The work
Fair. Consistent. Proven.
Every dog is a member of someone’s family. We train with that in mind — skilled, obedient hunting companions, without cutting corners, and with the kind of practical field work hunters actually use.
Programs
Choose the path for your dog
Retriever, pointing, obedience, and shed work — same kennel, same standard. Boarding is included while your dog is in a training program.
Retriever training
Marks, blinds, and handling on land and water — a dog you can hunt behind.
Program details
Pointing dog training
Whoa, pointing, and birds in real cover — basic or foundation, depending on the dog.
Program details
Obedience training
A board-and-train for family dogs and hunting dogs that need to be easier to live with.
Program details
Shed / antler training
The same hunt drive, pointed at finding sheds instead of birds.

Proof from the field — not a highlight reel. Watch the hunt-expo film first, then a young dog on her first real hunt.

Why this kennel
Built around the dog you send, and the way you hunt
- Clear communication Drop-off through pickup, you know where the dog stands and what to do when it comes home.
- Field work, not arena drills Birds, cover, and the commands you will actually use on a hunt.
- Boarding included during training Your dog lives in the same kennel that’s doing the work — routine and progress stay together.
From owners
What they said when the dog came home
We were nervous about leaving the newest member of our family with someone else for three months. It was as if we had never been gone. Alex is first class in the field, in the blind, and at heel in the park with no leash.
When I dropped Kodi off he had a desire to retrieve but no real interest in birds. After three months I was amazed. That same day he took fourth in a contest out of about 25 dogs.
When I got Boulder back he was a whole new dog. Tyce stands by his work and made sure I knew the commands — it made for a very smooth handoff.

Enroll
How a spot is held
Three steps. Health, food, and drop-off details stay on the Get Started page so nothing important gets skipped.
-
Submit the registration form
That’s the form we use when someone is ready to get on the list.
-
Confirm requirements and availability
We review the registration, including health requirements, and confirm there is a place.
-
Pay the deposit and set a start date
A $100 deposit holds the spot and applies to the first month. Then we coordinate drop-off.
Out of state
Dogs come from across the West
Training is in Payson — not a second kennel somewhere else. Hunters still send dogs from throughout Utah, and from California, Nevada, Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, and beyond. Drop-off is here. A full stay makes the drive worth it.
Boarding
A kennel that already knows your dog
Boarding is for dogs we have trained. That is intentional. Your dog already understands the kennel, the routine, and the people — and we already know how to take care of it.
Each dog has its own commercial-grade run. Regular boarding is $25 a day; a daily farm walk is $45. Space is limited.
