Things to know before pursuing a started to seasoned dog from NTK:
We crate train and big advocates for crate training. We do not house break dogs. This is the easiest thing to do for clients with some effort. I don't have the house space or time to acclimate/house break dogs when I spend all day working dogs in the kennel or outdoors.
Training never stops.... ever. No matter if you bring home a puppy or a seasoned dogs, they are not cars to park in garages with push buttons to start and run when you are ready. They need daily interaction, tune up training, and consistency.
Dogs chew, shed hair, bark, act well behaved when expected to and misbehave when you let your guard down. They take advantages of situations just like children. They are animals.
Started to seasoned dogs need time to adjust. This can take 2 weeks to 2 months and even longer for some dogs depending on their temperament and your leadership. Dogs need time to learn their new leader, new family, and other "pack" members.
Our job here at NTK is to train you a working dog to perform tasks to a desired level. We are not magicians, modern day pet gurus, or follow the latest trends that society pushes. Dogs are dogs. Don't buy a dog to have if you can't maintain the dog properly and put effort in. We live in an instant oatmeal society, a dog doesn't and never has.
I don't bend my training to fit when season starts.
If the dog isn't ready to leave by the age milestone it will not leave. I do not charge extra if the dog needs a little extra time to get it right, in heat, or having a attitude problem.
I reserve the right to refuse to send a dog home to the owner if the dog isn't what the owner is looking for or "washes out". I will restart them a different dog or puppy.
(You are allowed 1-2 areas of training included in the pricing above. For example shed hunting and waterfowl or sheds and upland and so on. We DON'T do waterfowl and tracking combinations.)

Buying a started dog is always an exciting and sometimes nerve racking experience. We like to be as black and white as possible so both parties are on the same page. We will NOT hold a dog without a deposit down on the dog. Buyer WILL be subject to sign a liability form if the dog doesn't leave right away or continues training with us as apart of the purchase agreement. When we sell a started-finished dog, the dog will be overseen by our vet of choice, Dr. Lisa Reiter, before leaving our facility. We don't offer a guarantee. Our refund policy states that if you decide to back out of a started dog for any reason while the dog in training at our facility, we will relist, resell, and then refund you after the dog has sold. You will be refunded the full amount you had paid down on the dog. The does not include remaining unpaid balance.
