Private Training Sessions
Private Training Sessions are designed for owners who want to play an active role in developing their own gundog under the guidance of an experienced trainer. Whether your goal is to build a dependable hunting companion, prepare for hunt tests, or establish better manners and obedience at home, each lesson is tailored to your individual objectives and your dog's unique stage of development. Through personalized, hands-on instruction, you'll gain the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills needed to communicate effectively with your dog, overcome training challenges, and continue making meaningful progress long after each session. Our goal is not simply to train your dog—but to equip you with the tools to become a capable, confident handler for years to come. This collaborative approach ensures that both you and your dog develop as a true working team, capable of performing reliably in real-world hunting situations.
Board & Train Programs
Our Board & Train Programs are thoughtfully designed to develop dogs at every stage of their journey—from laying the foundation for a young puppy to refining the finished hunting companion. At Shadow Hill Gundogs, we believe exceptional training is never rushed. Every dog receives individualized instruction tailored to its age, temperament, and level of development, allowing confidence, reliability, and natural ability to grow through proven methods and consistent repetition. Whether your goal is a well-mannered family companion, a capable hunting partner, or a polished finished gundog, our programs are built to produce dogs that perform with purpose in the field and live with confidence at home. Because we intentionally limit the number of dogs in training at any given time, every client dog receives the personal attention and uncompromising standard of care that define the Shadow Hill Gundogs experience.
Guided Hunts
At Shadow Hill Gundogs, training doesn't end when your dog graduates—it comes full circle in the field. Our Guided Hunts are the signature Shadow Hill experience, offering clients the unique opportunity to return and hunt over their own professionally trained dog on the beautiful grounds of Howell Farms. More than a day of wingshooting, these hunts are a celebration of the time, dedication, and investment you've made in your dog's development. As you watch your dog confidently quarter, find birds, flush, retrieve, and work as a true hunting partner, you'll experience the reward of seeing that training come to life exactly as it was intended. Along the way, you'll continue to refine your handling skills, build confidence as a team, and create lasting memories rooted in the traditions of the uplands—an experience that sets Shadow Hill Gundogs apart as more than a training program, but a destination for the sporting dog lifestyle.
