We had a fantastic time with our two griffon pups! We came away with birds on our first outing! The owners were informative and welcoming. You can bet we will be going again soon! Thanks again.

I am extremely grateful and happy with the training, both my chocolate lab and English Setter received. When I went to pick my dogs up and hunted over them, I couldn’t believe how great both of them did. The trainer Chris was always responsive and gave updates periodically through the one-month training program. I highly recommend this outfit and their services that they provide. It’s like I have two completely different dogs. They left puppies and came back well mannered and ready for the hunt. I can’t wait to get these dogos on some wild bird hunts.

I took my most recent Griff, there. First time I haven't trained my griffs myself. She got perfect in the NAVHDA NAs. She has been the best of the 4 griffs I have had field hunting. Doug and Alice are nice and very responsible. We often board our dog there if we are gone a long time. The only negative is Doug does not force fetch train, that is a problem with griffs, who tend to like to keep the bird and chomp; being nice doesn't work with them, but they also tend to be soft, so being hard can be a problem, also they are very smart (manipulative). SO I had to go to a SD trainer do that. I hunt Cook Canyon often.
