"Ed is truly one of a kind both as a dog trainer and as a person. I’ve known him for over 10 years, and he was my boss for five of those. Even after that, we’ve stayed in contact, which says a lot about the kind of impact he has on people. He leads with integrity, treats others with respect, and genuinely cares. As a trainer, Ed has an incredible ability to understand each dog’s temperament and tailor his approach. He’s patient, consistent, and calm, creating real, lasting results for both dogs and their owners. He’s not just an exceptional trainer he’s an amazing boss, loyal friend, and an incredible soul."

"Autumn Breeze Kennels is a great place to have your hunting dog trained. We have had 3 of our dogs (a German Shorthaired pointer, a Bracco Italiano, and a Labrador retriever) professionally trained by Ed. They come back with great hunting skills! We still board our dogs there when we are out of town and they are always excited to see Ed. They love him. Our dogs have the very best pointing, hunting, fetch and holding skills! They do not drop whatever they are holding and bring it right to our hand when asked. Thanks Ed!"

"Ed, Thank you for all of your help training our first bracco and walking us thru the NAVDHA process. You were also great with training our second bracco. We have appreciated your care, advice and occasional boarding service. Thank You Ed!"

"When folks asked where Stormy and Dani “Pudel Pointers” were I told them they were off at “Harvard" for some training. We’ll have to say it appears as they were at “Harvard”. While there for 3 weeks Ed kept me updated date on their progress via videos and text messages which built anticipation for my self and son. Last weekend we bought 9 pheasants and had some fun with them as well as a few wild ruffed grouse. This past weekend I was at our shack for two days. Stormy pointed plenty of birds however i was only able to bag few due to heavy cover and my ability to shoot straight. Today they are 6 months old and when Ed said they will be ready to “hunt” you weren’t bull shitting! Thank You, Ed!"

"Ed, thank you for taking my puppy "Walter," a German Shorthair Pointer, to the next level. When I brought Walter to you for some formal training, I was hesitant to do so. I have always taken pride in training my GSP. I did not have time to give Walter the training he needed. When I brought Walter to you, he was not steady to shoot; he would bump birds, and retrieving wasn't even a thought on his mind. I took Walter on his first trip to South Dakota to hunt pheasants, and Walter exceeded my expectations. In one of the first fields we were hunting in, Walter went on point 87 yards in front of me with no issues, but my buddy's dog got up three birds before we got to Walter. During the chaos, Walter held point throughout all of the chaos. We finally worked our way up to Walter. I got to flush the rooster. When the rooster got up, I winged it, and it flew off in the distance. I was so pissed at myself until I watched Walter take off after the rooster. I watched my Garmin, and Walter was 325 to 330 yards away. Then, over the hill, Walter came back with the rooster. This could not be possible if it weren't for the training Walter received from you. Thank you!"

"Hello Ed! Riva, our DD, is 1 year old. We just had her spayed which was bitter sweet. She is so good both as a hunter and a house dog that depriving her from having pups to share somehow seems wrong. We didn’t do the required testing either which bore a little on the decision. She started her hunting in Montana for sharpies and sage grouse at 8months old after 4 weeks with Ed. Just her a friend and me got our limit of birds all 3 days there. She was so good she didn’t miss a bird the whole time and we didn’t miss many. The friend has been bugging me ever since to make sure we do it next year just the 3 of us. He just loved hunting with her. Then Duck hunting every week in Detroit Lakes and a few days mixed in on rough grouse. Then out to So Dakota for 3days of pheasant. Sprinkle in a half dozen days at the game farm and she and I had a pretty full hunting season. Great for her first. I am biased but she was and is one of the best all ready. The guide we had in So Dakota who breeds and trains Brittany was impressed commenting a few times as do many others. That said there are some things to work on and I tried to balance between keeping it fun and nurturing the natural abilities and perfect classic point while instilling heal, whoa, quartering and fetch to hand, dead bird, no bird, and getting good with hand signals. Things I’ll be sending her back to Ed to work on are holding steady on point and to shot. Her duck hunting from a boat is stellar - unusually quiet and steady and will sit for an hour just scouring the sky for birds. She does get jumpy at the shot-need to work on steady to shot. She has fast become my favorite of all the hunting dogs I’ve had and Marta and I love her. As good as she is in the field she is as good at home with people and other dogs. We want to thank you both for such a gift and a sincere thanks and best wishes for the new year!"
