About Carter’s Kennels

What they do

Carter's Kennels is a boarding and training facility on Durham Lane, just southeast of Whigham in Grady County. The training divides into two lanes: gun dog work and obedience. The gun dog side covers waterfowl, dove field and quail work, and the site describes retriever training and pointing dogs as well; the obedience side is aimed at producing, in its own words, "excellent companions" — "Whether you desire a well behaved pet, going on a water fowling adventure, a fall afternoon in the dove field, pointing quail in the long leaf timber or bringing them to the wagon, we can help to make it happen." There is also an obedience tips section written for owners.

The grounds

Forty-eight acres, completely fenced, with twenty kennels for housing dogs. The land is laid out for the work: varied cover for upland and pointing dogs, open fields for retrievers and marks, two ponds for waterfowl training, and a separate exercise area.

The trainer

Jody Carter is named on the about page as the owner and operator. He writes that he was born and raised in Live Oak, Florida, has over fifteen years of experience training dogs and has hunted with them his whole life. His own line for it: "I feel every day spent training a dog is a good day." Contact the kennel directly for prices.
