01
Basic Obedience
Sit, stay, here, kennel, place, heel, and off-lead control. The obedience every working dog needs locked in before any field work begins — calm, steady, and listening.

Crew + Equipment
The Program
Three stages. One finished dog.
The board-and-train moves through three stages — start to finish, on a 3 to 9 months program depending on the dog and the goal.
02
Basic Retriever
Force fetch, marks, delivery to hand, and steadiness. We turn a willing dog into a reliable retriever that picks up, holds, and brings it back clean — on land and in the water.
03
Advanced Retriever
Hand signals, blind retrieves, multiple marks, and duck-blind etiquette. The polish that makes a dog steady to shot, patient in the blind, and a real partner come the season.
The Facility
10 runs. One Thibodaux HQ.
Your dog boards and trains at our 619 Hwy 308 headquarters — the same property where the crew is on site every day. Daily field and water work on rural ground nearby, not a back-yard hobby setup. Drop-offs and pick-ups by appointment.
The Dogs

Real dogs, real field work. Bayou Region, Louisiana.
About TIMCO Kennels
Hands-on training. Every day.
TIMCO Kennels is owned by Timothy Caillouet out of Thibodaux — a board-and-train built for hunters and gun-dog owners who want a finished retriever, not a weekend obedience class.
Every dog gets consistent, hands-on training start to finish. We don't breed or sell pups — we take the dog you already love and turn them into a partner you can run in the field and the blind.
Where Dogs Come From
Based in Thibodaux. Dogs come in from across Louisiana.
