Welcome

I train silent and I sell silent. I do not use the word whoa at any time. The same behavior as whoa is taught as stand, without speaking.

Occasionally, I have a trained dog for sale. They will be advertised on Gun Dog Central.

I do not sell started dogs. I dislike the term. Started is a vague description.

I sell trained dogs.

I consider a dog trained when it consistently performs the following.

Points staunchly, steady to wing, shot and fall and stands until released by touch to retrieve, and honor another dogs point.

The retrieve should be a nice delivery of the bird to hand.

I prefer to encourage a natural retrieve from a young age. However, force breaking to retrieve is done if required.

The tools I use are simple. Carded feral pigeons that I trap, and sweat equity working dogs on a check cord.

An old, but good video of Bill West explains the training concept I use.

I will always be grateful to Bill Gibbons and Bill West.

Thank you for looking.
