Gary Sheffer

Monticello, IN

Background

Gary has been hunting upland game for 15 years. Training Labs and German shorthairs for upland hunting is his specialty. Whether hunting pheasant or quail in Indiana, it is a great feeling to see a dog that he has trained point a bird and then retrieve it.

Why I Use SportDOG Brand

I use SportDOG Brand® collars for many reasons. I’ve found they are the easiest to use and most durable e-collar a person can purchase. The staff at SportDOG are excellent people to work with and answer questions.
