My husband's dog is amazing. We are delighted Dave cares about the breeding and well being of his animals. Our dog goes to Dave for training also. We highly recommend Dave!

Highly recommend Cedar Valley Canine. Dave Taylor is awesome, very knowledgeable and goes out of his way to help! We did the 2 week puppy obidience training program and it was amazing. He has a lot of experience with German Shepard’s and it really shows in the training. Highly recommend.
Dave and his team are great and would recommend them to anyone for training and a breeder.

Dave and his team are great and would recommend them to anyone for training and a breeder. We drove all the way down to Tennessee to pick out our puppy and then left her in Dave's care for a month for basic training and to get her around others dogs, cats, kids and farm animals. We picked her up a month later and spent two days with Dave so he could train us. Well our puppy is 16 weeks now and is doing great.

WOULD NOT RECCOMMEND. my dog was not well trained. They offered to have him come back but if I wasn’t sarisfied after 3 weeks of training I don’t want to bring him back. I recommend using offleash k9 training. This is only 2 weeks long and the dog comes back 100% trained. And they also have the dog live in the house not outside like cedar valley. was not pleased and will not send business their way. we wanted our dog trained in German and the guy said “oops” when he found out. We asked for updates and got an emoji thumbs up. Business is not professional.
