One on One Seminars

Hands-On Training for You and Your Dog

Hands-On Training for You and Your Dog
The One-on-One Training Seminars at Lumpy’s Kennels are designed for owners who want to be actively involved in their dog’s training rather than leaving their dog for a traditional board-and-train program These sessions allow you to work side-by-side with a professional trainer while learning the skills needed to continue your dog’s development at home.

Typically conducted on a weekly basis, owners bring their dog to the kennel where training begins with a structured yard session focused on the appropriate obedience work for that dog. After the foundation work is completed, training moves into the field, where dogs are given opportunities to work with birds and develop their natural hunting abilities.

Built for Dedicated Handlers

This program works best for motivated owners who are willing to continue training at home between sessions. Having access to a training field and birds helps reinforce the skills learned during the seminars. Ideal For

Owners who want to be directly involved in training their dog
Dogs that have already completed a training program and need continued work
Preparing for hunt tests, field trials, or competitions
Running braces and refining advanced field work
Maintaining training between hunting seasons

The Goal The goal of these seminars is to help the handler and dog develop into a confident, effective team. By working together consistently, both dog and owner gain the experience needed to succeed in the field, during hunting season, or in upcoming competitions. At Lumpy’s Kennels, these one-on-one sessions provide the guidance and environment needed to keep dogs progressing and performing at their best.

I took my 4 month old black lab to Jeff for puppy gun dog training. Jeff was very knowledgeable and helpful with any questions I had. This is my first hunting dog and he took the time to listen to any questions or concerns I had. I can tell he loves working with the dogs. At the end of 2 weeks he instilled the basics and had my dog highly motivated to perform in the field. Thanks so much Jeff!

I had my German Shorthair Pointer trained by Lumpy. Jeff took time to understand me, my family and my hunting and I couldn’t be more impressed or grateful with how Belle works in the field and behaves at home. Whether it’s retrieving ducks in September on the Wolf River, grouse up north in October, or upland game at the club in November, Lumpy helped me by reinforcing Belles instincts and created a huntress who is a true joy to hunt over or enjoy in my home. I neither knew what to do to train this dog or what to expect once I tried. Jeff trained me and the pup. I just received a German Shorthair Pointer puppy from Lumpy’s and can’t wait to work with his training program again. First, I’ll send her to puppy school, then I’ll send her back so Jeff can finish her. Best hunting and family related money I ever spent

I also want to say thank you for taking the time to “train me” as I was probably the most inexperienced first-time dog owner you have ever dealt with. I had my doubts about spending the money to have a dog professionally trained, but I can honestly say it was worth every penny. I will be in touch to bring her back for a pre-hunting season refresher session…thanks again Just wanted to send you a quick note to say thank you for the training you did with our black lab (Bella). We have had her back for a little over a month now and what you did in the 7 weeks you had her is nothing short of amazing! She came back an awesome family pet who listens, won’t jump on the neighbors, and can be walked around the neighborhood off-leash. You also brought out her hunting instinct and her swimming skills – I can hardly wait until Fall to get her on some Pheasants.

I have owned German shorthaired pointers my entire life and have had some fabulous dogs along the way. Each one has their own unique personality, behavior patterns and skill sets. This is important to note, because I have a comprehensive background in owning GSP’s and in addition have hunted over a lot of other dogs, this experience affords me a unique perspective and a barometer to evaluate them. As you may know puppies can be a challenge on a number of fronts. Mika was without question the easiest dog I have ever had to house break and he was a non-destructive puppy with regard to furniture, remotes, shoes, and clothing items. I raised him with two other GSP’s and he socialized very well with them. I run him in the park every day where he has encountered dozens of dogs, off leash, over the last two years and he has never had a physical confrontation with any them. I frequently take him to my office where he socializes with people. He is gentle, well mannered, obedient, and very tolerant of children.
