About Us

Dave Marshall and Sarah Conyngham train hunting dogs on 60 acres of state-managed forest and field in Hope Valley, Rhode Island, in the heart of southern New England. We also offer out-of-state training in Georgia every January to Mid-March. Our experience, knowledge, and training flexibility set us apart from our competitors.

Certified Trainers

Our company specializes in training gun and field dogs for amateur handlers. With respect to our training methods, we keep a relatively small number of trainers on the premises to give your dog the attention and time they deserve. We pride ourselves on the ability to evaluate a dog and tailor our training methods accordingly.
