There is no greater joy than hunting with a well-trained retriever.

At Just Ducky Academy each dog is trained according to his/her personality.

Clicker training – a positive reinforcement method using food treats - is utilized on all new students. Once the pupil is conditioned to respond reliably, the food incentive is removed gradually and then completely.

All students are also e-collar conditioned so that when negative reinforcement is required the least amount of stimulation can be used to get positive results.

Whistle, voice and hand signals are utilized on all commands
