About Covey Kennels

What they offer

Covey Kennels offers a Retriever Program that develops dependable hunting retrievers – steadiness, heel, recall, whistle commands, trained retrieve, handling, and land and water retrieves – progressing from foundational obedience to singles, doubles, casting and advanced drills, for hunting, hunt tests and home life. Obedience training runs in three levels through day training or board-and-train, teaching practical skills such as heel, place and recall. Boarding and grooming are also offered.
