Fly-n-Gun Kennels, LLC

I’ve been going to Craig and his family for guidance and help with hunting dog training for several years now. I continue going to Craig’s because my dogs and I grow from each interaction. I believe in Craig and the Hunsmith method. The Huntsmith method makes sense to me. This discipline of dog training is based on dog development and mutual respect. It breaks down a dog’s hunting development into small steps that are easy for your pup to understand. Those steps are scaffolded to help with each successive step that follows. In the end your dog could be steady and stylish. And to me, that is what bird hunting is all about-a pretty looking dog working birds in the woods or prairies. Craig believes in training the dog AND dog handler. Training your pup would be futile if you did not know h

My boyfriend and I are so happy (and thankful) for all of the work that Craig did with our puppy! We have an English setter that was around 8 months old when we dropped her off for training. Prior to training at Fly-n-Gun Kennels, I had tried a variety of training classes with little success. Our puppy is super sweet, but is also very anxious and apprehensive, with an insane energy level and prey drive. Once she hit her “teenage” phase around 6/7 months, we quickly realized that she was too nervous, fast and smart for her own good and needed more help than the treat-based classes we had previously participated in. Our goal for our dog was to have an excellent hunting/working dog, while also having her be a good member of the family. Craig was super receptive to our goals. Nala (our puppy)

Whether you are looking for a kennel to board your dog, obedience training, puppy development or hunting dog training, look no further than Fly-n-Gun Kennels. This is a family-owned and run business that you can trust to take great care of your dog! The facility is the cleanest I've see and the Steinbach family is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The training program is top notch and you can tell that Craig not only has a passion for what he does, but enjoys teaching others how to continue the program at home to get the best results! I know people all over the country who book their dogs in with Fly-n-Gun because they are the best at what they do! I would highly recommend this kennel to anyone!

We sent our dog for a few week training session in the fall. This place was awesome! Craig was amazing with our Boykin Spaniel. He took the time to explain the training philosophy and to train us as well as our dog. Our pup was there for an abbreviated session (2-3 weeks) due to the time of the year, but we will definitely be sending him back! You can tell Craig really cares for all of the dogs there.

Just got our dog back from two months training with Fly-N-Gun. Not only did our dog learn but Craig spent ample time explaining the process to us. We are truly communicating on a different level. Our boy spent time with multiple handlers, multiple dogs and in a variety of training settings. We felt like he was part of the family. I would not hesitate to go back to them with our next dog.
