Cross Creek Kennel

I’m having some aggression issues from my dogs. Husband and I found this place and I figured the help we needed would be more than they offered. I reached out for advice and I was told I needed an animal behaviorist. Cool I knew I wasn’t going to get the help I needed. So I decided to ask for recommendations cause we have a child in the home and are desperate for help. They respond no I don’t. Instead of helping or giving advice so I can get on the right path and keep everyone safe, I was just told I don’t know.

In 2010 i purchased my first retriever a Yellow Lab for hunting. I was lucky enough to have him recommended to me. Since then I have had 3 Labs personally with Cross Creek and directed another 6 Labs to them. My 1st Lab was Master and Finished title. When this all began i didn't know anything about the quality of the training my Lab and I were getting. It wasn't until several years of Matt running my 1st lab in HRC/AKC hunt test did i recognize and realize I had the right trainer and training facility. The witnessed a reoccurring event time after time at almost every hunt test my lab was at. I would see other Pro Trainers talk to Matt about a problem they were having with a dog and get either his opinion on how to fix it and or Matt would offer his time and place for them to come out

Matt and Helena did a fantastic job with my Chocolate Labrador Whiskey! They also did a good job in training myself and family on our dogs behavior and motivation. In 10 short weeks, our dog is walking correctly on lead, following commands and keeping his attention on us. Matt's tips for us on departure also help us reinforce the dogs training and build on obedience. Unfortunately we got a late start with Whiskey being 14 months old; but I appreciate Matt's honesty and experience in suggesting that we got a late start and additional gun dog training probably be more difficult than starting with a 6 month old puppy. We highly recommend Cross Creek Kennel for general obedience and Gun Dog Training.

I had my German Shepherd trained for obedience. They did an awesome job. He is doing well after several weeks home. You HAVE to keep it up once you get home and don’t get relaxed. I highly recommend them and to follow their instructions! Thanks for the great work y’all did and the help!

Helena and Matt are 1st class! We enrolled our rescue puppy in their obedience program, and 8 weeks later, he is a fabulous, well trained dog. Its obvious that they are very concerned with the dog's well being also. Our "Buddy" was always welcomed, and had no hesitation to stay. We highly recommend Cross Creek Kennel!
