SPECIALIZING IN GUN DOG TRAINING PACKAGES FOR UPLAND BIRD AND WATERFOWL HUNTERS

Waterfowl and upland retriever trainer Dwayne Durant has over 20 years of experience in training all breeds of retrievers and pointing dogs. Star Keeper Kennels is a full service retriever training facility located 6 miles west of Dubuque, Iowa. Our kennel is located on a large acreage with plenty of room to train the retriever / pointer and owner in comfort. We also have access to 2000 acres that include technical ponds and upland fields to produce the superior hunting dog.

Here at Star Keeper Kennels our goal is to bring out the superior hunting ability in all retrievers and pointers. We work full time with the retrievers and pointing dogs putting them through a training regime that starts with obedience then moving to drills and then to technical work. This creates a highly trained retriever/pointer that can go to the field and hunt or go to a hunt test and perform with excellence.

TRAINING PROGRAMS FROM BEGINNING TO MASTER LEVELS

Highpoint Labradors has been dedicated to training hunting dogs since 1997. The respect and time devoted to this line of work is what makes me the kind of trainer you want for your dog. Training dogs is not my hobby, it’s my profession. After years of training my own retrievers and experiencing the joy and satisfaction of watching my dog work and hunt is what made me decide to spend my time training dogs.

Through experience I have learned that each dog learns differently. Patience, persistence and devotion to training dogs all play a major part of helping your dog reach it’s potential. Our dogs are competitors and avid hunters but have the ability to flip the switch at the end of the day to be that companion you want them to be.
