Backwoods Retriever Training

We also offer obedience training for any breed dog over 20 pounds. Hello, my name is Garrett Meier, and I’m the head trainer at Backwoods Retrievers.
(310)

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.

Henry’s last day of duck dog training! This 3ish year old guy came to me and believe it or not his owners got him from the pound! Henry had some great drive to retrieve but you could tell he had some demons from his unknown past. We had to really take our time and build his trust and skills at his pace. Even more so than most dogs I’ve trained. But man once he got on board and trusted this was all for fun and excitement, Henry really cracked on with his training! Henry is now ready to get after some birds and really enjoy his new skills with his family. Can’t wait to see Henry pile up stacks of birds!!

Maggie’s last day of obedience training! Maggie came to me with hope of being on a mule team to pull a plow! She would do her best to try pull you where she wanted to go! Now Maggie is a dream to walk on and off leash. I wouldn’t be afraid to take her anywhere. Maggie has come so far in her training, and has become a fantastic family dog to enjoy!
