Cottonwood Retrievers taught our wild puppy obedience while developing his natural talents as a retriever. I have never seen a dog so happy doing what he was born to do. They turned our pup into an amazing athlete that has the social skills needed to be a good family dog.

Had amazing training day at Cottonwood Retrievers yesterday. Jake and Christy did an amazing job.
Cottonwood Retrievers - Probably the Best Trainers in the Treasure Vally. Knowledgeable, honest, and will take care of you dog like it is their own. Cottonwood Retrievers is probably the best in Treasure Vally and most likely the state of Idaho.

Cottonwood Retrievers has been great to work with! Jake really knows what he’s doing when it comes to training. The dogs aren’t just left outside but actually have their own building! We are confident that our dog is in the best hands and is being well cared for during his training. Jake is also very good at keeping us updated through phone calls and pictures. We highly recommend Cottonwood Retrievers!
Jake is an outstanding trainer. Cares about all the handlers and more importantly the dogs. One of the best trainers in our area.
