Bird Dog Training Community

A community to help you learn about and train your dog for hunt tests and field trials.

This is a space for people who are serious about making progress with their dogs—whether you’re working with me through coaching or in-person training, or you’re figuring it out on your own and want a place to learn alongside others on the same path.

Inside, you can share your training (good and bad!), ask questions, and get feedback without the pressure of posting on public social media. From early foundation work to advanced steadiness and retrieving, this community is here to support you.

I’m Terry Ann, the human behind Accidental Bird Dog. I know how overwhelming it can feel to piece together training information as well as get questions answered about specific tests and trials, especially when you’re new to the bird dog world.
