Owner Involvement is especially encouraged. We work with you regularly as your dog progresses.
I encourage you, as the owner of your dog, to be part of their training as much as you have time, interest and ability. I have a complete teaching program for owners to learn how to run their own dog along with other dogs. You and your dog are taught to be a proficient team to become competitive and confident Field Trial Handlers.
Testimonials
The duck season has been challenging.
The weather refuses to cooperate.
Gizmo is doing very well. His excellent nose serves him well in our thick cover.
He has energy to burn and won't quit on a bird.
Gizmo is also a gentleman in the house.
I couldn't be more pleased.
Best wishes,

Can't tell you how good it was to see you standing behind the Judges in the 4th series of the Derby, when I handled Cutter on the memory mark. The startled look on the judges faces made me think for a fleeting moment that I had just blown a placement. (fat chance). However, your broad smile and thumbs up was so reassuring that I had done the right thing. Once again, thank you for your continued support and encouragements. - Anne Schlosser
Thanks for all your input on Zipper. I really appreciate your help and guidance. Wish I was closer so I could work with you more. You have really done a wonderful job with Zipper and I can't thank you enough. Sincerely, - Gaylene Cranford
I heard from observers that Faith did a really awesome job. Thanks again for all your hard work with her, and for leading her to victory. I hope I can do her the same justice one day.

"Belated thanks for the training day with Anne last month. It was soooo helpful and opened my eyes to holes in my training and handling. I have been reworking Ryder's force to the back pile, being more consistant with his obedience and working on his blinds. I also have a round platform to help me with his wagon wheel drill. I am looking forward to returning with Anne this month and periodically when I can make the trip.
I have been training dogs in field and obedience for many years and I am so impressed with your philosophy of teaching and training the dogs you have , I admire your success and look forward to more training sessions with Red Ryder this year. My goal is to bring out the best in him (and me), and to develop the talent I think he has."

"I want to say it again THANK YOU !! It is amazing the progression that Bloux has made in the short time that you have had him. Yesterdays Derby Second could not have been done without you. It is a credit to you as a trainer to get a young dog and a newbie handler to this level."

"Congratulations for winning the Qualifying with The One and Only!!!!! Awesome! All the efforts on your part as well as Solo's have been recognized and a well deserved blue ribbon awarded! Your talents in training, along with the professionalism shown to owners and judges have earned you a long list of accomplishments. I can't tell you how much your constant contact with myself updating Solo's progress means. I'm across the country, yet I feel as though I'm there watching his every move. This goes a long way with me and is priceless! I've worked with a number of other pros, and this type of means of communication is rare. Your clients from California as well as other states are lucky to have you working training their dogs. I'd have all my dogs with Red Rover if you were closer."

"Thank you so much for the wonderful job you are doing with Henry. My next big goal was a All-Age Qualified dog after making the Derby list.
I just can not believe both happened within an 8 day time frame. Henry would not be where he is without all the hard work you and Carol have put into him."
- Crystal Cockroft

"Thank you's for pre-national training would not be complete without thanking Luann Pleasant, who took us into her regular training group when we found ourselves stranded on the west coast a week early because of a family funeral. She certainly helped me get my mind back on the dogs.
