Webfoot Retrievers retriever training kennel

I have an English Cocker Spaniel who spent a couple of months with Ray at Webfoot Retrievers and my experience was absolutely fantastic. Prior to being with Ray, my ~1 year-old puppy was very difficult to manage. She would demand bark, lacked general obedience and was a source of stress for our family. Ray transformed our puppy into an obedient, fun family member who listens and behaves, but still retains her same energetic personality. Our puppy now walks on heel (with and without a leash), obeys commands, and no longer demand barks. It is truly amazing what Ray accomplished in just a short period of time. Ray accomplished this because he takes a very scientific approach to dog training. He understands dogs and how their brains operate and tailors his training to dogs’ individual needs - no two dogs are the same. Importantly, the dogs love Ray. On our last training session, my dog was sitting on his knee wagging happily! Ray was always communicative, clear and transparent with me. He invested time in my dog and in me — he made me a better owner through our training sessions and was always very generous with his time. I know he did this because he knew it was important for my dog and it would help her to have a better life if I knew what to do. Ray is an absolute expert. He loves dogs and they love him. I highly recommend him.

Ray did a fantastic job with my two male littermate labs on obedience training. They became too much for me to handle by myself as they got bigger and started listening to me less and less especially when I would give a command to both of them together. When I brought them to Ray they barked all night long, were impossible to walk on a leash, and didn’t stay or come when called. I picked up two completely different dogs. They are quiet on command, heel and walk on a leash like champs, and sprint back to me when I call them. I can now walk them around my property with confidence that they won’t go further than 30 yards off leash. I cannot express my gratitude towards Ray and would suggest him for any obedience issue. He knows dogs like the back of his hand and helped me understand how to communicate with them better as well. On a last note, when you send your dogs to him, you can tell they become part of the family at his house. My dogs adored him. Thank you so much, Ray, for all of your hard work!!

If you value the life of your pet do not use Ray Godwin’s service. He had my dog 3 days and was killed (so he says) by something unknown. I paid 1 month in advance with no refund and paid over 2k for my Boykin that he said he would repay. Not to mention that I had to tell my son on his birthday that his dog was killed in this man’s possession. It’s been over a year now and have not heard a word and come to find out his company is not even a legit business. Apparently this is not the first time an animal has died in his care but he told me he has never dealt with a situation like this. He has other judgements against him that are not settled. LIAR! This man is a crook with no integrity in his body or soul. Look for another trainer!
