Training Programs
Obedience
At Alpine Versatile Hunting Dogs, our obedience training program is designed to instill disciplined behavior both in the field and at home. Our specialized training encompasses hunting obedience and house manners, ensuring that our dogs are well-behaved and reliable in any environment. We believe that a well-trained hunting dog is not only an effective partner in the field but also a respectful and obedient companion at home. Through our comprehensive program, we focus on developing a strong foundation of obedience, including retrieving, pointing, and steadiness in the field. Simultaneously, we emphasize house manners such as leash walking, crate training, and appropriate social behaviors. Our approach ensures that our dogs are not only exceptional hunters but also well-behaved members of the family, making them versatile and reliable in any setting.
