This adorable little cocker is part of the pack; sired from our own, Bam. She has some travel plans in her future. She's off to another trainer to get started as a gundog and will be available when she is a bit older. 🥰

For now, we are getting comfortable in a vehicle when it's not moving or on. We try to make traveling a pleasant experience. And we trust our to keep our pups safe and comfortable as we head on down the road.

Reach out if you are thinking about a started dog in the near future.

Just a friendly dog training reminder: your body language and energy speak more than your words.

What are your favorite techniques to keep a dog engaged and happy to work?

Quinn 🖤 and Harley 🤎

Only a few puppies available ( 1 male and 2 females). I own the sire and have personally hunted and know the dam. These should make excellent hunting/performance dogs as well as house dogs. Both parents are guide dogs for quail hunts at Otter Creek Farmstead. Embark tests on parents available. Sire pedigree in photos. Sire OFA hips: good, elbows: normal.

Heading into the holiday weekend like...

Can't wait to travel for this adventure!

Welcome to the pack! Everyone meet Harley and Quinn!

This one is pretty simple...

Find the Bob.

I always get asked, "Do you prefer male or female dogs?". I think it's a personal preference on which is better, and I've known and worked some amazing dogs of both genders in different upland breeds.

Honestly, I love working with my male dogs over the females. The boys just seem so eager to please.

Which do you prefer?

Anyone else going crazy waiting their turn to hunt?

Guess that butt.

Can you find the bobwhite? You won't find it in the first photo.

Pebbles says, "Don't forget to play with your dog!" 💚

Stuctured play is important in a relationship with your dog. It can build trust and engagement.

What's your favorite game to play with your pup?

Tucker is back in the game after many weeks of rest from cutting his artery in his wrist.

One of the most vital pieces of equipment for us is our tie out system!

We love our system! Secured down with our 30-in stake outs from it's as customizable as I need it to be, no matter where we are in the country.

A tie out system can be so important and so versatile in its use, but the purpose is always the same - to keep my dog(s) safe and secure in one spot. Most of the time, I want the dogs to see what is going on. This use would be more of a classroom setting. Other times, I want the dogs to relax and not do anything. They can absorb the world and distractions around them while not getting into trouble.

Gun intro, bird intro, seminars, urban spaces, camping trips, hunting trips, broke down on the side of the road, 14 dogs enjoying marrow bones without getting into each other's space, watching other dogs work, learning a point of contact.... the possibilities are endless.

Good boy Mitch.

🙄🥱😴 They work so hard.

Just took one photo today 📸

What a bloody mess. Nothing alittle vetbond can't fix.

Gundog in the making.

Another handsome Wildrose pup, WR Deke. He is turning into a stud!

WR Cole is turning into a very handsome gentleman's gundog. His training continues in preparation for his new home. Just a few more weeks with this pup before we part ways. He was the perfect first dog as I learned the details of training with the Wildrose method. Cole was easy to train, willing and eager to learn, and had the perfect demeanor that everyone dreams of having in their british Labrador.

We are winding down to two weeks before we head south for the winter.

I'm wishing everyone a good long weekend.

We bought a pallet of Inukshuk (30/25) back in May. We are leaving Sheboygan, Wisconsin at the end of September and need to get rid of a few bags before we travel. We just don't want to haul the extra weight. It's been stored in the garage (dry and out of direct sunlight). Message me if interested!
