to 20 so that we can be sure that we are giving all
of our dog’s quality training. Our Training
facility consists of 150 acres 2 1/2 miles east of
Bonham TX with three training ponds and rolling terrain.
We also have access to a variety training land within

PRTA
Ethics
The Professional Retriever Trainers Association
(PRTA) has a code of ethics that we feel is a good
example of retriever training ethics, which we fully support.
We
evaluate each retriever fairly to determine that the goal
is consistent with the retriever's talents and abilities.
We do this on a continuing basis, and will let you, the
client, know if the retriever is not capable of the goal
you had set for it. Whether in training or at a trial, we
demand professionalism and good sportsmanship.
We
believe in the fair treatment of our retrievers. We abhor
the violence we sometimes see passed on as "tough correction"
in retriever training. Humans should not take out their
frustrations on their canine companions.
We
also believe that a clients ethics, reflect on us as well.
We expect our clients to hold and conduct themselves with
the same ethical and professional standards as we do.
