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.
(292)

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.

Diesel’s last day of duck dog training! This hard head guy came to me with an “his way attitude”. But once he saw the light of what we were working towards, he really came around and turn the jet on! Now Diesel is all about the full send but under control! We can’t wait to see what he can do this season and the piles of green heads he’s going to make!

Scout’s last day of duck dog training! Scout came to me with some previous training but she had several bad habits I had to get cleaned up to take her to the next level. After getting her bad habit lined out, Scout didn’t not disappoint! Scout has become a controlled workhorse that would absolutely go through a flaming brick wall to get you that bird! We are proud of how far Scout came in her training ing and can’t wait to see her stack up piles of birds!!
