Big Game, Big Nose:
Training Dogs for the Hunt
We specialize in preparing dogs to track, trail, and tree big game in rugged mountain country.
Training Elite Hounds for Bear & Mountain Lion Hunts
Our hound training program is built on generations of experience in the mountains of Idaho. We train dogs to pick up scent trails, pursue game over rough terrain, and hold treed animals until the hunter arrives. We don’t just make dogs chase—we build confident, focused partners in the hunt.

Got a young hound you think is ready to work? Our Tree & Free service gives your dog the real-world experience they need to level up. We take you and your dog on an actual chase—no guarantees, no pressure, just the opportunity to get your dog on the scent and up a tree. It’s the perfect way to test their progress, sharpen their instincts, and see if they’ve got what it takes to run with the big dogs.
