Conservation of harvested game is improved when hunters use well trained hunting dogs. Organized dog training groups meet from April through August when some of our members come together to train their pointers, flushers and retrievers. The training is tailored for dogs and handlers of all skill levels and abilities. Experienced dog handlers are available to mentor less experience handlers as requested.

See the club calendar for meeting times.

All members who participate in dog training on club property must adhere to Key Cities Conservation Club Dog Training Participation Rules, Etiquette & Safety Policy.

The taking of domesticated/game farm birds (this includes ducks, chukar, pheasants, quail, etc. but NOT pigeons) using live ammunition on private property to train dogs requires DNR approval of a Special Permit to Train Hunting Dogs Afield.  All members that are using domesticated/game farm birds must have a DNR approved Special Permit to Train Hunting Dogs Afield and be able to produce it for a conservation officer if requested to do so.  However, each year, Key Cities Conservation Club applies for an Organization Special Permit that allows its members to attend training days, as indicated on the club calendar, and to take domesticated/game farm birds using live ammunition without the individual requiring their own special permit. The Organization Special Permit is displayed in the kiosk near the rifle range.

All members shall be responsible to pickup all garbage. This includes the pickup of shotshell casings and all used birds.BIRD CARCASSES SHALL NOT BE DISPOSED OF ON THE CLUB'S PROPERTY.
