About Princes Quality Gun Dogs

What they offer

Princes Quality Gun Dogs is a German Shorthaired Pointer kennel at 428 South 190th Street in Pittsburg that also trains gun dogs. The home page says "We train in upland and waterfowl hunting" and that it trains many bird dog breeds, while its breeding program focuses on German Shorthaired Pointers. The training page describes taking a pup from the basics to a finished hunting dog that handles in the field, holds on whoa, knows the here command and loads up.

How they train

Training starts with an assessment of what the dog already knows and of its temperament. The training page says: "My methods consist of POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT, in other words, I make training fun for pup." It also says the trainer prefers not to force break, and that dogs that like to carry birds are taught to retrieve to hand.

Who trains
