Beaver Creek Kennels Inc.

Beaver Creek Kennels offers three main obedience programs: Fast Track (3–5 weeks), Kennel Board & Train (6–8 weeks), and Private Sessions (in-person or in-home).

Private Sessions are customized for owners who want to actively participate. Gun dog training is offered in three progressive levels: Started (12–16 weeks), Intermediate (12–16 weeks), and Finished (12–16 weeks), each building on the previous. All programs include structured owner visits, graduation sessions, and lifelong support. Equipment packages are recommended for home success.
