DOG TRAINING
Teamwork. Respect. Consistency. Fairness. That’s what Baypoint Kennels strives to achieve with their clients and dogs. Whether it’s basic obedience, a gun dog tune-up before hunting season, or aspirations to run in field trials, Baypoint can help you and your dog accomplish these goals.
Trainer, Dan DeVos started his career in 1983 by learning to train his own dog, FTCH/AFTCH Gahonk’s Leave it to Jessie. Traveling across North America and learning from other professionals such as D.L. Walters and Rex Carr, Dan perfected his training program.
Dan has placed Field Champion titles on numerous dogs and bitches, including winning Canadian Nationals. Dan also trained both the dog and handler that won the Canadian National in 1999, and has handled countless finalists in the Nationals. He is also the proud trainer of several high point derby dogs, and a US National derby finalist
Dan’s wife Gloria earned her masters degree in Behaviour Science, and puts the starting foundation on all the young dogs – from obedience to field basics.
Working together, Dan and Gloria have put together a successful, consistent and flexible program that gives handlers and their dogs the knowledge and experience to run with confidence.
