Trust me, we didn't train our fist two dogs much at all and we paid for it. I agree with the other review that says class starts on time. There is no wasting time, you get down to work and you learn really valuable techniques. They give you the information and tools you need to shape a great relationship with your dog. Make sure you do your training between classes or there's no point in signing up. Soon we will be bringing our second puppy to train there and we are really looking forward to it.

Be sure to arrive at class on time because they start promptly! I tend to be a person who arrives right at start time, and I don't even have a chance to sit down before class gets started. It's essential to do the homework between classes; daily repetition of the skills really helps.

We purchased both of our labs from Jeff La Tour at Elk River Kennels and they are the best dogs…read more Also, he trained both of them for hunting and retrieving and basic obedience; both are wonderfully trained. On Oct. 1, 2020, Erin DeMars made FALSE allegations of abuse against La Tour and Elk River Kennels. She stated that her bulldog Olive had blood all over it and was bleeding when she picked it up. In Nov. 2020, a district court Judge determined that DeMars' statements were fabricated and grossly exaggerated. The judge issued a restraining order against Erin DeMars to stop her defamation against the La Tours and their business, Elk River Kennels. Be sure that this is a very reputable dog trainer and your dog will be well cared for while staying at Elk River Kennels. We board our dogs here too when we go on vacation and they've never had any issues.

I brought my elderly dog in for a 4th of July visit. It was supposed to be a 4 day stay. I…read moreexplained to the attendant that he was having incontinence issues, and I was told not to worry, that he would be well cared for. I asked about extra services and was told that since it was going to be such a busy weekend that he wouldn't need anything, and she talked me out of the extras. When I picked him up, I was shocked at how badly he smelled of urine. There is no doubt that they just left him to lay in his own urine the whole time I was gone. The smell was so bad that I had to drive home with the windows down and then took him straight into the shower when we arrived. I don't know if he got any attention or if he was actually let out at all. The urine smell suggests that he wasn't. They could have done so much better. I would not recommend that anyone leave their pets here.

On command. Every time. Absolutely night and day difference. Before I took him back home today, I spent almost 2 hours at their facility learning the techniques so I can maintain and continue the training. I had also boarded him there for a long weekend prior to the 30 day training, everything went great. I would, and will definitely recommend these guys. I have ZERO trust issues with leaving our dog here. We are looking forward to the next 30 day session. Thanks to everyone that spent time with Onyx.

We waited for over 30 minutes to get some help with purchasing the parakeets. There was only three…read morepeople working when they first opened up. This was a Thursday morning. One lady was at the register, another stocking shelves and the third missing. I went to the lady at the register and asked for help, she made an announcement. We waited and waited, then another lady came to relieve the lady at the register and started doing paperwork. I had to go up again and ask for help. She came a few minutes later to get the birds out of their cage. But I could tell she was not very pleased at me calling attention to their delay. The First Lady came by to apologize and said she needed to go to the restroom. I respect that and understand but I do not appreciate the attitude the other worker displayed. She even grabbed the bird roughly with her hands, I thought a net should have been used. It was just her whole persona was a bit off. My girls have waited years to get these birds, they saved their hard earned money to buy them. It makes me sad that we were treated with a bit of contempt because of the lack of priority that customers apparently have here. The paperwork could have waited young lady. Customers should have been helped first.
