When my dog Harper became gun shy I felt so disappointed and knew I needed to seek professional…read morehelp in order to help her succeed in becoming the best hunting companion she could be. I spoke to Pete on the phone and decided to come out and meet him and see his facility. Pete's facility is the most professional set up I have seen. Kennels were clean and the knowledge that Pete has made me feel at ease leaving my girl behind with him. He truly loves what he does and cares for the dogs he takes in. Pete was honest with me in the fact that my dog lacked drive to be a motivated gun dog so I made the decision to bring her home after 1 month. In the 1 month she stayed to train at Goosebusters she was no longer gun shy and also would pick up live birds which I can continue to work with her on. Most importantly, my dog was happy, healthy and in good spirits when I came to see her. I would leave any of my dogs with Pete which says a lot, I am completely obsessed with my dogs and 100% trust Pete with providing them proper care. I am more educated on how to choose the best potential gun dog and will continue to work with him in the future for training any dogs I have. I can't say enough good things about Goosebusters.

We looked at facilities and spoke with many trainers. After speaking with Pete on the phone and…read morethen meeting him in person, we left confident we were done looking. Honest, clean kennels and excellent in what he does. He explains what we need to do to with her in a way that made sense. Pete has Lola where she needs to be and gave us the confidence we can achieve the same results with consistency and the knowledge he has provided. We will use him for all training and all boarding. I have never boarded my dogs anywhere and we have complete confidence in Pete and Jolie. If you are looking for a trainer or a place to kennel, I can not say enough great words about them. (I'm not a big reviewer, but after our experience it was a must.) After a call, I'm sure you will feel the way we did. Thank you guys so much.

1,000 times over, I will recommend Scotch Pines!!! April Jantz is AMAZING!!! When I adopted a puppy…read morefor all of two days, I reached out to her desperate at like 10 pm. I got a text notification that I should look at the website and was bummed but also glad for clear direction. I went there, saw a 1 day puppy training course and texted to sign up. I got an automated reply saying she was out of town starting that next morning and for the weekend. On a whim and because I was desperate (think newborn baby and no sleep and panic...that's how I was feeling), I texted back a question. Guess what!!!! She replied! At what was now 11 pm, she sent me resources, encouragement and wisdom! And she assured me she'd get me in as soon as she was home!!! I was (and am) BEYOND impressed by her care for me, the puppy and excellent customer service!!! I got her name with glowing recommendations from my friend Amy and now I'll add mine!!! Even though I realized it's not the right time for a puppy in my home, I will 100% use Julie at Scotch Pines when I DO get a dog and I will recommend her every opportunity I get!!!! Go there! You will be so glad you did!!!!

Our 2 year-old Golden Retriever had been exhibiting increasing levels of anxiety, fear and…read morereluctance at the very notion of entering our vehicle for pretty much her whole life. After having some extensive - and themselves very helpful and supportive - text message communications with April, we had her come over this morning to see how she could help us with this issue, particularly important and urgent as we've just recently embarked upon a 7 month family road-trip! April gave us several excellent pointers and examples how we could gradually begin to reshape our dog's phobia - about getting into our SUV - and, much to our amazement and joy, after only 25-30 minutes of direct training (of my wife and I!,) our beloved Golden was not only inside our car but she was laying calmly and seemingly even contentedly being there! THANK YOU, April - we TRULY appreciated your coaching and we'll diligently continue implementing the helpful techniques you opened our eyes to!!
