I have purchased both of my dogs from Dustin really all three but one has since passed they are wonderful. They did a great job training my dogs. Every time I need to board them. They are more than accommodating. They love having our dogs when one of our dogs had a birthday they even took our dog to a special park and gave him a doggy birthday cake. But they’re always friendly, accommodating, easy to deal with never had any issues would recommend them strongly to anybody looking to purchase a new dog or to board their dog or have their dog trained Where

On my second Dustin Retriever. First was a female Chessie. Totally destroyed the Chessie stereotype. The kids in the neighborhood would ask if she could come out and play. Second pup is a fox red male lab, loves to work and has a high prey drive. Best off switch of any lab I have ever owned. First Pheasant retrieve at about 8 months old. The dogs are great the people are even better. If you want a good retriever this is the place.

Amazing people and an amazing experience! I boarded my dog, Moose, and he absolutely loved it. The property is beautiful with great views, and it’s clear that everyone there truly cares for and loves the dogs they work with. I highly recommend this place for both boarding and training — your dog will be in great hands!

Great experience here!
I took my puppy Lucky (he was a little over a year old at the time I believe) to them for training and couldn't have been more pleased.
First of all they clean the kennels twice a day for maximum cleanliness for the dogs, which was a big selling point for me. Lucky is a super friendly boy but is definitely skiddish around people at first, but he warmed up to Shaun and Melissa SUPER quickly (to the point where he was at the side every chance he got to be) and when training was over he was a more composed version of my sweet boy.
But I'd have to say my favorite part is that it's family run, and they have kids who assist them from time to time. So not only do the dogs get lots of socialization, but I'm always in support of locally/family run businesses.
I've even come back for boarding a couple of times while out of town, too! I definitely recommend these guys!
