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.
  • One on One training for you and your pup $100 per hour plus the cost of game birds.

It's with heavy heart to inform all of our Dog Friends that we are officially retiring from Dog Training as of June 2025.
Entering into another chapter in our lives, we have decided that it's time for a second retirement, enjoy our family, go fishing, hiking, and have fun in the sun during the summer. 
We have loved our time as your Dog Trainers and will be more than happy to do scheduled one on one training but no more monthly boarding.
Thank you for your faith in us and we wish you all Happy Hunting!
