"With a desire to be constantly learning, evolving and thinking outside the box,  I like to think that our style and methods of teaching and training are unique.  But they are a culmination of countless hours in the field with many different types of people, bird dogs and retrievers.  We have had the opportunity to be exposed to the many great trainers before us.  George Hickox, Bill Gibbons, John Greer, Larry Calvert, Mike Lardy and Butch Higgins just to name a few.  Training methods are passed down from generation to generation but all the best trainers have something of their own that can not be explained.  It is that which makes our program unique.   We look forward to training with you and your new hunting buddy".
