Hunting Dog Training Questionnaire

Training Questionnaire

We utilize this to help develop a plan/understanding for you and your dog(s). The goal is to establish a baseline and understand your expectations and what you plan to do with the pup. We do need an 100% HONEST assessment. We are not judging you, your training knowledge, style of training , etc. We just need to understand the whole picture to better build a plan for your pup. If you do not know some of the answers regarding what you want out of the dog, we can offer our input and suggestions, but this is your dog and we want it to hunt for you, not for me or for anyone else’s standards.
