Where Dual Dreams Come True
Jean Webb's Gun Dog Training
Individualized Pointing Dog Training
Rob and I have been field trailing for years.  We started by running and chairing the local field trial and over the years built a successful training business.  Our farm is located just south of Columbus, Ohio.  It has three different sized fields and with varying terrains, wooded ravines and the Big Darby River.  I can work dogs in the wide-open flats, the tree lines, or through the woods.  In short, they can work in a variety of situations and I can tailor training to their individual needs.  The farm has been a great place for teaching horseback gun dogs and walking hunting dogs.
"A Gun Dog must give a finished performance and must be under its handler’s control at all times.  .  . A Gun Dog must show a keen desire to hunt, must have a bold and attractive style of running, and must demonstrate not only intelligence in quartering and in seeking objectives but also the ability to find game.  . . It must cover adequate ground but never range out of sight for a length of time that would detract from its usefulness as a practical hunting dog. The dog must locate game, must point staunchly, and must be steady to wing and shot. Intelligent use of the wind and terrain in locating game, accurate nose, and style and intensity on point, are essential." www.akc.org
"An All-Age Dog must give a finished performance and must be under reasonable control of its handler. It must show a keen desire to hunt, must have a bold and attractive style of running, and must show independence in hunting. It must range well out in a forward moving pattern, seeking the most promising objectives, so as to locate any game on the course.  .  .The dog must demonstrate its independent judgment in hunting the course, but must show a willingness to handle when called upon. The dog must find game, must point staunchly, and must be steady to wing and shot. Intelligent use of the wind and terrain in locating game, accurate nose, and style and intensity on point, are essential." www.akc.org
Here are a few of the great dogs I have had the honor of working with and training. I am glad to work with the owners to achieve their goals.
Congratulations to All!

AKC Field Trials
Field Trials are the place to finally prove who has the best pointing dog. Everyone likes to brag but this sport tries to help you prove it. All of the stakes (as classes are known in this sport) are judged by the hunting standards of the AKC. The top four dogs are given placements of first though fourth with the championship points only going to the first placed dog. Once a dog has earned 10 points, it is awarded a Field Championship (FC). This championship is half of the coveted Dual Championship title.
Age groups divide the first level stakes. Young dogs between the ages of six and 15 months compete in Puppy Stakes.  The slightly older (15-24 months) puppies compete in the Derby Stake.  These stakes are designed to get young dogs out hunting in new places and learn the basics of the sport. Four championship points can be earned out of the juvenile stakes. Puppies simply need to show bold independence and hunting drive.  Derby requires a strong point and increased hunting talent.

The Gun Dogs are finished trained hunting companions.  You will be able to hunt over the finished field trial dog all day and have a ball doing it! A pointing dog is a “gun dog” when they can do all of the following:

•hold point until you release them
•back or honor the other dog on point
•not chase when a wild flush bird takes off

This all looks simple in print but, anyone who has a pointing dog will tell you this takes practice and maturity for the dog to perform consistently every time.
There are two types of field trials, walking or horse back handled.  The average dog learns the difference when the hunter is on foot vs. on horseback and adjusts accordingly.
