Webshire Kennels

Webshire Kennels offers in-house training programs where dogs stay at their facility for the duration of the training, with owners actively participating throughout the stay. These programs are individually tailored to the dog’s personality and the owner’s specific goals.

Their specialization lies in gun dog and competition retriever training, covering breeds such as Labrador, Golden, Flat-Coated, and Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers. They also prepare dogs for AKC Retriever Hunting Tests, upland bird hunting, waterfowl hunting, and pheasant hunting.

In addition to specialized training, they provide comprehensive all-breed obedience training, including basic obedience, manners training, and specific commands like coming when called, heeling, sitting, staying, and lying down.
