Welcome to Bald Mountain Labradors, located on 20 beautiful acres in Whitehall Montana. We are dedicated to training retrievers for hunting and for competition. Using our proven methods we train each retriever to maximize their potential specifically for the hunting style, and/or venue of competition, desired by their owner. Through repetition, clarity of instruction and a moderation of pressure, we bring out the best in your dogs as we train them to be confident and enthusiastic, running all-out on blinds and on marks. Manners and obedience are trained as a habit and is not maintained by threats. As a result your dog will maintain these habits when they go home.
Dogs vary tremendously in temperament, abilities, and response to training. You can send your dog to us confident in the knowledge that we have gained through years of combined experience in capitalizing on the strengths, minimizing the weaknesses, and adapting to the learning styles of the individual dogs to bring out the best in each of them. We get good results with soft dogs, difficult dogs, and dogs with correctable problems.
We limit the number of dogs we train to maintain the time and creativity needed for a customized approach.
Our kennels are safe, secure, clean, and comfortable. Our training grounds offer a full compliment of the water layouts, terrain, and cover variations needed to fully educate a retriever.
