Premier Gundogs Training Kennel, Inc. is a state-licensed, full-service gun dog training facility owned and operated by Dale and Kris Taylor in Hallam, Nebraska. They specialize in training hunting dogs—including retrievers, spaniels, and pointing breeds—to a true hunting level using low-pressure, time-tested methods that build confidence and harness natural instincts. Their programs are tailored by age, breed, and hunting goals, starting with Foundation Training for puppies that focuses on bird drive, gunfire introduction, and field confidence. They offer structured programs for upland, waterfowl, and dove hunting, progressing from puppy foundation to advanced, finished dog levels. They also breed and train Boykin Spaniels and are a Gold-Level Preferred Breeder with the Boykin Spaniel Society. Training includes e-collar control, obedience, marking, blind retrieves, and decoy work in realistic hunting scenarios. They sell training equipment through Grain Valley Dog Supply and emphasize early bird exposure and natural retrieving development over bumper-only drills.

Their facility-based training includes on-site training grounds with food plots, CRP, and brome cover to simulate real hunting environments. They train dogs from 12 weeks old through adulthood, with programs designed to produce obedient, confident, and effective hunting partners. Clients can choose from foundation, formal, and advanced training phases depending on their dog’s needs.

They provide board-and-train services, with clients typically leaving dogs for multi-month intensive programs. Communication with owners is done via phone and text updates during training. They also maintain an active Facebook page with training updates and photos.
