Our Training Philosophy

At the Grand Blanc Hunt Club, the philosophy of dog training is rooted in positive reinforcement. Charlie and Chuck believe that well-trained dogs should work to earn praise rather than avoid punishment. This approach not only brings out the best in each dog but also ensures they enjoy the training process.

Whether for a family outing or business entertainment, watching the expertly trained dogs work is a significant part of the Grand Blanc Hunt Club experience. The Linblades' emphasis on trust and positive relationships between the trainer and the dog is evident in every aspect of their training program.
