Problem Solvers: Gun Shyness/Gun Sensitivity - Gun Shyness & Sensitivity is a very complex problem.  While I have been successful in curing Gun Shyness & Sensitivity it isn't an absolute science so no guarantees can be offered.  However after a two week evaluation if a dog can not be cured I will return the dog with no further charges. Cost:  $600 a month or $20 a day.

Rattle Snake diversion - Rattle Snakes can be deadly to a hunting dog.  I have a successful program that will prevent your dog from coming near another snake again.  We will be offering two clinics - once in the spring and once in the fall and private week end lessons through out the year.  Please check for availability during the winter months. Cost: Spring & Fall clinic $50 [Our Vet will also be available then to give Anti Snake Vaccines for a reduced rate]. Private week end rate:  $75 for the week end.
