Thank you for visiting our website. We offer numerous things at Castle House such as proven champion level field bred Golden Retrievers, Obedience training for pet homes, Retriever training for duck dogs, and competitive hunt test programs. I started training Golden Retrievers many years ago for Therapy Dog work which is how I adopted the LIMA method of approach. It was my general interest in all things dog training that eventually led me to a Retriever Hunt Test where I was amazed by what the dogs were doing and how they worked so well with their handlers which personally challenged me to try it with my own Goldens. This proved to be quite the task since I had little background training retrievers for field work nor did the retrievers at the time have much interest in doing the work themselves. This led me to return to the drawing board so to speak and find some older experienced and proven dog trainers to shadow and learn from. To this very day I still consider one of them to be my most trusted mentor and regardless of how much I learn or develop as a trainer I will always pause to listen to his advice or opinion. During this time I have built numerous Hunting Retriever Champions, Master Hunters, and have recently found success at the Grand Hunting Retriever Champion level. I do all of the training with the dogs at our kennel and take great pride on our progress, reputation and ability. My family helps me with kennel and dog care along with one of my close training partners. A great dog isn't developed. They are built! From the ground up and every piece matters no matter how small it may seem. I would love the opportunity to discuss the next chapter in your life and see if we have puppies or a training program that fits your needs. Give me a call or text!
