Zion Kennels - Professional Retriever Training for Waterfowl and AKC Field Trials and Hunt Tests

Eddie and his entire team did a great job with my lab. They are all very kind, caring, fair, honest and knowledgeable, and fun to be around. He helped me through some fear issues with my dog, and did an excellent job of breaking down concepts and creating realistic hunting scenarios. He was fair in training and teaching dogs new skills at a good pace. He explained things very well and I felt confident in my dog’s ability after picking her up. I am very picky about who I leave my dogs with but definitely recommend them! I also appreciate that I was allowed to visit whenever I wanted. I got to come train and see her progress throughout the whole process. He also sent me videos and updates which I really appreciated. My dog was always excited to go there and was so happy whenever I went to check on her!

I took both of my labs there for ,1 summer tune up and the other to train. The older dog needed to lose weight and boy did he. I thought it was from training and left my 5 month old pup for training when I picked up the older dog. When I went back after 3 1/2 months it was a horrible sit. My pup was skin and bones. Also no training. I think he was just left in a kennel to starve. My vet told me that he was in starvation mold. He looked like a dog on a tv commercial. I have reported him to the spca,akc,and united kennels. Do not carry your dog to this man. Your are just wasting you money. In 3 1/2 months of growth period of my pup he gained a total of 6 lbs. Eddie needs to be put out of business.

We took our Retriever to be trained and he was there for 2 months every time I texted him he never replayed I asked for photos videos of him. Never once did I receive a message from him. I asked him how he was doing never did text me back! So I went down there and picked him up cause I was fed up and we’ve taken him out to run see if anything been worked on, nope. Very disappointed in this training I feel like we could have taken him to a better place and got our money’s worth. I would NOT recommend on bringing your dog out here. He treated me like I was a child and he wasn’t very responsible with my dog. My dog came back very unhealthy looking. I wouldn’t waste my time here.
