Positive Gun Dog & Hunting Dog Training
Reward-based Gun Dog & Hunting Dog Training – Train a Skilled & Reliable Hunting Partner. At Positive Gun Dogs MN, we specialize in force-free training for gun dogs and hunting dogs, using positive reinforcement techniques to develop reliable, skilled field dogs. Whether you're training a retriever, pointer, spaniel, or flushing dog, our methods help build confidence, drive, and precision—without using e-collars or force-fetch training.
Our programs are designed for both experienced hunters and those new to working with gun dogs, focusing on foundation work, fieldwork, retrieving, scent detection, and teamwork. But you don’t have to be a hunter to take advantage of this training! If you own a sporting breed and want to see what your dog was bred to do, our training provides an outlet for natural instincts, preventing behavioral issues that arise from under-stimulation.
🐾 How to Get Started – Private Training Packages
Our private training sessions are offered exclusively as Getting Started Packages—designed to set you and your dog up for success. To begin training, you must enroll in a package, as we do not offer single-session options for new clients.
✔ Limited Availability – We take a select number of private clients at a time to ensure personalized attention.
✔ Comprehensive Approach – Each package provides structured lessons to build foundational skills in foundations, fieldwork, retrieving, and steadiness.
✔ Tailored to You & Your Dog – Whether you're preparing for your first hunting season or refining skills, we customize training to meet your needs.

🐕 What We Offer🔹 Private Gun Dog Training (Custom one-on-one coaching!)
🦆 Training for Different Hunting Styles & Breeds
✔ Retrievers (Labs, Goldens, Chessies, etc.) – Waterfowl retrieving, blind retrieves, and handling drills
