about

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!

All Breed Basic Obedience(New!)

Our All Breed Basic Obedience program is designed to build a strong foundation of communication and trust between you and your dog through positive reinforcement and consistent training. This on-lead program focuses on essential commands and attention training, helping establish you as your dog’s trusted leader. We also introduce the beginning phases of e-collar conditioning in a safe, gradual manner to support long-term success. All breeds are welcome, and our approach ensures your dog learns to respond reliably in any situation, making training both effective and rewarding.

All Breed Advanced Obedience

Our all breed obedience program is a six-week course offered for all breeds. This advanced program focuses on building reliable off-leash control and precision with core commands. Dogs in this program will learn and master: a reliable Here (Recall) even with distractions, a precise Heel both on and off leash, a solid Sit and Stay in various situations, and a dependable Kennel command. At the end of the program, your dog will be collar conditioned to ensure responsiveness and performing these commands confidently off lead in appropriate environments. This training enhances communication, provides greater freedom for your dog, and reinforces essential manners such as not jumping on people.

Advanced Gun Dog

icon

This program is for dogs that have completed the Basic Gun Dog program and is an additional 4-6 months. Dogs in the advanced program will be continuing their education by learning how to run blind retrieves, which means the handler guides the dog to a bird they didn’t see fall with hand signals and a whistle. Genetics and pedigree play a strong role in how long it takes each dog to reach specific advancement goals. We highly suggest contacting us prior to selecting a puppy if you would like to take your dog past the basics program. Training discounts are available to dogs that are specifically bred for high trainability and desire levels.

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.

Snake Avoidance Clinic

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.
