Dog Training

Report

Check out a recent interview on the Sporting Dog Talk Podcast with Tony Peterson and Chad Hines. Willow Creek is constantly seeking ways to incorporate a more positive approach to training all breeds of dogs, utilizing both researched methods and innovative experimenting. We typically book out several months in advance, sometimes longer during peak training months.

Pointing

Report

Develop whoa, here, heel and kennel with positive reinforcement, collar conditioning, and many other methods. Most dogs will have a handle on stop to flush, if they bump the birds we will whoa them if they are ready for it in the final week. If you are looking for advanced training it is recommended to allow for at least 3 months of training.

Flushing

Report

One Month Program for Upland Flusher / Retrieving Breeds - Recommended Age is 8 - 10 Months Old. Extending this training beyond one month would allow for work on a conditioned retrieve, sit to flush steadiness training, hand signals, increased marking abiliity and difficulty, blind retrieves and more experience.

German Shorthairs

Report

Willow Creek German Shorthairs are bred for early development, intelligence, bird drive, natural ability, bird sense and a cooperative. The studs we use are our own. On occasion we take a favorite female to an outside male to bring in some great complimentary traits for our lines. Our German Shorthair puppies are serious hunting dogs that excel at both upland and waterfowl and are equally comfortable pursuing grouse, woodcock, ducks and geese.
