The Legacy of Excellence: Charlie Linblade and Family

Charlie Linblade's journey as a gun dog trainer and hunting preserve operator is one of passion, expertise, and unyielding dedication.

Our Unique Training Approach

At Michigan Wing Shooter, we believe that the joy of hunting is magnified when accompanied by well-trained dogs. Our training philosophy focuses on positive reinforcement, which not only builds trust but also enhances the natural abilities of our dogs. This approach ensures that our dogs work out of a desire to please rather than fear of punishment.

The bond between hunter and dog is central to the hunting experience at the Michigan Game Bird Preserve. Watching our dogs work with enthusiasm and precision is a testament to our training methods. We cater to all hunters, whether it's a family adventure or a corporate outing, providing personalized guidance to help you build a strong relationship with your dog and improve your hunting techniques.
