level hunt test.
