Frequently Asked Questions

  • When should I start training my puppy?

    Training should begin right away. Early introduction to birds helps develop prey drive and confidence, which are essential for gun dogs. The earlier the exposure, the stronger the foundation—what we call “putting gas in the tank.”

  • Do you offer training for both gun dogs and competition dogs?

    Yes. We customize training programs for gun dogs, competition dogs, and house-first hunting dogs. Each program is tailored to your dog’s abilities and your specific goals.

  • Can owners be involved in the training process?

    Absolutely. We encourage owner involvement, especially during private training sessions. Hands-on participation helps strengthen the bond with your dog and teaches you how to properly handle and continue training at home.

  • Where do you offer upland hunting guides?

    We offer upland guiding services exclusively at Milford Hills Hunt Club, providing a high-quality hunting experience in Southern Wisconsin.
