I can’t say enough about Todd and old Salem kennels. We took our 24 week old puppy, Penny, to do the four weeks of board and training, and we are so pleased with the results. First, This isn’t a puppy mill. Your dog is known and cared for personally. Second, Todd was so knowledgeable and patient. He was training us as much as he was training the dog. Third, Todd focused on foundational things that build obedience – not little tricks. Penny’s Been back home for about a month now – and we feel equipped to continue the training that Todd started. So happy we made this decision.
Old Salem Kennels and Todd are the best around! He is always so responsive and truly cares. We have been using him for training and boarding for a year and won’t look anywhere else. Also, read his book if you have the chance!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow—just wow. We had the best experience with Todd today. He was genuine, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable during our training session with our new dog. He used his past experience to connect with what he was teaching in the moment and clearly explained the “why” behind everything. We learned so much and felt confident moving forward. I will definitely recommend him to anyone who will listen. Thank you again, Todd!
I was a vet tech for years, and Todd is the only person I trust to care for my dog. Selfishly I want him all to my self, but I would recommend his pet sitting services to anyone. He is responsible, caring, and easy to communicate with.
