No one wants to end up with a dog that's mediocre at best. Those types of dogs are an embarrassment to take to the blind. 

Here is why you shouldn't have to settle...

Have you ever hunted with someone that has a dog that whines in the blind, flares birds because it can't sit steady or is totally out of control? 

No one sets out to have THAT dog. But... all too often that's what ends up happening. The scary part is that most of the time they don't know it until it's too late. Their dog seemed to be doing fine, but before they knew it, they were on a hunt and having to yell at their dog and it still wouldn't listen! If only they had the right plan.

With 52 Plus you won't have to settle. You can train your dog to be quiet, calm, and under total control so that you have a dog anyone would be proud to have in their blind.

52 Plus System Deep Dive

Phase 1: Foundations

• Month 1: In the first month you will bring your pup into the home, teach your dog how to learn, and begin basic obedience.

• Month 2: Building off of month one, you will now work on teaching your dog all basic obedience. Along with basic obedience, you will solidify your dog's learning foundation and develop trust between you and your retriever.

• Month 3: Building off of month two, you will now teach intermediate obedience and combine it with basic obedience. This month will expand your dog's knowledge and set you up for success in month four.

• Month 4: In this month you will start your transition into field work. Here you are going to wrap up the Foundations Phase with vital skill sets that will be revisited in later phases. You will expand your dog's mind, build trust, and get ready for the fun that is ahead!

Phase 2: Fetch

• Month 5: In this month you will transition from field prep to the fetch phase. Here you will learn in-depth how to train your dog to retrieve like a champion. The details matter and you will leave no detail to chance here.
  
  
• Month 6: Building off of month five, you will finish the final details of developing a perfect Fetch, Hold, and Release. Along with that, you will work on rock solid steadiness and sharping the final details that you need to excel in the next phase.

Phase 3: Basic Gundog

• Month 7: In this month it will be as if you've gone from jogging to a full out sprint. From lining, marking, to gunfire you and your dog will be having a blast as you finally start to see the immense promise of a gundog. Here you will cover primary basic gundog skills. 
  
  
• Month 8: Building off of month seven, you will advance your dogs gundog skills even more. You will cover drills that involve launchers, water, steadiness and more! You will also tie in some earlier advanced obedience skills so that they can continue to be developed. Along with all of this, you will be teaching your dog the foundations that it needs to be successful on a hunt.
  
  
• Month 9: In this month, you will see a lot come together. From working with other dogs, to working through decoys and retrieving frozen birds, your dog will gain the final skill sets that it needs to be able to participate in a hunt. There's still loads of work to be done, but upon completing this stage you will have a basic gundog on your hands!

Phase 4: Intermediate Gundog

• Month 10: In this month you will get serious about teaching handling. Here your partnership with your dog will grow significantly. Your dog will learn to trust your every command as you teach it to handle based on the command you give. Along with handling you will continue to generalize previous skills and take your dogs lining to a whole new level.
  
  
• Month 11: Building off of month ten, you will advance your dogs handling and marking capabilities to the next level. The ground work that you've laid will allow you to instill MASSIVE confidence which sets the stage for great blind retrieves which ultimately enhances you and your dog's partnership. 

Phase 5: Advanced Gundog

• Month 12: In this month you will see a lot come together from all that you've been working on. From advanced marks to advancing cold blind retrieves you and your dog are becoming a force to be reckoned with. You will also be adding a few finesse skills that will allow you to dominate the hunting field. 
  
  
• Month 13: Here you will build off of month twelve and add some final touches to your dog's skill sets. Along with that you will generalize what you've taught in different settings so that your dog can be prepared for all the hunting that you and your companion will do.

Phase 6: Fully Trained

• Month 14: In this month you will practically see all of the pieces fit together in real world setups. Your dog will lean on everything that you've taught it and as you work through the set ups your dog will gain confidence in with real world setups. Upon completing this phase your fully trained hunting retriever should be as prepared for the real thing as it can be. Moving forward you can take all of the knowledge that you've learned and continue enjoying your retriever for years to come!
