Kennel owner/operator Don Arsenault has gained a reputation in the field of hunting dogs as a top-notch trainer, with a proven knack of getting the most from his students.
NEW for 2019! Obedience Training - for multiple breeds...
Obedience Training - won't come when you call? drags YOU on the leash? Experienced trainer Don Arsenault (call or text 902 758-5455), is now offering one-on-one Obedience training in addition to his hunting dog services. Don, co-owner of Ruff Country Kennel near Shubenacadie, NS says "It's all part of our 2019 25th Anniversary celebrations, as we expand our presence in the community & online this year.
Hunting Dogs - experience, technique & patience combine to produce a
well-behaved, well-trained working dog. Much of the animal's cooperation
comes from his desire to please and be praised by his master, and Don
knows how to instill that willing-ness, that game, can-do, WILL-DO
attitude in hunting dogs of various breeds.
There are several ponds nearby, situated on 220 acres of prime Woodcock
and Grouse habitat, perfect for the training of Pointing Dogs and Retrievers.
Ruff Country's rolling property provides a good range of environments and
terrain to train and condition your hunter for flexibility and endurance.
Fresh country air, regular exercise and our recommended feeding regime
will ensure he is in great condition at 'graduation time'.
