Long Hollow Bird Dogs

Ryan and Blake run a top notch program. You would be hard pressed to find someone with more dog training knowledge than Ryan. The cool thing about Long Hollow is Ryan is very well versed in Upland Bird dogs and Retrieves. His experience in both retriever training as well as upland makes him a very well rounded dog trainer. I personally have been to his kennel and you can rest assured your best friend will be well cared for. I have own a couple dogs that have been trained by Ryan and I couldn’t be more happier with the outcome of my dogs.

My English Setter has been enrolled bird dog training here and have been thoroughly impressed. Their expertise, dedication, and communication were beyond expectations. The place is well set up , simulating real hunting scenarios that significantly contributed to my dog's progression. Ryan is not only knowledgeable but also exceptionally caring, making the entire process a collaborative and enjoyable experience. My dog's loves it here and her skills have greatly improved, making her a better hunting companion and family member. I highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch bird dog training. I was able to get my dog here as well and she is super healthy and bird crazy. I also enjoy the weekly meetups Ryan and I schedule as he not only trains my dog but me as well. I get the opportunity to see the training in action.

I have purchased two dogs from Ryan, my first was a yellow Lab puppy(Gus). I picked him up at 1 yr old very well socialized and trained. He often hunts out of a blind in the morning and chases pheasants in the afternoon. Does both extremely well. He is back with Ryan and Blake now for round two of advanced training. I recently bought an English Setter ( Scooby) from Ryan, he is finishing his training now. If you want great dogs, very well trained by someone who is passionate about his trade and is very good at it, this is the place for a hunting dog

Long Hollow Bird Dogs and Retrievers is an amazing outfit. Ryan Fortier inherently has a natural ability to work with dogs on a scale that I had never seen before and am thankful for what he has done for my dog on UpLand training . I look forward to sending my dog back down to Ellensburg, WA from AK this May to further his training on Waterfowl. The kennel is the most organized, tidy and clean of all kennels that I’ve been to. Ryan is kind, personable and a true professional at his craft. When the time comes to for another pup, Long Hollow will our kennel of choice. - Joe Compean ALASKA
