Big man on campus this morning 😎
3 year old YLF
Bella is available as a started shed dog. She has already obtained a UKC Working Shed Dog title and could pass a Champion course easily. She has also been started as a gun dog and was dove hunted over last fall. She is a “meat dog” meaning she doesn’t come from a titled pedigree but she does come from dogs that hunt. She would make someone a great hunting companion! Pm me for more details!
Happy Independence Day from us here at RCAD!
Suckered Evan into comin out at sunrise to work some dogs!! Gotta get that early morning work in this time of year!
A common problem I run into is having dogs want to hold the antler by the pedicle or the tip of the tine which results in them dropping the antler during the retrieve. Here’s a little tip for ya!
Friendly reminder coming into summer ☀️
1. Be cautious of the hot weather, heat strokes can happen! Be aware of signs of heat stroke (lethargy, vomiting, red gums, drooling, seizures, weakness,)
2. Train near water if possible to ensure your dog can cool down when needed. If you’re not able to get your dog in water then bring some water with you!
3. Keep sessions short and utilize the shade
4. Train in the coolest parts of the day. (Morning and evening)
Make sure to keep us in mind this summer for any of your boarding needs!! Rates $30/per dog/per day!
Out here slingin bone! Hope everyone has a great Monday!!
A good nose is hard to beat! Love watchin them brake on antlers and do the ol snakey snake 🐍
Huge strides with Raven! 2 months ago she wouldn’t leave my side, very clingy and not confident enough to range out. I’ve spent many many training sessions of just sprinkling dog food in the yard, fields, woods ect just trying to get her comfortable with being away from me. Every dog is different, it’s not always sunshine and rainbows when it comes to training. You take the little victories and try to build off them. We still have a ways to go but I’m super proud of her growth!
I’ve been on a roller coaster ride with Mila over the past couple years trying to figure her out.
She’s always been a great competitor and consistent in her runs, but I could tell that the past couple of years her heart hasn’t been fully in it every day.
I got to the point I just didn’t wanna run her competitively, it was frustrating as a trainer and disheartening as her owner watching her not enjoy herself in a way I know she can.
I was unsure if it was hormonal issues from breeding and heat cycles, or maybe the brand of dog food, potentially bein burnt out, etc 🤷🏼♂️
I switched her over to Inukshuk Professional Dog Food back in January and have been working her minimally on antlers besides actual wild shed hunting. The past couple months since her last cycle has passed and hormones have dissipated I’ve noticed she’s hittin on all cylinders and showing me that her heart is back in it. I’m going to schedule her to get spayed this summer and hopefully that will clear up any of the hormonal issues if any of that has been part of her behavior.
For now, I’m enjoying seeing my Mila girl back in action and rippin it! Turn n burn baby!!!
If anyone’s ever watched hawk run, you will understand..
55lbs of pure get gone! 🤣
Happy Friday!! We picked up 7 more today putting us up to 53! Good luck to everyone shed hunting this weekend! Remember, miles make piles!!
#46! Will post the match set together later!
TGIF! I’ve been busier than a one legged man in an a** kickin contest lately. Between shed hunting and teaching these dogs how to behave it’s been crazy but I wouldn’t have it any other way! Have a good weekend guys!
Featured in this video is River, he’s gone from 100+lbs of brute force to being a puppet on a string! Sure love seein his progress!
This is why we do it!! This made my day!!
Previous client dog Koda pickin up an absolute HAMMER and then later matching it up all on her own!! Holy smokes! Good job guys!
I’ll be documenting this shed season! Follow along our journey!

We are on the board!
Grizzly was about 4-6 months old last shed season so this season is gonna be a big step for her!! Excited to see how she progresses through out the season!! LETS GO!
Titling at a shed dog event tends to make a splash! 💦
Congratulations to all that titled at our first event over the weekend, the 1st Annual Turn N Burn!
Large post to come, but we cannot thank you all enough for making the event the huge success that it was!

Scout and Eve are here for a little tune up before shed season. One thing we have been working on is teaching Eve to honor Scout whenever Scout finds an antler. In a typical situation Eve would run up and take it out of Scouts mouth. I think we are makin some headway with it!
