Introducing Us

Have your dog stand out from the rest

Blooming from a small town in North Carolina with roots in Europe, our company has a strong foundation. Meeting all kinds of breeds have given us a great understanding of dog psychology and we are able to use that knowledge in training hunting companions. When it comes to staying on top of our game, we regularly travel to Europe to compete and work with reputable trainers and field trial judges. This allows us to offer our clients a high-quality service.

Whether you need a reliable hunting companion or you have the ambition to keep a titled hunter at home, you’ve come to the right place. At Cantrell’s Gundogs, all dogs enrolled in gundog training take canine conditioning classes where we make sure that they are in peak physical condition. This way we ensure that they can take on anything the hunt throws their way.

Nothing but amazing things to say about Simona! I sent my large breed dog Ace here for the Behavioral Board & Train Program and I could tell he absolutely loved it. I loved the updates, pictures, and videos that I would receive while being away from him. The training 100% worked and I could see immense improvement in his confidence and behavior. One of my favorite parts is the follow up training, so that I am equipped to continue the training that has been put into motion. Would recommend to anyone looking to really make a difference in their dogs life!

If you let your dog to be trained by Cantrell’s gundogs, you will get a professional approach and effective results! The fact that the training is done through positive reinforcement without any forced fetch was very important for us when choosing a trainer. We are glad that our dog is in the hands of Cantrell’s gundogs!
