Dog Training

Hunting dogs and started dogs are developed at our kennels on our 106 acre ranch located in Santa Barbara County, California. The southern California climate provides us with with ideal year round weather and perfect working conditions. Our dogs are trained over well maintained quail habitat.

After training, our dogs are used on hunts in Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, Arizona, Texas and California

Our dogs stand in a league of their own when it comes to style and conformation.


 
Pups are started on a gang chain at Elite Pointers. It is one of the easiest and best things you can do for early development.   Running youngsters through challenging cover early on builds their mental toughness and makes for a better hunting dog for the years to come.

 
Keeping notes on pups is an important process at Elite Pointers. They go through so many changes in their first years that it is our careful selection that helps us maintain our breeding standards.   Young prospect pictured with trainer Sheldon Twer on private grounds in Oakdale, California.
