Thats one tired pup. Ripley, Rush, River and Rayne put up 31 of 40 planted birds today at The Hunt Club of Richmond. The cover is great, birds are getting bigger…. Book your hunt today!

Captain and Faouzi have been hinting at B**g St Park together and have become quite the team! I love getting text like this… Captain sure wasn’t easy to work with and he had a propensity to RUN…. Thanks to the help of Mark Oakley, Captain has become a damn fine Hunter!

Captain and Faouzi have been hunting at B**g St Park together and have become quite the team! I love getting text like this… Captain sure wasn’t easy to work with and he had a propensity of RUNNING AWAY. We fixed that and so much more and with the help of Mark Oakley, Captain has become a damn fine Hunter!

Pretty accurate hahaha.

Working with dogs is 60% cleaning,
20% fixing things they broke, 19% wondering how they injured themselves
and 1% training them.

We are still accepting reservations for holiday boarding.

Dog must be current with shots, have some obedience (we can help tighten this up if you choose) and not aggressive towards other dogs.

Book now while we still have open kennels.

How long does it take to train a bird dog?

I get this question a lot and I always say…. A lifetime.

Once we build a foundation for you it’s your job to give that dog the experience it needs to make him/her all they can be.

Follow up question is usually How long does it take to build a foundation… my response is always the same… that’s up to your dog. I know what has to be done and I know several way to accomplish the goal. Some dogs learn quickly… some not so much. One technique will work for one dog… maybe not so well with another dog.

You truly never know how a dog is going to do until you start. They have different personalities, different maturity, different reactions to different pressures, different puppy training, different parents….. there are so many variables that We/I have to wade through to find the right training technique to give you the dog you want. This takes time!

“Dogs are like a box of chocolate… Ya never know what you’re gonna get….

Till you start”!

Puppies are so much fun. This is Dollys first live bird… well, almost alive.

Someone will hunt their young dog for the first time this season, and someone will hunt their old dog for the last time… Both people will have a hunt they won’t forget.
