Eric Bartlett
Hollis, ME
Background
Living in rural Maine alongside the Saco River, wildfowling became a passion that started Eric on a road of working retrievers. Surrounding towns offered ample training grounds on which he began to build his understanding of how to train a retriever to be a champion.
Being a bit more than an avid wildfowler, he got involved with local dog and WWT clubs. It was at this point he began to see a certain direction he wanted to go in, and it was undoubtedly around dogs and wildfowling. Watching a sunrise with man’s best friend never gets old, no matter how cold it seems to get.
Now Eric is an Avery Outdoors Pro Staffer and runs an HRC club, so he trains daily, hosts several events a year, and works with numerous people in getting their dogs to a higher level of performance.
Why I Use SportDOG Brand
I use SportDOG Brand collars because of their innovative technology to make a better, easier-to-use collar that suits any trainer and their own personal level of experience. I use SportDOG because of its larger comfortable feel and easy access to buttons while I'm training. In the field I prefer the SportDOG as it's more compact and easy to access when I'm hauling gear.

Gary has been hunting upland game for 15 years. Training Labradors and German shorthaired pointers for upland hunting is his speciality. 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.
