Boarding Kennel
Winter Kennels has over 45 years of experience in numerous areas of training for hunting breeds. If you’re looking for an establishment that specializes in bird dog training in Austin, TX as one of its areas of expertise, our boarding kennel is the best option for you. We also offer gun dog training, disciplinary coaching for pointers and retrievers, snake avoidance and general obedience instruction. The value of the owner/pet relationship is always at the forefront of our training methods. With each pet that comes through our boarding kennel’s doors, we want to ensure that they are fully prepared for hunting ventures.
Our former main trainer, Harlen, knew the value of training hunting dogs. He made time to personally train every dog that was brought to him. With more than 46 years of training experience, Harlen was so dedicated to his work that a majority of his canine students went on to win field trials and hunt tests. He knew the importance of owner and pet working as a team to thrive effectively. Harlen has since passed on, leaving his daughter, Cory, to take over training, but we pay homage to him by continuing to uphold his values as we train your pet. Cory adheres to Harlen’s philosophy to only take on as many dogs as she can personally train. We treat your dog as if it was our own and promise to do our best to enhance their innate skills.
