OnPoint Kennel Dog Training

Custom Gun Dog Training for Every Level
Whether you’re a beginner, an experienced hunter, or a serious field trial competitor, OnPoint Kennel creates a training program tailored to you. From day one, we establish clear goals and guide you every step of the way – monitoring progress, making adjustments, and ensuring your dog reaches its full potential.

Extended Stay Training
For those seeking intensive training, we offer extended stay programs in addition to our popular classes. Rather than boarding your dog at a kennel or vet’s office, leave them at OnPoint for daily, hands-on training. Your dog receives focused instruction in a safe, structured environment, maximizing learning and retention.

Problem-Solving Expertise
We address specific behavioral and performance challenges that impact hunting and your dog’s overall quality of life. From gun shyness and motion sickness to urination issues, unusual sensitivities, or fear of water, Dave has effectively solved these problems for countless dogs.
