Learn how to train your bird dog

We have a passion for helping bird dog owners create better relationships and enjoy memorable experiences with their upland hunting dogs. We have decades of experience raising and training bird dogs, as well as handling dogs on upland hunts. We are enthusiastic to share with people what years of studying bird dogs has taught us.

The Smith Method of Training has evolved and grown over the past 70 years, and throughout that time, we have remained authentically dedicated to helping bird dogs and their owners in multiple ways. We raise a few litters of Brittanys and English pointers each year, imprinting those pups at a young age to start them on the path to success as bird dogs. Our seminars are designed to help owners gain vital insight to their bird dog’s minds and to teach owners how to better handle and train their own dogs. We also hold bird dog training classes at our facility in Oklahoma where we personally board and train dogs for people from across the country.

We understand the love and dedication that bird dog owners have for their dogs. Our mission is to provide owners a variety of ways to learn more about their dog and to implement training that provides opportunities for a lifetime of hunting success.
