Cabin Creek Gundogs, located in Lakeview, Oregon is owned and operated by Jess and Tifanee Spradley.
Jess Spradley
Jess has been training and hunting over dogs for the past 20 years. He has always been impressed with the hunting breeds and their desire to seek out game. More impressive to him is the relationship that develops between a trainer and his hunting companion. To see the willingness to please in a dog’s eye and the sheer enjoyment they have when they begin to understand what it is being asked of them is truly indescribable.
“I have been blessed in my life with the opportunities to train with some truly great trainers. I enjoy passing what I have learned along to both dogs and owners. Being a great trainer is certainly a goal of mine and it is that goal that keeps me going day in and day out. No two dogs are trained the same. I am always changing how I do things and how I present certain tasks to each dog. I feel this is what makes a great trainer. You need to be able to be flexible, patient and understanding during the entire training process. By doing this I am able to train dogs quicker and they maintain a positive attitude which is essential to the training process.”
Tifanee Spradley
Tifanee is a huge part of Cabin Creek Gundogs. Growing up on the family ranch she learned at a young age how to deal with all sorts of animals. It is this understanding that allows her to contribute so much to our training program.
Tifanee is responsible for socializing all of our puppies as well as basic obedience and other tasks as needed. She is quick to encourage and slow to discipline our young prospects which makes training them later on much more enjoyable. Our young dogs needs need to understand that learning is fun and that the more they learn from us the more fun they will have. It is this quality that makes Tifanee such an invaluable part of the Cabin Creek team.
