Gary recently took an exciting position training IED Bomb Dogs for K2 Solutions, Southern Pines, North Carolina. He is still training client dogs in his off hours.

Gary has been training retrievers and pointers throughout his life. He became a professional four years ago while working with another pro in the area. He believes that training retrievers is an art, not a science, and that their are no two retrievers or trainers alike.

Our personal guarantee is that each dog will receive the individual attention they deserve. Our retriever training program will be the same for all our client's dogs whether they will be a hunting or AKC hunt test, HRC hunt test, or field trail dog. We strive to mold confident, bold retrievers in each of these areas.
