Hunting Dog Training

Autumn Breeze Kennels specializes in upland bird dog training programs for pointing and flushing breeds of hunting dogs. These programs are custom designed to fit your hunting dog’s abilities, previous training received and specific needs on an individual basis.

All training must have a deposit paid prior to scheduling. A signed contract and balance due will be collected when the dog is dropped off. You can download and print the agreement here.
