Full description and what we offer
Meemo's Farm brings in Ronnie Smith, a third-generation bird dog trainer whose uncle Delmar Smith founded the Smith Training Method and made the Field Trial Hall of Fame. This isn't distant instruction—Smith spent decades guiding hunts on major Texas ranches and has been teaching seminars across the country since taking over Ronnie Smith Kennels in 1982.
The Foundation Seminar is the core of the Smith Training Method. Everything else branches from it. Over a weekend, you work through:
- •Bird introductions
- •Check cording to birds
- •Pointing and honoring
- •Recalling and heeling
- •General behavior issues
- •Reading your dog's behavior and understanding what it's feeling
Smith emphasizes teaching you to read your dog's behavior and interact in ways that actually help the dog—not just get obedience.
Hands-on training starts at 8:00 AM Saturday and Sunday, wrapping around 3:00 PM. Mix of demonstrations, group sessions, and direct one-on-one work with your dog. Classes stay small intentionally.
- •Cost: $395 per person | Overnight packages available
Meemo's Farm sits on working land in Oregon with facilities for shooting, hunting, and dog training. The property includes rifle and handgun ranges, sporting clays, skeet, and 5-stand shooting.
