Kitchi Kahniss Retrievers   

"A Gentlemen's Gundog"

   Kitchi Kahniss Retrievers is dedicated to providing quality Gun Dog Training, Obedience Training, and AKC Hunt Test Training. We provide dog training services from our small, clean, and disease free facility in Minnesota and Texas. We lease or have access to 3000+ acres of land with different terrain & cover to expose our dogs to different hunting situations and scenarios.  We want you to feel good about leaving your dog with us and knowing they're in good hands.

  Did you know dogs are pack animals, just like wolves.  They think of their crates as their den or their own bedroom.  

Did you know that your dog thinks of you as part of its pack?

It's up to you whether you are the alpha in the pack or just a worker in the pack!

What We Do

  We operate & train a little differently than "traditional" kennels.  We train "Gentlemen's gun dogs", dogs that are fired up in the field, but make great buddies/family members in the house.  We incorporate a lot of "Pack" training with our dogs and limit ourselves to 12 dogs for training.  This allows us to harmonize and balance the dogs that come into our pack, so we can give more time to each individual dog.  Our number one goal is to help your dog find inner balance and help our clients find peace of mind. We strive to be mentors to our clients and each dog, which allows us to be more thorough in training both you and your dog.  We run field-work (land-marks & water-marks), and yard-work/obedience daily.  We have daily "pack" runs, where every dog in the kennel runs together as a pack, so they can just have fun being a dog.  This really helps them to work together as a pack.  We make weekly update calls to our clients advising them of their dogs progress. 

  My kennel is not a "traditional" kennel, meaning your dog stays in a 4' x 12' chain link run.  Our dogs live with me, as they do at their homes and each has their own crate.

  These methods, I believe, allow us to give you a more well rounded dog.
