Welcome to Marks-A-Lot
Kennels where results are produced, NOT excuses.
Dan Kielty and the Marks-A-Lot program are producing the top field
trial, hunt test and superior hunting retrievers in the country
today. Our record speaks for itself.
We work closely with our clients to accomplish
their goals for their retrievers. Our philosophy is simple ...Teach
first and then correct. Our program is based on the Canine Learnign
Curve. Whether you are a serious hunter or just want to compete
in field trials or hunt tests, Marks-A-Lot Kennels is the place
for your retriever's training.

Dan customizes each dog's program with the
owner's goals in mind. Full time training is available for serious
field trial, hunt tests and hunting dog owners. Private classes
are available for the owner and dog that wants professional assistance
on a per class basis. We train 7 days a week and our clients are
always welcomed and encouraged to participate in training as much
as possible. We extend our hours in the summer months on Tuesday
and Thursday to allow clients the opportunity to work with their
dogs until dark.
HEAD-START PUPPY PROGRAM
As early as 7 weeks of age we begin headstart.
Introduction to birds, cover, gunfire, boats, blinds, water and
basic obedience prepares your retriever to begin formal training
at 5 to 6 months of age.
4 Month Gun Dog Basics Package
Basic training is $600.00 per month plus birds
At the completion of the program your hunting
retriever will be obedient, steady to shot, and force fetched. Dogs
completing this course are capable of competing at the AKC Junior
Hunter Level. This course builds a solid foundation on which to
build advanced concepts if the owner desires.

Four Month Transition Training
Transition training is $600.00 per month plus birds
Force to pile, the double T, Water T, 6 hand
casting, lining drills, pattern blinds on land and water as well
as multiple marking scenarios, doubles, triples and quads. Following
this program your retriever can run blind retrieves taking hand
and whistle signals to retrieve birds they did not see fall. This
is a tremendous advantage during any hunt and in competition. Your
retriever is now performing at a Senior Hunter Level and later a
Master Level.
