Feathers &amp; Focus: Fun Field Skills for Sporting Dogs
Reward-Based Intensive Workshop

📍 Bloomington, MN (Twin Cities Area)
⏱️ 2.5-Hour Hands-On Intensive
🎯 Limited Working Spots for Individual Coaching

Have a sporting breed dog?

Labs, Goldens, German Shorthaired Pointers, Spaniels, Vizslas… dogs bred to hunt, think, and work.

👉 Whether you hunt or not, we’ll show you how to channel that instinct into focus, skill, and real-world control.

👉 Only a small number of working spots are available so we can provide real one-on-one coaching.

Turn Your Dog’s Drive Into Focus, Skill, and Control

If your dog:

• Chases birds, squirrels, or anything that moves
• Gets overstimulated outdoors
• Has tons of drive but no clear direction
• Struggles to listen once excitement kicks in

👉 This workshop gives you a clear, structured way to work with your dog’s instincts instead of fighting against them.

This Is NOT a Typical Dog Training Class

This is a small-group, hands-on intensive where:

✔ You and your dog are actively working (not sitting and watching)
✔ Trainers coach you in real time
✔ You get individual guidance and adjustments
✔ We meet your dog exactly where they are

This is about doing, not just learning.

A Different Kind of Gun Dog Training

No force.
No pressure.
No outdated methods.

We use reward-based, positive reinforcement training to build a dog who:

Thinks before reacting

Channels drive into purpose

Works with you instead of against you

We call this the Thinking Gun Dog.

What You’ll Work On (With Your Dog)

🔥 Retrieve-building games (even for dogs who won’t pick up yet)
🔥 Steadiness — teaching your dog to think instead of launch
🔥 Field search using natural scenting ability
🔥 Send-out skills (building independence and direction)
🔥 Real-world outdoor focus and engagement

All exercises are adapted to your dog’s level.

Who This Is For

✔ Sporting breeds (Labs, Goldens, Spaniels, Vizslas, Pointers, Setters, etc.)
✔ High-drive pet dogs who need a job
✔ Hunting dogs or future hunting prospects
✔ Twin Cities dog owners looking for positive, reward-based training

👉 No hunting experience required.

Why This Matters

Sporting dogs were bred to:

• Move
• Think
• Problem-solve
• Work with a human partner

When those instincts aren’t channeled, they show up as:

❌ Overexcitement
❌ Pulling and chaos outdoors
❌ Ignoring commands
❌ Frustration for both of you

This workshop gives your dog a clear outlet and purpose.
