Retriever Ridge Kennels

After retiring from a 20 year law enforcement career and working with MANY of the best Law Enforcement K9’s I’ve seen what a well trained dog can do with the right training. I met Keith and knew he was a dog trainer and after a few minutes asking him all sorts of questions I knew he was legit and was well versed in his craft. So much so that I took my AKC full blood Belgian Shepherd female named Dolly to him for her E-Collar/ Obedience course. Dolly is an extremely smart and strong willed dog that has that working drive but wanted to always do things her way and many times I felt like she was simply ignoring me. I took my concerns to Keith and he was upfront and honest with me about my expectations and what he believed he could get with the final result of not only working with Dolly, but also with my wife and I as her leaders and family. I was so impressed after I finally got to see and work her after she had been with Keith and his staff!! She was like a new dog when it came to obedience and right then I knew that she understood what I was telling her and what I needed from her and in return Keith taught me what Dolly needed from me. Dolly is so much easier to lead and control and is actually a joy to take out and has started working on becoming a service dog as well. I promise you that you will not be disappointed in Keith, his facility, or his training. NO ONE ELSE I would take my dog to for training. CEO

Keith is the only person that I would select to train my dogs. He has an extensive history as a pro trainer, has been on nationally televised programs running champion dogs, and his knowledge on canine behavior is second to none. He is incredibly knowledgeable about obedience and hunting dog training, and is an excellent teacher. He will answer all questions, no matter how experienced you are with handling your dogs. Keith genuinely cares about the dogs, and he cares about educating people and teaching them about dogs. He runs a very professional operation, his facilities are great and he has access to and trains on beautiful grounds. Whether you are a first time dog owner, or have champion retrievers please do right by your dogs and choose Keith as your trainer!!
