Picture
We host training days from the spring melt until the hunting seasons begin generally two to three times a month split between Etna Creek and Basset.  We provide some training gear that many cannot afford on their own and generally someone offers to bring training birds for sale.  While these training days are not an end-all to your dog training needs, they do provide strategic alignment with where you and your dog want to be for testing and the upcoming hunt.  The expertise offered by fellow members cannot be beat!

We also try to facilitate a professional handler to be on-site at least once annually and plan several group events outside of the normal training grounds.  These special events provide a great way to work your dog in an alternate location as well as get-to-know the group in a fun family environment.

** See individual training permit requirements in Minnesota here ** While we attempt to process the required paperwork for our members who pay their local dues very early in the year, we don't always catch all of you after  the end of February.  You must make sure you have one of these before training your dogs on any legal public lands!
