We Specialize in the training of pointing and flushing breeds
As a dog trainer and bird hunting enthusiast I believe:
- It’s important to pass on lessons learned to every future dog trainer, so that they may experience success with their dogs and the enjoyment of bird hunting in general.
- The thrill of the hunt has everything to do with the dog work and very little to do with the kill.
- My dogs will be well mannered at home and in the field.
- Well mannered dogs reflect the best of their breed.
- We hunt not for quantity, but rather for the opportunity to enjoy great dog work, and the general love of the sport with like minded friends.
- A good bird dog is a gift. Even if no birds are taken, you get to go home with your best friend.
- Training done with a strategic soft touch goes a long way to preserve the best of our dogs.
- Competition is a good way to challenge us as dog trainers, but shall not be used solely to gauge success as a trainer.
- A good bird dog deserves a hot shower after a hard day of work, and can sleep on the bed if he wants.
