    Thank you Bill for putting on the Seminar at Dr. Powells property. Timber recently got her HRCH title in Cheyenne. I know we would have never gotten to that point had I not taken your seminar. You took the time to explain things that a very green handler could understand and apply to our training. Not only were you very knowledgeable about dog behavior, you were very patient with me one on one. The lessons we learned from you in one day pushed us to the next level. I can't thank you enough!! Anyone who is considering having Bill show you the ropes or train a dog, stop thinking about it and do it, you won't regret it!!

    Bill has done a phenomenal job training our dog Nelli. It is evident Bill strives for perfection while not only challenging the dogs but also ensuring there is absolutely no holes in his training program. Going in to this hunting season we have shear confidence in Nelli’s retrieving skills. Thanks again Bill for all of your hard work!

    I just passed my 20 month old German Short Hair Pointer in back to back HRC Started Hunt Test this weekend thanks in a large part to the excellent force fetch training Bill did in May. I got compliments from the judges who told me of all the pointers at the test she retrieved the best even on ducks in the water!

    I recommend Bill to train your dog from basic obedience to finished test participant. Thanks again Bill.
