About Us

Dakota Mealer

At an early age, I was introduced to the outdoors. Spending time with family and friends,

along with great dogs, lit a fire in me which still burns today. From the moment I first watched a

dog perform its work, I have been consumed with what it takes for a handler and their dog to

complete a task together. This love for dogs and dog handling led me to train, and compete

with, field trial dogs for the last decade. Nothing is more exciting than competing against the

best dogs in the toughest situations someone can put them in. While the competition and work

in the field trial arena took me across the country, competing against the best dogs our country

has to offer, there came a time I felt the pull to return to my roots. At that point, I decided to

focus exclusively on the gun dog and family dog. While my experience competing in field trials

was a great one, this return to what originally sparked my love for dogs has been very fulfilling.


I am originally from Adairsville, GA and moved to Auburn, AL over 10 years ago. My

wife, Kristin, and I live in Auburn with our two children, Corbin and Collins. When we are not

working on the family business, I enjoy coaching Corbin in baseball and football, duck hunting,

and fishing. When she is not chasing kids, Kristin can be found in the spring time woods chasing

turkeys, an obsession she has had since she was a little girl. We appreciate every opportunity

we are given to train a member of your family. Our goal is to love them and train them like our

own while they are with us, and return them to you as the best version they can possibly be.
