Dogs and their training methods have both evolved dramatically.  You are just as likely to see a GPS on a dog collar in the field as you would on your own mobile phone!  Our chapter has embraced this technology to help improve the training and hunting experience for both you & your dog.

The Valley of the Sun Chapter has a very diverse mixture of pointing dog breeds and membership.  This mixture helps our chapter provide an environment that allows for the successful training of versatile hunting dogs, and their owners, for both hunting and testing.

We hold training days in & around the greater Valley of the Sun on public lands with diverse ground which aids in our purpose of successful training of versatile hunting dogs.

Our Training program focuses on the core components that all hunting dogs should provide:

• Field Search
• Pointing
• Steadiness
• Retrieving Game to Hand
• Tracking Game
• Water Retrieves and Searches
• Steadiness and Obedience by the Blind
