Testimonials

We’ve had a fantastic experience working with Greg and there is no one else I’d trust with my dog. Greg started working with our GSP Shooter when he was just a pup. You can invest in blood lines all day long but no matter what you have, there is a big difference between training your own dog vs hiring a professional, and we couldn’t be happier that we found Greg. Shooter is a great listener. He will hold tight pointing for as long as I want him to along with retrieving it to my hand every single time. My kids are young and Shooter has been amazing no matter who is behind the gun and I have Greg to thank for that. When we aren’t hunting Shooter is very well behaved around the house. Greg has a tremendous amount of patience and truly connects with the dogs he works with. If you are considering who to go to for upland hunting dog training you need to go no further. Give Greg a call today!

My Labrador pup Eddie started water training/swimming very early followed by upland training including pointing–Eddie is outstanding at pointing and holding wild quail. Every year he gets his tune-up before wild bird season with Greg. Now at five years old all Eddie and I do each Fall is smile.
