Winter Kennels offers specialized training programs primarily for hunting breeds, including bird dog training, gun dog training, and disciplinary coaching for pointers and retrievers. They also provide crucial snake avoidance training and general obedience instruction.

A key aspect of their approach is teaching owners the training methods used, empowering them to continue polishing their dog’s skills. Clients are offered three refresher sessions annually on specific dates, with individual refreshers also available by appointment for a fee.

The training is personalized, with the current trainer, Cory, adhering to a philosophy of only taking on as many dogs as she can personally train.

Winter Kennels is a dog training business that has been serving dog owners since 1969, focusing on strengthening the relationship between owners and their pets. They specialize in training hunting breeds, offering services such as bird dog training, gun dog training, disciplinary coaching for pointers and retrievers, snake avoidance, and general obedience instruction.

The business was founded on the philosophy of personalized training by its former main trainer, Harlen, who had over 46 years of experience. His daughter, Cory, now continues this tradition, personally training each dog and treating them as if they were her own. Winter Kennels also provides boarding services for their clients’ dogs.

They are committed to ensuring dogs are well-prepared for hunting ventures and also teach owners the skills needed to reinforce their dog’s training.
