Holzinger Kennels

Holzinger Kennels - Training To become both a good family dog and an effective hunting companion, your dog needs to develop his well bred natural instincts. The greatest thing you can do for your dog is to train him to his full potential. Since 1982, Holzinger Kennels has developed an extensive training program that can be fully customized to your hunting and obedience needs. We train all breeds on game bird retrieval, including Pointers, Flushers, Labs and Retrievers. We train year round, using both indoor training room facilities and vigorous outdoor field work. Dogs enrolled in our training program are housed in modern indoor heated kennels.

Please note, Holzinger Kennels standard practice is to get proof of required vaccinations for your dog before any on site training can start. At our facility, we require the following vaccinations:

Current Rabies
Yearly Distemper
Parvo Booster (20 weeks of age or later and within 6 months or less)
Yearly Bordetella
Yearly Heartworm check (if we are to medicate)

With today's controversial use of vaccine titers to measure immunity in pets, we feel that an improperly vaccinated dog puts our facility at a high risk. To help the training process run smoothly, please make sure your dog is up to date with his vaccinations well in advance of scheduling his training session. Feel free to contact us with any questions.

Our training program is divided into four main sections, Kindergarten, Grade School, Junior High, and High School. Customized training that goes beyond the High School level is available as well. If your dog is younger than six months, check out our puppy tips page to get a head start on his training until he's old enough to start the Kindergarten portion of our training program.
