We don't make bird dogs. We bring out the one that's already in there.
Every dog that comes through Wolf Creek gets the same deal: honest work, real birds, patient hands, and a program built around the dog in front of us — not a cookie-cutter schedule. Boarding dogs live like our dogs live, because while they're here, they are.
Let the dog be the dog. Build the hunter first. The rest follows.
Straight off LeRoy's phone — Lady, Moose, Duke, and Kota working with LeRoy. This is what the program looks like.
The full Wolf Creek program. Your dog lives here and works like ours do — real birds, real cover, real progress you can see on the tailgate. The goal isn't "better." The goal is a fully trained upland dog.
Year one is for watching — and for building a confident, people-loving, bird-crazy pup the right way. No pressure, no shortcuts, no ruined prospects.
Your dog knows the job — he's just been on the couch since January. A focused tune-up that knocks the rust off before opening day so the first hunt isn't the practice hunt.
Not every dog here is a bird dog — but every dog can be a good one. Overnight training for the dog that needs structure, from a family that lives with a whole pack of them.
Add-Ons & Extras
Every program starts with a conversation about your dog. Prices are per dog — bring two, we'll talk.
"A huntin' dog that can run a trial — not a trial dog that can't hunt. That's what leaves this kennel."

Not sure which program fits? Neither is anybody until we've talked about your dog. That's why LeRoy answers his phone.
Duke's a good boy, not a vet or a lawyer. Health questions → your veterinarian. Seasons & regs → Iowa DNR.
For Dan. The one who started it all.
