Our Training Methods
Acquisition
At Bethel Woods Kennels, we understand that every dog has unique needs. That’s why we start by teaching your dog how to learn—the foundation of every successful training program. Whether you want to train your dog to be an obedient house pet or a skilled hunting companion, we provide each of our trained dogs with the same basics to set a solid foundation for success.
Fluency
We understand that dog training is like learning a new language. In order for your dog to fully absorb and utilize a new skill, they must become fluent in it. That's why our training techniques involve consistent repetition of each skill until it is deeply embedded in your dog's thought process. By firming this foundation of obedience, you'll be setting your retriever up for success at the next level, with clear expectations and a high level of trust.
Generalization
The process of reproducing the desired behavior in various environments, settings, and conditions different from the initially trained behavior in the original environment. For the dog, details may have more significance than they do for us, so what they learn in the yard doesn’t easily translate to being the same thing when in the field. we ensure that each dog is trained in multiple environments and scenarios, so that you can be confident that your dog can handle any situation you encounter together. Trust us to provide comprehensive training for your dog to achieve the best outcomes, wherever you go.
Maintainence
maintaining your dog’s skills is just as important as teaching them. We use a variety of methods to advance their skills and keep the ones they've learned sharp. Our expert trainers will work tirelessly to ensure that your dog is always at the top of their game.
