Home Males Females Litters Training

All of our dogs are trained using the Hunt-Smith method as taught by Rick and Ronnie Smith. The silent command system gives you the opportunity to get the best performance from your dog. This system provides a training foundation so your dog receives a clear message of what is expected.
