If you are looking for honest, hard working trainers who care about your dog, can teach your dog and teach you how to handle and work in partnership with your dog, Ronnie Smith Kennels this is the place for you.

Great facility, state-of-the-art. Decades of knowledge and experience. A bucket list destination for anyone in the bird dog world.

This family has a long history of training dogs and trialing at the highest level. They are incredible at reading dog behavior, and are able to relate that knowledge to dog handlers of all levels. Their seminars are packed full of information and hands on experience, and are filled with people who share a passion for getting the most of their dogs. And for those of us that don't have time to train our own dogs, 90 days at RSK will result in your dog being ready to perform during bird season.

Ronnie and Susanna are the best in the nation with pointing dogs. Bring them a dog with good genetics and they will give you back an accomplished and well trained hunting companion. They charge a bit more than many, but the result is head and shoulders above any other trainers out there. I had my Brittany Penny trained at Ronnies 5 years ago and she came back with all the pointing and backing skills you could want. We went hunting for a year and had great fun. Penny wasn't interested in retrieving reliably, but a second quick trip back to RSK and Suzanna trained that out of her. In short order, Susanna had Penny doing 100% mark, retrieve and bringing the bird back to my hand. My friends all raved about my great hunting dog. Dogs are treated well and trained to their strengths and pe

Wonderful experience and loaded with knowledge. The facility was first class and the participants were friendly. Rick's contribuation to the Dog world is a gift to the Sport.
