Out in the beautiful countryside of Nebraska with Jim Helm and Point Doctor

Innishfree Labs highly recommends Pointing Labrador Retriver Master Pro-Trainer Jim Helm "JimSaNik" for all of your hunting dog training needs.

Jim is located about eight miles northwest of Ord Nebraska where along with his wife Sandra, and her son, Nick they raise and train bird dogs. Training dogs for other people is their main business. A dog that Jim has started will point and has gone through his command-retrieve training. Nick plays an intrigal part in the training process and they attribute their modest success to the fact that they won't sell anything they wouldn't keep.

Jim is well respected for his innovative training techniques that turn out happier and faster trained dogs. One is the Helm Hole, a new training approach for an on-the-level command retrieve that also utilizes a variation of the "nerve hitch".

Jim comes from Kentucky and has had a life long love of dogs. He has worked hard on his ability to train them over the past 40 years - 30 of them professionally. Jim has worn many other hats in his lifetime, from helicopter pilot in Viet Nam, to chef, to newspaperman. He is also a recovering alcoholic for over 17 years and this has been a significant influence in his life and work.

People from all over the United States bring their dogs to the Helms to train. Nancy Lopez, Ray Knight, Larry Mueller and Don Marshall of SunSource Corporation are just a few of the well-known people to visit the Helms in Ord, NE. Magazines such as Outdoor Life, Quail Unlimited, Dove Hunters Magazine and The Pointing Dog Journal have featured articles about the Helm's training facility and their remarkable dogs.

The folks at Innisfree join the many others that have found Jim, Sandy and Nik to be an invaluable resources for all of their training and pointing labrador needs and believe that you will too.
