Dog Training Vacations

Perfect program for the beginner as well as
the more experienced pointing dog owner/trainer.

“My one-on-one sessions are designed to teach you more than teach your dog. Of course, your dog can’t help but learn a lot during the process. From first introduction to birds to steady-to-wing-and-shot we can show you what you need to know to advance your dog."  Bob Seelye
