WingNut Retrievers:
Gun Dogs Crazy about Birds.​
​​
My name is Rodney Glenn, and I’m a retired Alaskan commercial fisherman. For 30 years, I longlined for Halibut and Black Cod across the Gulf of Alaska and the Bering Sea. What got me through those long years at sea was the anticipation of each fall, chasing waterfowl from Arizona to South Dakota. Over time, that passion for waterfowl hunting grew into something equally rewarding—training talented young Retrievers and helping hunters and enthusiasts enjoy their sport with a reliable, well-prepared dog.
I typically train up to six dogs at a time—some are my own, others belong to clients and friends, and some are being developed as starter dogs. My goal is ambitious: to create one of the premier training programs for young Retrievers. Providing solid, dependable training that truly makes a difference is important to me. With fair and affordable fees, our programs are designed to be a genuine investment in unlocking your Retriever’s full potential.

Training Programs
A unique, time-proven approach to customer satisfaction. We refrain from dragging on with month to month services. We charge one reasonable rate for each program.
We charge one straightforward price for each program. You commit to giving us a chance, and we commit to getting the job done.
Our goal is to provide essential training for hunting, hunt test and field trial retrievers. We have two programs, and each program provides training to a specific standard.
The "Force Fetch" program $1000.00 starts with obedience work, collar conditioning, and leash control. We then train force fetch, off-collar obedience, whistle control, and simple casting, and then we conclude by training and then testing your dog on pile work.
The "Handling Retriever" program $2500.00 takes your dog through the "Force Fetch" program, and then we teach advanced pile work, advanced casting, and advanced lining, enforce a higher level of whistle control and then we put it all together giving you the ability to run cold blinds and pick up dead birds where the dog did not see the "fall". The "Handling" program is finished when your dog will run an advanced test that incorporates multiple land marks and land blinds. We further teach you how to run your dog and explain where to go next with your training.
The "Swim-by" Program is an additional 700.00. The swim-by is done when your dog will enter swimming water on command and handle to three seperate blinds on the same piece of water,
Each program is outlined in a booklet. Each booklet contains: first, the contract which clearly outlines the training, and describes the finished product. Second, each booklet is a handler's guide. It explains in detail how to enjoy the training your dog has had, and how to build a working relationship with your dog.
Give us a chance to help you find the dog you want inside the dog you have.
