Our Facility
Location: 12401 Fairlane Rd. Lucerne Valley, CA 92356
- Centrally located just 2 hours from downtown Los Angeles. We train all pointing and flushing dogs for upland bird hunting. Our hunting dog training grounds include our own 20 acres of real "Wild Bird" High Desert Habitat with Quail and Chukar available year round and Pheasants upon request with thousands of unfenced wild acres surrounding our facility.
Our Grounds
- We believe your upland bird dog training should be done on the same type of grounds that you will be hunting. Our training facility is just that. Real hunting grounds on our own property for gun dog training and for training the novice handler. Our training grounds are perfect for seeing your hunting dog training at all times in a natural wild surrounding so you can learn to handle your pointing dog or flushing dog correctly. We also have Summer and Winter Camp training for training on wild and liberated birds. See our section on Camps.
Our Kennel
- We are a licensed kennel with the State of CA, County of San Bernardino and have a well lit 1400 square foot totally secured indoor heated and cooled boarding facility. It includes indoor individual kennel runs with misters and fans for summer, propane heater for winter and 5 large outdoor exercise areas that are shaded for summer heat. Your hunting dog is not just caged in a dog run or staked out on a chain all day when it isn't being worked. It will be outdoors training, exercising or relaxing in our indoor secured kennel building with other gun dogs for the remainder of the day. We want you and your dog to not only enjoy the training but your dog to be comfortable and safe during the stay here as well. Our facility is kept clean, sanitary and protected at all times. Every dog at our kennel is required to be current on DHL, Parvo, and Rabies shots.
