Big Sky Kennels uses positive training methods to form high performing dogs.
The dogs are motivated out of the desire to please while experiencing their own inherent hunting instincts.
We DO NOT use electric collars as a training tool, instead by using creative layouts or "sets" as an influencer, the pup will obey the trainer using the constrictions of the training course and the positive stimulation that follows.
Repetition of the desired action will lead to predicable performance.
One step leads to another until there is a happy well-trained family/hunting dog.

Imagine a dog with strong hunting drive hot on the trail of a running rooster.
All of a sudden he stops, just as he was instructed to do when signaled to wait for the handler to catch up.
Then, once signaled to proceed by the handler, he quickly picks up the trail again.
The flushed bird is downed within gun range and instantly, the trained dog retrieves the bird directly returning it to handler.
Another dog runs out into the field, sent out on a 100-yard blind retrieval mission.
As they drift off course due to a strong cross wind, they are signaled to stop by the handler and signaled to turn into the approximate direction of the fall, where they find the hidden bird using their natural hunting senses.
