At Great Plains Kennel, every dog’s journey is unique. I design training programs to match each dog’s natural drive, learning style, and personality — because a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work in the field or at home. Whether you’re starting with a pup or fine-tuning a seasoned retriever, I’ll help bring out their full potential.
