Backwoods Retriever Training

We also offer obedience training for any breed dog over 20 pounds. Hello, my name is Garrett Meier, and I’m the head trainer at Backwoods Retrievers.
(302)

Specialize in duck dog training, whether you’re look for a gun dog or an advanced hunting retriever champion, we have a program to fit for you and your pup’s needs. I’m located in Paragould Arkansas right in the middle of great duck hunting country. I’ve been training for 24 years and trained countless numbers of dogs. I’m as diehard duck hunter as they come, I hunt at least 45 days out of the 60

day duck season we have here in Arkansas, mostly in the timber. As you know if you’ve ever been hunting in the timber you need a good duck dog to get the job done right and fast every time. If that’s what you looking for in a waterdog then you come to the right place.

Wynn’s last day of duck dog training!! Wynn came to me with a bunch of great raw talent and drive but absolutely no focus whatsoever! Once I got the layer peeled back and got his training structure under his belt, he really took to it! Now he’s ready to get at some birds! Can’t wait to see what this LBD can do and the piles of birds he will stack up!!

Buster “aka the mini lab sausage dog” last day of obedience training!! Buster came to me very set in his ways and had no personal space or manners to not jump on everyone and anyone he met. But once I got him to figure out what I wanted, it was game on for him! Buster is now easily walked in and off leash and he won’t knock you down when he greets you. Buster has come a long way in his training and has become an ever better family dog they can really enjoy!

Lulu’s last day of obedience training! Lulu came to me a very shy sweet gal that need control. After a few days she ready settled into the training. Now you can walk her in and off leash with ease and can have her greet people she doesn’t know without jumping on them or shying away. Lulu has come a long way in her training and she has become a fantastic family dog her family can really enjoy!
