About Layton Retriever Kennels

We specialize in professional waterfowl/upland retriever training and AKC hunt tests. Each dog receives an individualized training program designed for their skill level. Our facility also offers clean spacious kennels, and plenty of space for dogs to work and play. Since each dog learns at their own pace, training involves much time and repetition and there is no definite timetable for completion. We recommend leaving your dog with us between 3-5 months and will communicate regularly regarding their progress. We also encourage a tune-up for a month before hunting season to continue your dog’s development.

Greg and Brenda were a pleasure to work with over the three months our pup was there. Greg had us out to the property to see the kennels, pond, and field ahead of our commitment- all of which were in great condition, providing ample space for the dogs to enjoy themselves and train effectively. Each time we visited our dog we could tell that she was INCREDIBLY happy and healthy, and had developed a strong bond with Greg and Brenda. Training sessions at the property and off-site were convenient and productive. Near the end of our pup's training she entered her first heat cycle and was sent home early. Greg called us as soon as he noticed the change and coordinated pick-up. Being that her time was cut short, Greg suggested bringing her back in for a tune-up at no charge to make up for the credited time she missed out on and has been flexible/accommodating in regards to rescheduling her tune-up. Since bringing our dog home, she has transitioned seamlessly to my personal command, displaying all of the learnings/training acquired during her time with Greg and Brenda. It's wildly apparent that their training style allows for the dog to maintain a high level of fun and enjoyment in its purpose as a working dog. I've since had the time to hunt 10-15 days over this dog already, and couldn't be happier with where she's at for just a year old. Excited to see what the future holds for her, and will certainly be using Layton Retrievers again.

My mom has a GSP that she thought she'd have to re-home as at her age an unruly dog was a lot BUT at the 1 month check in at Layton I truly thought I was watching a different dog!...The change in behavior after 1 month was absolutely remarkable!! Layton Retriever Kennels brings the impossible to reality!! I would give 10 stars if possible....WOW 🌟

We loved working with Greg. We weren’t sure Gru had what it takes to be a duck dog but after Duck Dog Bootcamp we have a hunting dog! Gru was well taken care of during his time at Layton which made it easier for us to be away from him. We will recommend Greg and Brenda to everyone we know.

Greg and his staff are awesome! We enrolled our 18 month old black lab named “Chilli” in Layton Retrievers “duck dog” boot camp! All I can say is “WOW”!! Absolutely impressed with how far our dog has come in just a few months. Really looking forward to hunting her in the very near future! Thank you Greg, and Layton Retrievers, for working with our young Labrador. Sincerely, Adrian
