I started training dogs for the public back in 2000. The plan was to train the basics to young dogs, and then send them on to another trainer to be finished. I was still learning myself, although I have had dogs all my life, so I was not comfortable taking money from people to try and advance their dog. Long story short, my clients were so happy with the results I was getting that they all decided to leave their dogs with me. My basic training turned into advanced training, and later on to running hunt test. Even though gun dog training is mostly what I do, I do have several hunt test dogs that I run in the spring and fall. My dogs teach me something every day. And now my passion is also my job. Life doesn't get any better.
