Title: local gun dog training?
Post by: sweetlou on February 25, 2013, 07:58:00 PM: I have a golden who is 8 months old and needs to be trained for waterfowl. Does anyone know or is a dog trainer? I've looked online and found a few that I might go with but thought I'd ask.
Thanks

Canine County club has a good Lab trainer (John Cockren, I think). It is located in carnation, Wa.

Conway Kennels is your best North End choice for training.

They have leased land in Tahuhya/Dewatto area and will work with you to train your dog yourself. I do not know what extent you want him trained to but they have several folks in the club that have trained dogs through many trial types. I know I was out there a couple years ago for the retriever trials and there were dogs of all variety and skill level. I know they offer a field day once a month where several members get together and train. PM me if you would like more info.

Hey Happy, who would you suggest, Jim Cochran or Conway?
