I can't say enough good things about Abe and Melissa Turner of Oakborn Kennels. From the very first conversation, it was clear they are not only incredibly knowledgeable about dogs but also deeply passionate about what they do. Their understanding of canine behavior, training techniques, and overall care is second to none. Whether it's basic obedience for a family companion or advanced gundog training for serious hunting work, Abe and Melissa tailor their approach to the individual dog's needs and personality. They have a remarkable ability to bring out the best in every dog, and their patience, consistency, and clear communication make the training process both effective and enjoyable. read more

Only place we will take our GSP for boarding. We purchased their on and off leash obedience training and within 4 weeks, our dog was well behaved, not jumping as much, and a blessing to our family. We can't thank Abe and Melissa enough for their work. If you are looking for boarding in South Boston VA area, this is the only place to check out. Dogs boarded are in a temp maintained area, get plenty of excersize, and are overly loved! read more
