Pointing Dog Trainer Victor Forsyth

About Us

Victor Forsyth - Founder, Head Trainer

Hi. My name is Victor Forsyth, and ever since I can remember, I have had a passion for pointing dogs. I got my first English Setter when I was 13, and I've been training dogs ever since. I've been competing in walking field trials and cover dog trials for the past 20 years, and now I'll bring my knowledge to other dogs through my training program. As your dog's trainer, I'll guide them down the path to being a premier bird dog. Click below to read more about me and my experience!
