Cannon River Kennels

I had given Jason a deposit for my dog to go to a six week training at cannon River kennels. We decided to follow our gut and not send our dog here do to him only needing work on not pulling on the leash. I called several times to cancel and was unable to reach anyone. Finally spoke with someone and they hung up on me after me saying we decided to not attend. The next day I received a call from Jason and he was very rude. Would not let me talk would talk over me and not listen to anything I had to say. When I told him I needed to do what I needed to do ( what was best for my dog and family)… he interrupted me by yelling are you threatening me?! But if he would have just listened to me maybe he would have under stood.

I sent my GSP there for the 2 week bird and gun program. Honestly pretty disappointed with their work. I had high hopes for them and I had heard good things from a friend. It didn’t really seem like they put a ton of effort into my dog. They tried to get me to leave my dog there for an extra week. When I said no, they called me the day before I was supposed to pick her up and said the “had a big breakthrough”. Just seems like they are trying to get more money out of me. My dog came back with some cuts on her face and paws. Also all the calluses on her paws were gone. She is also considerably skinnier than when she left. Jason was fine when I talked to him over the phone. But in person he was very unprofessional. My girlfriend was there when we picked up the dog and he said some pretty unsa

Have had my dog there for boarding and training programs. The last training program Jason and JJ went above and beyond to make sure my dog Braun finished to their standard of quality. They kept him an extra 3 weeks at no additional charge to get him there. He came back exceeding expectations! Looking forward to many seasons hunting behind him.

We brought our 7 month old lab there for 6 days. Our dog had a large open wound on her neck when we picked her up. With the understanding that things happen, we respectfully asked if they were aware and if they knew what occurred. The owner Jason was defensive, rude and said "dont ever bring you dog back" and hung up. We were dumbfounded with the bazare response.

I have had three dogs trained for behavior by Cannon River over the past 17 years. In each and every case, the results were nothing short of incredible. My more mature puppies (eight-to-ten-months old) that were uncontrollable and rambunctious turned into wonderfully obedient and lovable pets. While some people shun the idea of correction and shock collars as "mean" or insensitive, my experience is that the dog comes back a better companion with training that lasts their lifetime. I've tried the "treats" method of training and it does not result in any benefit or improvement. If you want a dog that respects and is a great companion for you and your family, you cannot find a better, more thorough trainer. The end result and transformation is simply incredible. Craig
