administration of heartworm preventative and Frontline flea and tick control once a month.
Heartworm and Frontline are provided by Mallard Machine Retrievers for an additional $25
a month. Owner also has the option to provide this in advance at his own cost.
We normally train six days per week, in almost all weather, making exceptions as rarely as
possible (we do miss training days for hunt tests and field trials and will be glad to discuss our
planned trial schedule).
We encourage owners to visit, view, or work with their dog and others, and learn about the
training process. Visits must be planned around our training schedule
While we use considerable care to reduce risks, training involves unavoidable hazards. Dogs
must work off-lead, at some distance from the trainer, in a variety of hunting-type settings.
Risks include but are not limited to escape, bloat, snakebite, and collision with unseen
obstacles. We will be happy to explain the measures we take to address various risks, but we
are not liable for mishaps to your dog during training. If in our judgment your dog needs
veterinary attention, we will transport him or her to the nearest competent vet immediately.
As we do not anticipate any of these risks, please be aware you will be responsible for these
costs if medical attention is necessary.
We feed a premium adult-formula dry dog food. If you feel puppy food is more appropriate
for your puppy, we will give your puppy food that you provide. Otherwise we will feed
special food only in cases of medical necessity.
Training fees are due at the beginning of each month of training. We keep weekly progress
reports that are available for review upon owner’s request.
For the safety of your dog and others, owners are required to provide a current vet record of
yearly shots and immunizations (including parvo and kennel cough).
