How to train a bird hunting dog

TRAINING BIRD DOGS SINCE 1956…

We have a driving passion for training bird dogs and helping bird dog owners improve their relationships with their dogs. With decades of experience developing and training bird dogs, as well as handling dogs on upland hunts, we are enthusiastic to share with people what bird dogs have taught us.

The Smith Method of Bird Dog Training has evolved and grown over the past 70 years. Through the years the system has also been referred to as the Smith System, Silent Command System, or Huntsmith. Throughout the generations and decades, our family has remained authentically dedicated to helping bird dogs and their owners in multiple ways.

Our focus is working with pointing dogs. Our seminars are designed to help owners gain vital insight to their bird dog’s minds and to teach owners how to better handle and train their own dogs. We hold bird dog training classes at our facility in Oklahoma where we personally board and train pointing dogs for people from across the country. We also currently raise a few litters of Brittanys and English pointers each year, imprinting those pups at a young age to start them on the path to success as bird dogs.

We understand the love and dedication that bird dog owners have for their dogs. Our mission is to provide owners a variety of ways to learn more about their dog and to implement training that provides opportunities for a lifetime of hunting success and rich experiences.
