From the very beginning our goal has been to operate a first class, high quality breeding and training program. Good Go Ing is a full time, professional sporting dog business that is owned and operated by the Gooding family. We personally care for all aspects of the operation. Errol Gooding began raising Labradors in 1966. With over 40 years experience in raising and training sporting dogs we have the expertise to provide you with a great hunting companion. With the tremendous amount of experience we have had in professional dog training, we are able to objectively evaluate our litters and prospective breeding stock. Only the dogs that pass our standards for natural hunting ability, physical soundness, temperament and conformation are bred.
Errol Gooding: Flushing dogs can be hunted with pointing dogs providing they are trained to sit and honor the point.

At Good Go Ing Training Center we are looking forward to another very successful training season. From the very beginning our goal has been to operate a first class, high quality sporting dog training facility. Good Go Ing is a full time, professional sporting dog business. Our approach has always been to tell people what we can do and how we do it. We will give you all the information we can about our services. From there we feel our reputation and the many important aspects of dog training and care we offer will sell themselves.

GOOD GO ING SHADOW

The Labrador is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a versatile sporting dog and an excellent companion. They are good upland flushing dogs and are the best retrievers on land and water. A well bred Labrador has a strong drive for birds and for retrieving, and is evident at a very young age. They are also a joy to train to be obedient around the house or afield.

 

 

GOODGOING WABASHA “CHIEF”

An English Setter is an excellent choice for anyone looking for the ultimate pointing dog and an excellent companion. They were a trained bird dog in England over 400 years ago. As one of the oldest and most popular sporting breeds their reputation as a top gun dog companion is well established throughout history. A well bred setter has a strong drive for bird work, this is evident at a very young age. They are also a joy to train to be well-mannered around the house or afield.

 

 

ELHEW POWER STROKE

Elhew bred English Pointers are sensible, easy handling bird dogs. They are bred for trainability and can be developed into finished shooting dogs at an early age. We have hunted them in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Montana, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota. They work well on grouse, woodcock, pheasants, sharptailed grouse, hungarian partridge and quail. They adapt well to different types of birds and terrain.

THE HUNTING SEASON IS JUST BEGINNING!!!

winter outing at Good Go Ing.

“For a lot of folks the Holiday Season spells the end of Bird Hunting Season.  It gets cold.  The snow accumulates.  Pheasant and grouse seasons close throughout the Midwestern states.  Nothing to do but give the dogs the next 9 or 10 months off and take up other Winter activities.  Not so fast, here.”  

Winter hunting is a great outdoor activity to enjoy with your family, friends and sporting dogs.
