We offer a full-service kennel, from field training and behavioral modification training to long-term boarding. We also offer hunt-test training and handling for all breeds. We train the owner at the same time we train the dog. Problems other trainers have created can also be corrected.

In addition to training, Blue Grass Kennels competes in pointing dog field trials, horseback, and foot trials. We offer extensive services that are taylored to you and your pet, we work with you to achieve the goals of modifying negative behavior. Follow up visits are needed in some cases according to the initial evaluation that is individually designed for you. I take the time necessary to help you and your pet, so I am with you through the process! I meet the animal, evaluate the behavior, check to see if it is learned behavior, genetics, etc., which determines which type of training can be effective. If you are ready to commit to the training and bettering your relationship with your animal then you have found the right place! You will not be disappointed, the quality of service we offer is top notch!
