“Jamie and Tippe truly care for the dogs and keep an eye on every aspect of the dogs' well being.  Jamie knows dogs; hard dogs, soft dogs, biddable and incorrigible, Jamie gets results with them all.  Thanks to Jamie's hard work and training, my Katie (Pine Straw Katydid) was in top form for the 2010 National  Amateur Grouse Championship and took Runner-Up Champion.”

"Jamie is caring and careful with my dog, and has developed an individual plan for him. I appreciate that he keeps his vision set on the overall dog -- to develop one that excels for the long haul."

“I'm new to the field trial world, and Jamie has been a great help to me. I would never have made it through my first trial without his guidance.   He is a knowledgeable and confident trainer and has really brought my young dogs along.  He and Tippe are good people to know and good friends to have.”

Betty Morgan




“Jamie took Boone when he was about 9 months old and has produced a well trained and obedient hunting dog.  We have participated in several field trials – with ribbons to show for the good work. Boone has his Junior Hunter title and a leg towards his Senior title. Jamie is professional and personable in his approach to working with the dogs and their owners. Thank you, Jamie, for being more than a trainer – for being a friend.”

“Tippe and Jamie are wonderful to work with. I now have my fourth dog with them and won't hesitate to send another one. Jamie has a great rapport with the dogs and works with the owners to get them comfortable running their own dogs. I have almost learned as much as my dogs have.”

“Jamie and Tippe have been so welcoming and personable with me and my dog. Jamie has been great to listen to me and my concerns and then express an honest and true opinion to me. I'm new to field trialing and he's being quite helpful with giving input and guidance. I feel at ease that's he's taking great care with my dog, as well as others he has with him.”

Jane Baker




“I truly love the way Jamie and Tippe run their business. Very professional as well as tailored to my specific training and competition needs. It is wonderful to have this type of partnership when it comes to my goals for my dogs. And their hospitality couldn't be more open, warm and welcoming!”

“In the short time that I have known Jamie, he has been very professional and honest to me.  Jamie took Riley, our young Vizsla female, to Montana for the summer.  She came back in great shape, and we could see that she had been very well taken care of - and as an owner that means the most.  Riley also placed in her first field trial, taking second in Towner ND in the Derby.  That tells me that Jamie is a good trainer and a very good handler. We would definitely recommend Jamie and Tippe to train and care for your valuable pet.”

Vincent Tuttle




“Jamie has done a real nice job training and field trialing two of my young bitches.  We have points from last year on both girls now and hopefully will get some more this season, and maybe finish one!"

Jay Hallaron




“Jamie has an innate ability to read each dog's personality and tailor his training to meet their individual  needs. He has built a great relationship with each of our dogs in his program. We have entrusted Jamie and Tippe with our "kids", and they treat them like their own. We are very happy having Jamie as our  trainer/handler."
