Hideaway Kennels

Hideaway Kennels is a pet boarding and bird dog training business in Hickory, North Carolina. It holds a rating of 4.70 from the customers who have reviewed it.

The kennel is owned by professional dog trainer Ben Garcia, who has spent twenty years training, guiding and competing with gun dogs and has worked with thousands of dogs and their behaviors. Through that experience he has worked out the best age to start a dog and the amount of time training should take to bring out its full potential as a hunter and as a member of the family. The facility includes a heated indoor/outdoor kennel and 3,000 acres of training and hunting grounds with upland cover and game birds. It is a USDA registered kennel, inspected annually by the USDA and the AKC. The grounds include four training ponds for water work. Training begins with a six-week puppy program covering the basic skills a young dog needs, after which the dog moves into the Tune Up Program with individualized one-on-one care and training. At the end of each training session, clients receive a schedule so they can continue the work without confusing commands the dog might not understand. The kennels also raise litters, and the business welcomes calls and emails about bird dog training and upcoming litters.

Ben Garcia's two decades with gun dogs and the kennel's USDA registration and annual inspections by the USDA and AKC are the foundation of its work in Hickory, where it trains dogs to succeed both in the field and at home.
