Webfoot Retrievers retriever training kennel

I have a yellow lab named Cutter who I brought to Webfoot Retrievers for duck dog training when he was 4 months old or so. Before deciding on Webfoot I visited a larger kennel in the up-state that I did not like quite as much. I chose Webfoot over this kennel for a few reasons. One main reason being Ray, the owner, had more time to work with my dog, Ray took the time to not only work Cutter but to work with me as well, and Ray was dedicated to each dog in his kennel. Ray makes sure he has an appropriate amount of dogs so that he is able to train and keep every individual dog happy. Ray has a very close relationship with each dog in his kennel and is committed to making them the best they can be. After leaving Cutter there for a month I realized Ray genuinely cared that Cutter desired to r

I have a 1 1/2 yr old springer spaniel that is a handful to say the least. I was given Rays name and was told he could help me. It has been a few months now that my dog has stayed at the boarding facility. Ray has worked with my dog on obedience training and I can happily say my dog now listening and is doing well. So far I had him home for one weekend trial period and he did great. I know as I continue to work with Ray I will be able to handle my dog in any situation. Ray is a very experienced professional trainer that is great to work with.

I brought my 1 year old Boykin Spaniel, Jake, to be trained to be a duck dog by Ray when he was about 4 months old. When I dropped him off, he had never been swimming and was very much a Boykin spaniel puppy. The obedience training he received in addition to his retriever training has been excellent. From the first time I met Ray, I could tell he genuinely cared about the dogs in his care. Throughout Jake's time with Ray, I would join in periodic training sessions to help sharpen my skills as a handler and to bond with my dog. In those sessions it was easy to see that Ray was equally invested in the dog's success as well as my own as a handler. While I have no complaints on Jake's retrieving abilities in the field now that I have brought him home, I do plan on bringing Jake back for some

I have an English Cocker Spaniel who spent a couple of months with Ray at Webfoot Retrievers and my experience was absolutely fantastic. Prior to being with Ray, my ~1 year-old puppy was very difficult to manage. She would demand bark, lacked general obedience and was a source of stress for our family. Ray transformed our puppy into an obedient, fun family member who listens and behaves, but still retains her same energetic personality. Our puppy now walks on heel (with and without a leash), obeys commands, and no longer demand barks. It is truly amazing what Ray accomplished in just a short period of time. Ray accomplished this because he takes a very scientific approach to dog training. He understands dogs and how their brains operate and tailors his training to dogs’ individual needs -

We have a blue heeler that can be a bit snarky at times but Ray is able to really work with him and get our dog into a really good place. Ray has always gone above and beyond to answer my questions about how to train my dog correctly so that our dog can be a great family dog. I highly recommend him to anyone, not just bird dog owners.
