Bird Dog Training

More than 30 years of raising, training, trialing and judging bird dogs gives Ed a wealth of experience from which your dog can benefit.

Field trial dogs are accepted year round for training & handling on the trial circuit, with the bulk of training done in the off-season. Ed hunts quail in the Southwest during December and January, and conducts summer camp in Montana from mid-July through mid-September. Here wild pheasants, sharptail grouse and Hungarian partridge give the dogs countless opportunities to perfect their skills and training, and for dogs heading to the field trial circuit, thousands of acres are available for training from horseback. Amateur handlers' dogs are also accepted for tuneup & conditioning for the trial season.
