My name is Greg Dixon. I’ve hunted with bird dogs for over twenty years.
I started training professionally full time in 1994 and finished my first field
champion in 1998. Since 1998; many dogs that I have trained have
earned multiple
titles including Field Champions, Amateur Field Champions, National and
National Amateur Champions. I’ve trained Master Hunters, NAVHDA Utility dogs
and many good ol’ huntin’ dogs. I feel one of the keys to success is
training on wild birds and offer wild bird trips to Texas and North Dakota
where your dog can encounter native birds in a training situation.
I’ve got the knowledge and experience to help you with your bird dog.
- Backwoods Kennels

year round – whether winter in Texas, summer on the prairies of North Dakota

Introduction for Young Dogs
Give your pup the right start by letting a pro develop its inherited natural
abilities. The foundation for success starts with the proper introduction to
birds, cover, water and gunfire. Beginning yard work includes whoa, heel,
come and other basic commands while the pup gets plenty of attention as it
learns. This is the most important stage of your young dog’s life. Basic Gun Dog Training
General gun dog course includes basic yard work – whoa, heel, come,
steadiness to wing and shot, force breaking and conditioning. Proven
conditioning methods build stamina and desire while working toward a
well-mannered, cooperative hunting companion.
Handling and training available for your hunt test or field trial dog.
After the program, time will be spent with the owner, teaching how to handle
and continue the dog’s training. Individual problems and solutions discussed
with dog owners.

Winter Training in Texas
Backwoods Kennels offers dog training for your bird dog during the winter
months. Send your promising young dog or your seasoned hunting companion to
a warmer climate for an early start or a needed tune-up.
Winter months are lost months for your hunting dog. While everyone else
fights the cold, snowy winter, give your dog the opportunity for plenty of
exercise, sunny skies, birds galore and top notch training.
The Texas trip is generally
10 weeks in length, and starts the end of
January.
