Texoma Retrievers is a professional gun dog and hunt test dog training business located in Geronimo, Oklahoma, founded and operated by Justin Jackson, a certified trainer with eight years of experience. They specialize in training retrievers for hunting, hunt tests, and field trials through structured programs including Puppy Head Start, Basics/Gun Dog, and advanced Hunt Test/Field Trial training. Their facility spans 80 acres with varied terrain, technical ponds, and temperature-controlled indoor/outdoor kennels, providing optimal training environments. They emphasize positive reinforcement, respect for the dog, and health-focused care, including proper nutrition. Justin competes at national levels in AKC and UKC events and has trained multiple Master National and HRC Grand Qualifiers. The business is supported by Kayla Jackson, who manages operations, and they also offer waterfowl hunting guides through their affiliated service, Money Band Outfitters.

They train puppies as young as 10 weeks through adolescence and adulthood, focusing on obedience, force fetch, e-collar conditioning, marks, blinds, steadiness, and honor work. All programs are conducted at their private facility and include board-and-train options. They do not offer in-home, group, or video training.
