For dog training, the experience provided for a young dog to get on the scent of a bird and learn tracking is a very important lesson. "The experience created for a young dog, to have repetition of bird after bird, will be what makes a good dog a great dog in later years".  Rocky Ridge also provides hunting dog training. "We take any hunting breed, 4 to 6 months old or older and do our best to get it ready for the field. " It is always best to start with quality genetics and breeding". "If the dog has what it takes, we can bring out the best in them using positive reinforcement". Within three months, we can take an inexperienced pup and end up with a well-trained, obedient, field companion. Of course, not all the birds are harvested during a hunt. A percentage of the birds released, elude the dog and hunter. Once they are in the wild they are subject to nature and its forces. Potentially to be eaten by a predator. "Our Clients are true conservationists and by indirectly restocking the area with pheasants, and with the quality habitat, the area becomes alive with many different wildlife species for viewing by our guests".
