I was fortunate to attend a training seminar at Pheasant Fest.where Ronnie and Susanna spoke and put on a demonstration. I was impressed by what I saw and talking to various individuals the reputation of the Smiths. I have just acquired a new puppy and will be training to their methods.

Book - Training Bird Dogs w/ Ronnie Smith Kennels
August 10, 2022
Long time upland hunter first time gun dog owner/trainer - I've read many books and watched even more videos. Training Bird Dogs is an easy read with great depth to why a training practice is done and how to accomplish your goal. This is a great book for the novice gun dog trainer and I'm sure experienced trainers also refer back to it.
