COLLIER KENNELS can take your dog to its highest potential, whatever your bird dog training needs are:

• obedience
• hunting
• pointing

• rattlesnake avoidance
• or refresher training

JAMES COLLIER, owner of COLLIER KENNELS, is a veteran Bird Dog Trainer. It would be difficult to find a trainer more qualified or more successful in preparing a Bird Dog to please its master and perform well during the bird hunt.

By using positive motivational training all the dog¡¯s natural ability, which is controlled by his or her genetic make-up, is brought up to the highest level.

At some time during the training, compulsion may be used and correction may occur--but only when the Bird Dog knows the difference between a mistake and disobedience. James does not use a loud voice, hit, or strike any dog. Bird dogs are bred to hunt, but good training techniques are essential in developing the dog¡¯s natural instincts and intensifying their innate desire to please their owner. Remember, good training is 85% reward, 10% correction, and 5% discipline.

COLLIER KENNELS also provides Refresher Training for your Bird Dog. Dogs need to get in shape prior to hunting season. They need to be refreshed on commands and how to work with other dogs. All dogs get a little ¡°rusty¡± after not hunting for 8-9 months.' The Refresher Training puts your Bird Dog at the top of its game.
