Welcome to RED DOG Guide School, A professional training course and educational instruction for big game hunting guides and outfitters. We are based out of the Cariboo/Chilcotin region of British Columbia, and are one of Canada’s only schools of this kind. We are dedicated to training the best guides within the hunting industry today. Our 21 day long course is very comprehensive, covering all aspects of professional game guiding and the skills required to become a top-hand guide. We are committed to those who are driven to becoming top-notch guides; this is not an exploratory vacation for those looking for a bit of outdoor adventure. We deliver a horse-based, hands-on training method to further ensure all graduates are properly educated and have the essential skills needed to be a super guide. Students can expect to spend some time in a classroom setting as well as important time in the field. Our hunting camp is the “real deal”, complete with main lodge and wall tents. Trained guides can expect to make more and be more sought after then untrained guides.
Classes are limited to 10 students per course; this allows us to suitably focus on quality. There is a lot of information that will be covered in a relatively short amount of time, we encourage students to help one another and spend time honing their skills. Upon successful graduation of the course, we will assist the student in job placement.
