Backwoods Retriever Training

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.
(306)

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.

But after I got him figured out, he started rolling with his training! Now Chief is ready to get after some birds! He’s come a super long way from the start and we are excited to see him stake up some birds! We can’t wait to get him back this fall to start his advanced training!!
