Training:
For links to our video training collection, please visit our training page.  We also offer contact information for
various local clubs and training groups on this page.


Supplies:
If you are trying to get your hands on retriever training products, like bumpers, dokkens, whistles, etc, I
recommend  visiting
Canadian Gun Dog Supply. They are based out of Ontario and seem to have the best
prices on all sorts of dog training products, and their service is swell! (No, we don't get any kick backs, but
feel free to tell them we sent you anyway!)

We order our agility tunnels from
NTI Global. They are very reasonably priced and I believe there is free
shipping. What a deal!

Other agility equipment can be ordered in BC from
Canadian Dog Agility Equipment. The equipment is
top-notch and you can expect first rate service from Dan.  

Visit our Amazon Bookstore  for all kinds of training books.  Also
Dogwise has some books that aren't carried
anywhere else.
Pedigrees

A pedigree is a family
tree that indicates how
dogs are related. It may
include valuable
information on each
dog's health, color, and
performance record.
