Services
Redfern Canines is dedicated to providing a quality dog-related
experience for owners and handlers who take their responsibility seriously.
We subscribe to the Code of Ethics of the
Harrisburg Kennel Club, and
strive to adhere to the Labrador Retriever Breed Standard of the
American Kennel Club and
the Labrador Retriever
Club. All puppies are provided with AKC
registration materials and a Pedigree of at least 4 generations.
Results of hip, elbow and eye certifications will be provided for the parents and,
whenever possible, for prior generations.
Our puppies are bred to produce a temperament and physical structure that raises the
bar for quality. Every possible precaution is taken to reduce the
likelihood of diseases or physical conditions that can affect the dogs as
they grow into adulthood.
Our puppies are born and raised in a home environment with lots of attention
to socializing them. They have nearly constant human companionship, & are raised
in a stimulus-rich environment. By the time they
are ready to move to their adoptive home, the puppies will have experienced
hundreds of hours of caring guidance.

Prospective Puppy Owner Questionnaire.
Dog Training Classes are available
using positive reinforcement methods. Training
opportunities include both Class Settings and Individualized
Instruction. Operant Conditioning (Clicker Training) helps the dog to
be more actively involved in their own growth and behavior and helps to
build a more wholesome long-term bond between dog and handler. The
Director of Training is a Certified Pet Dog Trainer (CPDT); member of the
Association of Pet Dog
Trainers (APDT), the
International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC) and the
Harrisburg Kennel Club; a
Canine
Good Citizen (CGC) Test Evaluator -- certified by the
American Kennel Club; and has been training dogs and dog owners
professionally for over 20 years.
Individual Training and
Consultation is available for owners who
prefer this option. Individual sessions are tailored to the family's
needs and convenience, and may cover basic training, behavior problems or
specific training roadblocks. These sessions may be
offered at the owner's home or other location by request.
Assistance Dog Training and Consultation provides training for
owners who would like their dogs to assist with mobility, hearing, or
emotional disabilities. Services include dog selection, training in all skills and
behaviors customized to the needs of the client, and consultation to address
ongoing needs and challenges.
Therapy Dog Training and Support Group. In addition to
providing training and seminars to teach both dogs and owner/handlers the
skills and behaviors required of Therapy Dogs, a Support Group holds regular
meetings to enable owner/handlers to share their experiences and hone their
skills.
Breeding and Pedigree Services
help guide individuals to make responsible choices regarding the breeding of
their own dogs. In some cases, we have been able to trace pedigrees
back through 12 or more generations.
Puppy
Temperament Evaluations are available as a service to Breeders and
Individuals. Evaluations help to determine the potential for training,
socialization and community involvement with humans and other animals, etc.
Evaluations are normally performed at seven weeks of age, although they can be performed at later stages in the dog's
life.
