Having your dog trained involves patience, trust and a strong commitment from its owners, for most of us a Labrador is not just a hunting dog, but a part of the family and because of that strong bond throughout your household it should be a family decision to send your pet away to be trained for long periods of time. It is important before taking a dog to any training facility that it is understood that although your pet will be cared for, well fed and supplied with clean water and a clean kennel your dog will spend considerable time in a kennel and although to some this seems harsh- we all know ole Spots favorite place is on the couch napping near the fire- it is quite Ok and tolerable in the Canine mind. It is, however common for 'New' dogs to the kennel to have an adjustment period which may result in your dog having a stressful first couple days here, sometimes this results in poor appetite and some kennel stress. We counter this by simply allowing your dog a couple days to settle in before adding the demands of training. If it is your desire to run Hunt tests you may have to join organizations you are not members of, you will have to pay entry fees and you will have paper work to fill out with these organizations that is not always easy to locate or complete. Injuries are possible and common in hard working dogs especially in the upland fields, they can be as minor as chaffing and sprains or could be severe as puncture wounds or breaks. If needed, your dog will receive veterinary care promptly. You are responsible for all bills associated with that care. You will not be able to just drop in to see your dog you will have to schedule an appointment to visit and we will most likely be able to accommodate you, however, you must be aware of the effort and time placed into all dogs here at VGL that we run a tight schedule especially during testing season so reasonable notice should be given. ~Having your dog trained is a commitment- a family decision~ Please Complete both our Boarding document and Training Contract below to reserve a spot for your dog in our training program Boarding Contract Training Contract Valley Gate Labradors is pleased to announce that we have worked out a partnership with some of the best names in gun dog training equipment.
