Questions & answers

What people have asked about this business.

When is your next session? And how much?

If you want to have your dog trained, contact the owner, the important thing to remember is make reservations now for fall. He is extremely busy and has limited space. He has different options available for training such as obedience training or for hunting. Dogs stay with him uninterrupted for 3 weeks. He does use a correction device to aid in training. I hope this helps with your decision. He can tell you how much he charges, he is substantially less then other trainers.

Rob is the best trainer / boarding facility I’ve ever experienced and I raised Corgies for 30 Yrs and know how dogs need to be treated and he goes above and beyond to treat them right. My dogs absolutely love him along with my parents dog Mack! I work at a dog grooming facility and I know what it’s like to get all types of dogs and handle them lovingly and respectfully as well have them love and respect us. Rob does this at his facility to the up most. I also trained horses all of my life and know it’s hard to fit every animal and every owner. But honest hard working people like us do the best we can to accommodate everyone and their fur baby’s to the best of our abilities!! Rob absolutely does all of this and more!! Thank u Rob!!!

Rob trained our large Cane Corso last year, and has opened the kennel to her again, last minute. Aurora is a tough dog, and lights up when she gets close to his facility. She is beyond well cared for, and so loved. She learned to respect each member of the family, and the place she lives in. He took the time to show my 7 and 4 year old how to train her. That doesn’t happen at most places. Grateful to Rob and his staff for taking care of our big baby. Highly recommend for training and boarding.

We purchased our dog from Whitewater Retrievers and use the kennel for boarding. Rob is a great dog person. He is always attentive to our dogs needs and ours. He answers all questions. There is no doubt our Dog is in great hands when we use the kennel. We recommend Rob to all.

Rob has trained and boarded both my male and female labs and he's fantastic! My dogs are so well taken care of and come home happy. They have gone there multiple times and I would highly recommend Rob.

The facility and training were both great. I felt totally comfortable leaving Kenny in Robs hands.
