After
meeting George for the first time in Montana, it is quite obvious
how this world class guy makes such an impact to the dog world.
You see it not only in his dogs, but you see how everyone that he
associates with benefits from his knowledge. I purchased a 2
year old English Pointer from George last year and could not be
happier. The dog handled the transition very well and is a
pleasure to hunt with. It is very enjoyable watching the dog
do what he was trained to do. The effectiveness you have in
the field with a dog of that caliber turns a good hunt into a
memorable experience. I cannot thank George enough for his
continuing support with the dog and additional training advice.
With the purchase of this dog, I gained not only an excellent bird
dog but a wonderful friend in George Hickox.

Although
an avid grouse and woodcock hunter, my career does not afford me
the time to train my pointers from pup to finished bird dog George's
Level 1 program has been a real winner for me...
allowing the dogs to experience
hundreds of birds in the field during the critical first
weeks of their lives, something that I am not able to do. George's
structured training regiment has allowed me to move my dogs up
the learning curve quickly, maximizing the number of seasons I can walk
into the coverts with a bold, confident companion.
I recently purchased my third Level 1 setter
from George and like the other two,
she is already
making huge strides to becoming a great bird dog,
something that would have taken me a year or more to accomplish from
a new pup. I firmly believe that George's Level 1 program is
the reason
my dogs have been so successful in finding, pointing and retrieving
both grouse and woodcock
in the North woods of Michigan so early
in their careers. Here's to the next, great first
season... Thanks
George! ~Matt Kress
