Geronimo Kennels

We took home one of Geronimo's toller pups in February and we can't say enough good things about Kelly. We had multiple conversations about her dogs and our wants and lifestyle, and ultimately paired us perfectly with our sweet Willa. She extended an open invite to meet the pups once they were old enough, and when we picked her up, we were able to meet and play with both the mom and dad of the litter as both dogs belonged to Geronimo. Willa is our first dog and first toller, and Kelly took the time to walk us through what we needed to know, answer any questions, and sent us home with a slip lead and a couple toys that smelled like home. She also provided us with the puppy's microchip and AKC registration. Kelly also exposed the puppies to children, a leash, and handling of the ears/feet/eyes prior to our arrival. Throughout the first 8 weeks, she posts livestreams where you can get to know the litter and see their personalities. The "purple" puppy stood out to us as the right temperament and sure enough, that's which pup Kelly picked for us. We wanted a family dog and live in a city, and after 5 weeks our puppy loves her cuddles and is well adjusted to all the sights and sounds. Kelly also began crate-training before we picked the puppy up, and after just a week she was sleeping through the night and taking long naps / breaks in her crate without any crying or whining. Tollers are an incredible breed and Geronimo Kennels continues to do right by them.

We were referred to Kelly by a colleague and decided to train here after multiple failed (and expensive) attempts with other trainers in our area. Our 2 year old 120lb Rottweiler had severe motion/sound reactivity making it impossible to walk him in our neighborhood due to the fear of him attacking literally anything and injuring either himself, us or others. After 4-6 weeks of consistent boarding and training with Kelly, I am amazed by his transformation. All our concerns were addressed both indoor and outdoor and I couldn't feel more at ease and confident when walking him outside now. This has made such a huge difference in our home! Thank you Kelly for all your hard work and commitment to Oryx! We can't wait to board him and continue training in the future! I cannot recommend Kelly and Geronimo Kennels enough!
