With locations in Marshall, Missouri (1 hour east of Kansas City), here at Wilson’s Retrievers we are geared towards training gun dogs for both hunting and competing in HRC and AKC hunt tests. The Hunt Test program is a yardstick that measures a dog’s capabilities, and keeps you training to a high level in the off season.

While many people like to keep their dogs in training year-round, believing that a couple months of hunting will mess them up, we believe otherwise. Dogs are meant to be gun dogs! Hunting is what they are bred for and love to do. We train our dogs to be great hunting dogs first and then train for hunt tests during the off season. We hunt as many days during the season as work and wives will allow. Our dogs were bought to be hunting dogs and because we enjoy working with them and training so much, we have evolved into the hunt test world as well.
