It has always been my intent to help the Amateur teach and train their own dog for Field work.
However, on occasion, life does get in the way. An Owner due to health, work obligations, vacations and other situations is unable to provide the much-needed training to advance their dog’s training.
I offer a Home away From Home environment for a limited number of dogs. I have two fenced in, secure dog areas, with exercise yards. Plus a fenced in drill field for handling drills. I have access to public land at Tolowa Dunes for enviromental exposure to cover and water (seasonal ponds). I have 4 good-sized kennel runs inside my two car garage. During the dog’s stay each individual dog will be worked according to their level of training, and what the owner and I determine is going to be most beneficial to the dog. Obedience, Force Fetching the dog, or teaching the dog to handle, bird work are my area of expertise. I will give the owner text reports on the progress of the dog . I also offer Handler Services to handle dogs at Hunt Tests in all levels from Junior through Master throughout the year. If you need me to handle your dog at an event the dog must either be in a Board and Train program currently with me. Or have a designated period of time in Board and Train to build a relationship and work with me. Due to limited space in the Board and Train program booking ahead of time is highly recommended. Long Term regular Board and Train dogs will be given first priority.
The requirements for a dog to stay with me are as follows:
1. Dog must be up to date on shots, and Bordatella. Owner to provide proof at time of initial drop off.
2. Dog must not be aggressive with other dogs or people.
3. Owner will provide Dog Food, leash, e-collar, bowls, blankets, toys and bark collar where needed.
4. Owner will sign waiver.
5. Owner will sign up and pay for all AKC Hunt Test Entries – Listing myself as alternate Handler
6. Board and Train Fees are due in advance.
7. Drop off and Pick up times need to be confirmed upon commencement of stay.
8. NO SICK OR COUGHING DOGS PLEASE!
9. Owner must sign Liability Waiver at time of drop off.
10. Owners must sign a policy and payment agreement at drop off.

Cheryl's Dog Training 
Fantastic service. I did this with my dog Tux when I had surgery. At that time Cheryl fine tuned some things with him that I needed done and exposed him to more blinds. Group marks improved from singles to doubles on a consistent basis. I would do this again without any hesitation. Pat Romeiro
