TESTIMONIALS

“We have sent our sweet Charlie girl to Andy the last two years in a row for obedience and waterfowl training based off of a few recommendations around the dog handling community.  She is currently approaching two years old and is a well finished gun dog that is steady and takes all casting commands with confidence.  She far exceeded our expectations in her first year of hunting while being steady and soft on bird handling.  It took her a bit to become confident handling geese, but she just needed some repetitions with a larger goose dummy.  We hae been so pleased wiht Andy and his help developing our young gun dog.  Definitely planning on sending her back after the season to help fix all her owners bad habits...ha!  Thanks Andy!!”
