Burnt Creek Bird Dogs

Burnt Creek Bird Dogs is a small, family-run operation focused on personalized upland gun dog training. Located on their property in northern Reno, they work with a limited number of dogs at a time—which means your pup gets real 1-on-1 attention instead of being one dog among twenty.

Foundation Program ($975/month, 4 weeks) For dogs 4+ months old getting their first season ready: - Basic gun dog manners (come, go with, stand still) - Bird and gun introduction - Pointing drills, natural retrieve, obedience - Food included (Diamond Naturals)

Formal Training ($975/month, 3-month class) Three months of work toward being steady to wing and shot: - Intermediate bird dog manners - Formal WOAH training - Off-leash obedience - Backing introduction - 4 group owner training sessions included - Food included (Diamond Naturals)

Boarding - $35/night for 1 dog, $55/night for 2 dogs, $60/night during holidays. Boarded dogs get 1–2 free group runs up their 2-mile hill daily plus lounge time in 5x10 kennels. If you've trained with them before, add tune-up training for $5/day.

Private Lessons - $75/hour for personalized work tailored to your dog's level and your hunting goals.

Facility Use - $30/hour to use their property as training grounds. Includes equipment and up to 6 homing pigeons (with additional fee if your dog takes one).

"Jason speaks dog! Learning from him was a highlight for us as he is kind but firm with the dogs. Not only is she surpassing my husband's standards for hunting but she's a completely different dog inside the house too." — Anna Chatelle, Foundation Class

They don't just train dogs—they teach owners how to lead. The connection between hunter and dog matters as much as the foundation.
