Gun Dog Training
Kerlin Kanine Training offers a complete training program customized for your hunting needs.  Whether you own a Retriever, Pointer, or Flushing breed we can provide a series of training steps and exercises enabling you, the owner, to build a solid foundation of gun dog training.

​If your dog is already on the way to becoming a seasoned bird dog we will aid you in enhancing their skills; if your dog is just beginning we will give you the needed steps to start their training.
​To the serious waterfowl/upland game hunter, a trained gun dog is both a necessity and a joy. For most hunters, the bond and companionship of a well-trained bird dog are more important than the hunt itself.  However, the opposite can be said of the ill-trained gun dog.  Nothing will ruin a hunting experience quicker than a dog that does not obey.
All-Breed Obedience
​Are you tired of man’s best friend ruling your house?  Kerlin Kanine Training can help.  Private lessons and group obedience training are available from Beginning Puppy training to Advanced Obedience. Learn how to use Positive reinforcement to properly lead and transform your dog into a reliable canine companion.
Behavior Consultation
Canine behavior consultation and problem-solving are available on a private lesson basis. Learn how to properly deal with such problems as housebreaking, jumping up, nuisance barking, chewing, shyness, fear, and aggression.
Hunt Test Training and Handling
For the hunt test enthusiast, training and handling are available.  We are experienced in AKC., NAHRA, UKC/HRC, and NAVHDA/NADKC hunt tests and programs.  We offer a training program tailor-made for your needs and your dog’s talents and temperament.  We train you to train your dog.

​All training is conducted using progressive humane methods, proven techniques, and state-of-the-art equipment.  Whether you hunt waterfowl or upland game birds or need a faithful, obedient companion we can handle your training needs.  Private one-on-one lessons are available.  The majority of training is held at several locations for a combined 800+ acres of private woodlands, fields, and marsh.

To ensure the best quality of training possible Kerlin Kanine Training only accepts a limited number of dogs at any given time for “In-Kennel Training”. We are committed to helping your dog reach its fullest potential.
