(305)

Specialize in duck dog training, whether you’re look for a gun dog or an advanced hunting retriever champion, we have a program to fit for you and your pup’s needs. I’m located in Paragould Arkansas right in the middle of great duck hunting country. I’ve been training for 24 years and trained countless numbers of dogs. I’m as diehard duck hunter as they come, I hunt at least 45 days out of the 60

day duck season we have here in Arkansas, mostly in the timber. As you know if you’ve ever been hunting in the timber you need a good duck dog to get the job done right and fast every time. If that’s what you looking for in a waterdog then you come to the right place.

Chief’s last day of duck dog training!! This LBD was definitely a tough nut to crack to say the least, but nothing we couldn’t handle! Chief matured into his training and really enjoyed that I was giving him an objective. Chief has become an excellent duck dog. He’s real fun to watch do his thing in the field! We can’t wait to see what he can do and the birds he will pile up! Go get em Chief!!

Winnie’s last day of duck dog training!! This soft hearted gal came to me with some good foundation work but needed some touching up and toughness put into her. After I got her figured out training wise, Winnie really took big steps in her training. Now Winnie is ready to get after some birds and will be stacking them up! We can’t wait to see what she can do! Winnie has become a heck of a duck dog!!

Flash’s last day of obedience training! Flash came to me with a jumping and no spatial awareness. Once he got with the program, Flash settled into his new obedient role. Now he’s easy to walk on and off leash, and has become a very enjoyable family member.
