Kirby Mountain Sporting Dogs is closed Sundays and Mondays. Training is Tuesday – Saturday and all business at our facility is done by appointment only. Feel free to call and check on the progress of your dog, but remember that we are not sitting by the phone—there is training and care that is ongoing 7 days a week and 24 hours a day.


Training Contract

  1. 1.I understand that I will be leaving my dog for training and that John Hayes, the trainer, is not responsible for injury, death, or loss of the dog.

  2. 2.The dog will be highly cared for and will be fed top quality dog food.

  3. 3. My dog will be given medication that is prescribed by my veterinarian. John Hayes has the right to bring my dog to his veterinarian if he thinks it is necessary at my expense. (If you, the dog owner, wish heartworm medication to be given, it needs to be in a monthly, chewable dose [i.e. Heartguard].)

  4. 4.The cost for training my dog is $30.00 per day. This price is all inclusive.

  5. 5.When leaving my dog, these guidelines will be followed:

  6. a.I will arrive at my scheduled time as other appointments and training are scheduled around my appointment. (Most importantly all appointments are scheduled for the optimum and safest work time as the heat of the day can affect both the dog’s performance and health.)

  7. b.My dog/dogs must be on a leash when out of my car.

  8. 3.Some dogs can accept a great deal of training in 30 days, others are just getting started. The average adult dog needs 6 months of intensive training to be a proficient gun dog. If I leave my dog for less time, I do not expect a fully trained dog. Obedience training may take less time dependent upon what I, the owner, expect to get done and upon how diligent I am with the follow up at home.

  9. 4.When I come to pick up my dog, I will expect to spend the time the trainer feels is necessary for me to learn the techniques that the my dog and the trainer have used so that I will have the skills to follow through on the training.

 

The following is required before leaving your dog for training at Kirby Mountain Sporting Dogs:


  1. 1.Proof of shots – distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, canine parvovirus, coronavirus, and bordetella (kennel cough).


  1. 2.Proof of recent stool sample – proving negative on worms or internal parasites is needed.



  1. There will be a $50.00 (and the cost of a veterinary visit) surcharge if your dog tests positive for parasites once it is here. This charge only partially covers the time and inconvenience of a veterinary visit and the possible contamination of the facility.
