Easy to handle, personal, gun dogs are Cerda-Fied Gundogs specialty. Our program is flexible so that each dog receives the type of training that will be the most productive for its particular
temperament. We evaluate each dog for up to 7-10 days. If your dog is a
pointing dog we first check for natural desire and pointing ability.
This time is spent on live and frozen birds and, short training sessions to evaluate whether or not the dog has the potential to become a suitable gun dog.
We do not believe in obedience training for a month or more only, to
find out your dog has no usable pointing instinct. If the dog passes the evaluation, we begin the gun dog training process
immediately.
Not only do the dogs receive training, but the owner will also get step by
step, closely monitored instruction time, to train with the dog out in actual field conditions.
We have over 1000 acres of private shooting preserve available to work
dogs. This includes our own state licensed Sunrise Hunting Preserve LLC, which provides over 200 acres right at the kennel, to work with you and your dog in the field. Using
this" hands on" style of training, we have found that there are fewer communication problems between the dog and the owner after the trained dog leaves the kennel.
Cerda-Fied Gundogs operates Sunrise Kennel LLC, which is a brand new, state of the art facility, with indoor/outdoor, heated and cooled dog runs. We have a large attached administration/clubhouse area in which to relax and share your favorite dog tales.
Cerda-Fied Gun dogs trains all breeds of dogs, from high-powered gun dogs, to
obedience training well-mannered family dogs.
Call for a reservation today as we only accept the number of dogs that we can work on a regular basis. Dogs are worked Monday through Friday and shown individually to owners every other Saturday, or weekdays by appointment. Other Saturdays may include client/dog group training days by special appointment.
Unscheduled visits will cut into another dogs training time. All weekend
visits must be scheduled in advance. Weekday visits must be scheduled at
least one day in advance. (Sundays are set aside for family time and church.)
Exceptions can be made on admission for training, but depending on the time
of year, we suggest that you call in advance for training
reservations.
