Webfoot Retrievers retriever training kennel

Ray Godwin at Webfoot Retrievers is, hands down, the best, most caring and effective trainer with whom I have ever had the pleasure of working. I have taken 3 of my dogs to him and highly recommend him to any dog owner who wants to build a great relationship with a well-behaved dog. He effectively teaches operant conditioning to you as the owner and takes the time to establish and reinforce positive behaviors in your dog. Once he trains the dog, he works with clients to teach them the appropriately interact with their dogs so that they can continue to maintain the training at home. He truly cares about every dog's well being and goes above and beyond the call of most dog trainers to set clients and dogs up for a successful future.

I brought my 1 year old Boykin Spaniel, Jake, to be trained to be a duck dog by Ray when he was about 4 months old. When I dropped him off, he had never been swimming and was very much a Boykin spaniel puppy. The obedience training he received in addition to his retriever training has been excellent. From the first time I met Ray, I could tell he genuinely cared about the dogs in his care. Throughout Jake's time with Ray, I would join in periodic training sessions to help sharpen my skills as a handler and to bond with my dog. In those sessions it was easy to see that Ray was equally invested in the dog's success as well as my own as a handler. While I have no complaints on Jake's retrieving abilities in the field now that I have brought him home, I do plan on bringing Jake back for some maintenance sessions. Jake has been doing an awesome job so far this season and I cannot wait to make a lifetime of memories with him.
