About Us

For over 30 years, Tails-Up Gun Dogs LLC has proudly served Southern Wisconsin, helping dogs reach their full potential—whether as house-first companions, competition dogs, or skilled hunting dogs. Our passion for training is rooted in experience, knowledge, and a deep respect for every dog’s natural abilities.

Our Philosophy

We believe in the power of early, positive training. Our motto, “birds make bird dogs,” reflects our approach: introducing dogs to birds at a young age develops prey drive, focus, and confidence, which are essential for successful gun dogs. We call it “putting gas in the tank”—giving your dog the foundation for lifelong learning and performance.
