Setter Dogs
Spectator SportsKansas, United States1 Employees
Setter Dogs is a small training operation based in Beverly, Kansas, operating in the spectator sports space with a focus on bird dog training and guided hunts for deer, turkey, pheasants, and wild quail. The program covers upland bird dogs across pointing, flushing, versatile, and retriever breeds, guided by a humane training philosophy. The lead trainer brings about 30 years of hunting experience and has earned multiple bird dog championships and regional runner-up honors, and the company also serves as a dealer for Deer Creek Dog Boxes and Dogtra electronic collars and launchers. The business is located in northcentral Kansas in the Smoky Hills and Saline River Valley area. Programs are offered for pups and dogs four months old and older, with curricula tailored to each animal and including elements such as gun and bird introduction, obedience cues, quartering, handling, a dead bird finding, retrieving, honoring, and conditioning with electronic collars as appropriate. The operation is run with a very small team, effectively a single full-time trainer, and boarding is available as part of training for 500 dollars per month including birds, pro-rated by the day, while veterinary bills are the owner's responsibility; a boarding-only option is available at 10 dollars per day.
