Layton Retriever Kennels

Gregg and his team are unbelievable at what they do. We could not be happier with the training and care our puppy Buoy had this season. Buoy is a serious hunter when she is out and is still our sweet domesticatwd pup when she is back home. We are beyond impressed with the skills she has after taking her out hunting, and we look forward to bringing her back next fall for a tune-up. Gregg feels like a forever part of our life now, and we feel so blessed to have had such an amazing person available to help guide our dog Buoy to be a bird dog. Buoy definitely was living her best life out there.

Wow where do we start? Prior to moving back to Oregon, we had several conversations with Greg to take our pudelpointer puppy to training. Through these conversations, Greg was calm, kind and acknowledged my concerns and questions that we had. Never having a hunting dog before, there were a lot of questions we had! We are grateful we chose and were accepted to have Kodiak train with Greg and his team. From the initial visit to the training facility, numerous messages and calls, to picking Kodiak up to come home after 4 months, we would not change a thing! Kodiak did both obedience and duck hunting training, which we would highly suggest! Thank you Greg and team for everything!

Greg and his team truly exceeded my expectations. Their expertise and patience were evident from our first session. They tailored the training to my dog’s unique temperament, ensuring a positive experience that kept both of us engaged. Gregs clear communication and effective techniques resulted in noticeable improvements in my dog’s obedience and hunting skills. I highly recommend Layton Retrievers to anyone looking to enhance their hunting dog’s performance

I highly recommend Layton Retrievers whether you are looking for basic obedience or wanting to get your dog trained for hunting. We sent our dog there for 3-months to do the Duck Dog Bootcamp and it was amazing. Our dog came back so well behaved and wanting to show off his skills to us. Greg and his staff really take care of the dogs. Our dog had some stomach issues and Greg noticed right away and notified us we should take him to the vet. Our dog had to stay home for a couple weeks to heal and Greg never gave his spot up. Greg also checked on Case(our dog) while he was away from school. You can tell Greg and his staff work the dogs to a perfect level! Our dog came back with the same energy and wasn't overworked. Greg and his team make it to where the dogs are willing to work hard unlike other places that force it. The field days where awesome because we got to learn hands on training from Greg himself. The property is beautiful and the kennels are very clean.
