Dog Training in Frankston, TX
Contact Usabout
Grant and Alex Huff have a combined 35 years experience training dogs to an advanced level for AKC hunt tests, duck hunting, and obedience. They both grew up in East Texas with a love for duck hunting and dogs, which eventually led them to a career working with dogs of all breeds. They love seeing dogs reach their full potential and bridging the knowledge gap between clients and their pets. Unlike many trainers, Grant and Alex do all of the training themselves, from start to finish. This ensures each dog is getting the most out of their time at One Shot Retrievers. Furthermore, they will spend a significant amount of time helping owners understand how to fairly correct and handle their dog once they take them home. One Shot Retrievers looks forward to working with you and your dog!

AKC Field Trial Program
Field Trials are extremely challenging competitions that test the mental toughness, intelligence, and obedience of retrievers at the highest and most structured levels possible. Dogs that are consistently placing at this level are thought to be some of the most talented retrievers in the world. We only accept dogs from pedigrees that are specifically bred for this game. This ensures they have the best chance of success in this program. We highly encourage you to call us for help with puppy selection prior to going this route with your dog.
Monthly Fee: $800 per month
Handler Fee: $100 per event

* Please note, that this program exclusively serves as a precursor to our Gun Dog Basics program, focusing solely on gun dog preparation rather than general obedience training.
Boarding
We offer boarding for all breeds. Dogs who stay for boarding will have playtime 2-3 times a day on our 50 acre property, which features two ponds. We will provide food, but clients are welcome and encouraged to bring their own to keep the dog on a consistent diet.

Snake Avoidance Clinic
Please join us each August for our annual Snake Avoidance Clinic!
Wayne Lain, of snakebreaker.com, specializes in training pets and hunting dogs to avoid dangerous snakes. He uses live Rattlesnakes, Copperheads, and Water Moccasins (when available) that have been rendered harmless by removing the fangs and taping the mouth shut. He then introduces the dog to the sound, smell, and sight of the snakes. At a precise moment the dog alerts on these senses, he gives a brief stimulation with the E-collar. The dog associates the snake with delivering the stimulation. The training wears off over time. His best suggestion for keeping your animal safe is to vaccinate your animals with the Rattlesnake vaccine and get snake avoidance training every year.
$100 per dog
