TRAINING WITH GRAYQUILL KENNEL

GK offers all levels of gundog training to all retriever breeds. Each dog entering training is evaluated to determine the appropriate training method needed to reach the dog’s full potential. E-collar and non e-collar methods are offered. GK wants every dog to excel at its job and exceed the client’s expectations. See below for a brief summary of each training program.

GK participates in AKC and UKC hunt tests throughout the year. Gundog training is GK’s priority, but if the dog shows potential in excelling at test work, it may be an option for the dog to join the test crew. This will be up to GK’s discretion.
