About Stohner Kennels

Boarding and gun dog training near Terrell

Stohner Kennels is a family-owned boarding and training facility on an 11-acre property serving Terrell, Rockwall, Forney and Dallas. Founder and lead trainer Scott Stohner lives on the property and trains every dog himself. His background includes professional gun dog training and handling, and he is a graduate of the NePoPo Silver School. The kennel was purpose-built for boarding and training, with climate-controlled boarding and small program sizes.

Training programs

Programs include board and train, gun dog training focused on steadiness, retrieving, bird work and field performance, versatile hunting dog training for NAVHDA and HRC dogs, basic obedience, house dog training, private training, and puppy training with socialization, confidence building, crate training and early obedience. Service dogs with advanced skills are also trained, and a Bird Camp runs in 2026. Before a dog goes home, Scott walks the owner through what it has learned. Behavioral-needs boarding is offered as well.
