Gun Dog Training Program 
For years, successful hunting guides and field trial enthusiasts have benefited from the Orvis-endorsed Hunting Dog Program at Crockett Ranch. Now the same program is available to the general public, but space is very limited.
Your special gundog will begin each day with a brush-up on his yard work and basic obedience skills. He will then be evaluated to develop a conditioning program that addresses his or her particular needs while increasing stamina and endurance. Your hunting companion will finish each day with exposure to both the wild, elusive bobwhite quail and quality liberated birds. Of course, training is always conducted with your personal hunting style in mind, be it on foot, vehicle, or horseback.
Our training program is designed for dogs as young as four months. Pups are taught to hunt and are heavily exposed to birds with introduction of the gun at the appropriate time. The program evaluates gundog pups by developing their own natural talent in a fun and relaxed manner in preparation for more formal training.
Training is available year round, with a special autumn tune-up program so that your gundog is ready prior to hunting season. Don’t waste your valuable hunting time by waiting until opening day to work and condition your prized gundog. Take advantage of the Crockett Ranch special 30-Day Preseason Gundog Program.
Our 2007 Crockett Ranch Dog Training Program is $500 per month, plus the cost of birds. This price includes boarding (normally $10 per dog per day).
Documentation of current vaccinations, micro-chip or tattoo I.D. required. Micro-chipping can be performed at Crockett Ranch for $35.

Crockett Ranch has had the pleasure of training many promising young setters for their careers in the field, and we have a reputation for a job well done. The beautiful male setter pictured to the left is “Boze”. He is a linebred white and orange setter out of Hall of Fame Champion Bozeann’s Mosely. His owner is the well respected former football star of the Dallas Cowboys, Mr. Leeroy Jordan of Dallas, Texas. Boze is being polished on his birdwork and will be ready for many days in the field this fall with Mr. Jordan.
