Why Thibodaux

A Thibodaux kennel that knows the hunting.

TIMCO Kennels trains out of 619 Hwy 308, Thibodaux — close enough that you can see the runs and the routine, and hunt the same country your dog learns on.

01

Built for Bayou Region hunting

Thibodaux dogs hunt flooded timber, marsh, and rice cuts — not a training field with clipped grass. We run marks, blinds, and water work on the kind of rural ground a Lafourche dog actually hunts, so what they learn holds up come opening day.

02

Local — same parish, same kennel

Our kennel is right here on 619 Hwy 308 in Thibodaux. Drop-off and pick-up are easy, and you can come see the runs and the routine before you ever leave your dog. No shipping a dog across the country to a name you found online.

03

Consistent, start to finish

Your dog is not passed around. The same hands-on approach that starts them on obedience finishes them on blinds — the consistency a dog needs to actually retain the work over a months-long program.

04

Honest about your dog

We tell you where your dog realistically is and how far they can go on your timeline. If they need more foundation before field work, we say so up front — you get a straight answer, not a sales pitch.

FAQ

Thibodaux, LA questions, answered.

Do you train gun dogs for hunters around Thibodaux?
Yes — that's the core of what TIMCO Kennels does. We're a board-and-train in Thibodaux (Lafourche Parish) for Labs and retrievers, taking dogs from basic obedience through advanced retriever work for waterfowl and upland hunters.
How long is the program?
Programs run 3 to 9 months depending on the dog, where they're starting, and how far you want to take them. Basic obedience is shorter; full advanced retriever with steady-to-shot and blind work takes longer. We give an honest estimate after we evaluate your dog.
What kind of dogs do you take?
Labradors and retriever breeds, set up specifically for gun-dog and waterfowl work. We can talk through other retrieving breeds case by case. We don’t do protection, agility, or pet-only obedience.
Do you breed or sell puppies?
No. TIMCO Kennels is strictly board-and-train — we don’t breed or sell pups. If you’re still sourcing a dog, we’re glad to talk through what to look for in a retriever prospect.
Can I visit the kennel in Thibodaux first?
Yes. Drop-offs, pick-ups, and visits are by appointment at 619 Hwy 308, Thibodaux. Reach out and we'll set up a time to walk you through the runs and the program.
