About One Shot Retrievers

Grant and Alex Huff, owners of One Shot Retrievers, share a passion for dogs and over three decades of experience in the field of dog training. Raised in East Texas, their love for duck hunting and canines naturally evolved into a career dedicated to training dogs of all breeds to reach their full potential.

At One Shot Retrievers, we pride ourselves on our balanced training technique, which incorporates E-collar conditioning, a method often overlooked in standard pet training facilities. We believe in teaching both dogs and their owners the value of fair training, fostering a partnership built on trust and mutual respect.

Grant and Alex personally handle all aspects of training, from start to finish, ensuring every dog receives the individualized attention and care they deserve. Living on-site with the dogs, they treat each furry friend as a cherished member of the family, so no detail is overlooked in their training journey.

Our Dog Obedience Services

All Breed Obedience

Our six-week obedience program is suitable for all breeds and ages. Through positive reinforcement, E-collar training, and other effective techniques, we instill essential commands such as sit, stay, come, heel, and more. This program lays the foundation for a well-behaved and obedient companion.

Gun Dog Training

Perfect for hunting enthusiasts, our gun dog training program teaches essential skills for fieldwork. Basic training is four months long and covers obedience, retrieving, and exposure to gunshots. On the other hand, advanced training lasts an additional six to ten months and focuses on refining these skills for optimal performance in the field.

AKC Hunt Tests and Field Trials

For those interested in competitive dog sports, we offer specialized AKC hunt tests, field trials, and training for these events.

AKC hunt tests evaluate a dog's ability to perform tasks relevant to hunting situations, such as retrieving game and responding to commands. AKC field trials are competitive events where dogs showcase their skills in simulated hunting scenarios, judged on criteria like obedience, marking ability, and retrieving proficiency.

Our experienced trainers will prepare you and your dog for success in these challenging events, helping you navigate the intricacies of competition.

Boarding

When you need to be away, trust One Shot Retrievers to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your furry friend. Our boarding services include daily exercise, socialization, and personalized care to ensure your dog feels right at home.
