Established in 1990, Right Start Kennels focuses solely on giving young retrievers the "Right Start Advantage". We specialize in taking young dogs and progressing them from the basics through transition, ideally prepared to go on to advanced training. We provide individualized training based on the needs of the student within the parameters of a well designed, step-by-step, progressive program. Jim got his start training dogs at the early age of 17 when he became the proud owner of a Labrador Retriever. His first entry in a local field trial won him a ribbon which planted the seeds for his eventual career. Jim’s college education was funded by his talent as a dog trainer where he graduated with an education degree in 1984, after which he went on to become a high school teacher. With experience as an educator and with his intuitive dog training skill, Right Start Kennel was born in 1990. Since then, RSK has provided the foundation for twelve national field titles and 174 field champions. The headquarters for RSK is Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin with winter grounds in Cairo, Georgia affording the young students optimum learning opportunities year round. While Jim does not run many trials himself, preferring to stay home and train, he and his students usually run several derby stakes each year. Jim’s training philosophy is to develop a dog to its full potential by teaching within a structured, progressive training program.

Jim’s DVD is a three disc set providing 5-hours of insight, instruction and tips focusing on yard work.
