About Us

We believe that training success leads to competitive success. Our dogs show style and confidence and are very willing workers.

We build on your dog's natural talents and fill in whatever gaps may exist. When you go to the line at a field trial or hunt test, or take your place in the duck blind, you will be proud and confident in your dog's abilities and it will show!

Whether you have a puppy ready to start or an older dog in need of a "brush up", we will tailor a program to fit your goals and your budget. We will work with you to determine where you and your dog are, understand your goals and design a program to meet those goals.

We have a proven track record of accomplishment. Call us at (815) 496-2016 or (815) 210-4837 or by email at miners@minerskennel.com.
