Eldon was the Purina Pro Handler of the year seven times and his customer, Hayley Killam, was Amateur Handler of the Year six times.
Eldon began his career training his own personal hunting dogs. His dogs did so well that many friends asked him to help with their dogs. As Eldon and his dogs progressed, he didn't feel comfortable leaving his dogs with other trainers, so elected to go full time into training dogs on a professional level. He has since been acknowledged as being a highly respected member of the bird dog training community. He not only trains, but also competes and judges many Championships including many National Championships. His compassion and integrity shows in how much all the dogs love him and love to work for him. He realizes that each dog is an individual and gives them the special care they need.
Professional Bird Dog Trainer Eldon Hongo can begin training your dog as early as a young puppy(approx. 6 mos.) for Hunting or Field Trials. He can train Field Trial Prospects from Puppy, Derby to finished broke dogs for AKC Field Trials and American Field Events all the way to training for National level AKC and American Field competition in Gun Dog, Shooting Dog and All Age Dog events. He can also train for retrieving/force train retrieve for hunting or field trial dogs.
