Trainer's Bio

My name is Jerry J. Moll, III. I own and operate Southern Tradition Dog Training Kennels with my wife Dawn, and three children. I am 37 years old and a life long resident of Louisiana. Growing up in the outdoors has been my whole up bringing. My Father raised me to be an outdoor sportsman, taking me on my first duck hunt when I was 3 years old, and have been hunting them ever since. My love for the outdoors has been a great enjoyment with family and friends all of my life.

I started training my first retriever in 1989, and have been working with dogs ever since.
I currently own 4 dogs myself, a 2 yr old Chocolate Labrador, Diva, a 1 yr old Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Sassy, a 1 1/2 yr old Chocolate Labrador, Razz, and a 4 mo. old Chocolate Labrador, Mocha.

I served in the Military for 3 years active duty and 5 years with the Louisiana National Guard. From 1995 - 2008 I was a police officer, 3 of those years were with the K9 Unit.
In 2005 I made the move from part time to full time trainer when we opened Southern Tradition Dog Training Kennels. Specializing in hunting retrievers, and all breed obedience programs.

Over the past 20 years, I immersed myself into learning all I could. I have had the opportunity to train and work with some of the best hunting retriever trainers in the country, Bill Cox (Labradors Unlimited) Valparaiso, Indiana, Chuck Tirrano (ThunderHead Kennels ) Buffalo, New York, Eric Bebe ( Retriever training seminar) British Columbia, and Steve Hendricks ( Hendricks Retrievers ) Katy, Texas, taking a little from each of them to tailor an obedience and hunting retriever program that is highly effective.

All of our dogs are trained in a family environment, results guaranteed!
