"I was concerned after my dog sniffed a dead rattlesnake so I took him in for their annual free check. Turns out he knows the difference between a good rattlesnake and a bad one. Added training on copperheads and water moccasins. I've used them for over 20 years."

"I did snake avoidance training with my pup through Winter Kennels. The piece of mind knowing my dog will avoid snakes is worth every cent. They do refresher classes to make sure the dog remembers for free! I highly recommend."

Outstanding
"I have a snake phobia, but living in Central Texas in the country, you are going to come across them. We had our Vizsla Rory trained on all 3 snakes about 4 years ago. Last night he alerted us to a 3+ foot rattlesnake in my flower bed along the front porch. A few months ago he alerted me to a rat snake which was not a snake he was trained on. In both cases he acted exactly as Kay said he would. I highly recommend Kay and Winter Kennels for snake avoidance training."

"I had my dog spend several months out at Winter Kennels for obedience and hunting training. My pup was a WILD CHILD, and Winter Kennels was able to turn him into an incredible companion and a lights-out hunting dog. It’s like they taught him English! The first month was tough not being able to see him, but the trainer explained that this is to help create the training bond between the dog and the trainer. Man were they right about that! From then on I went out every week to train alongside my pup (owners need training too!). Winter Kennels is not some high strung snobby dog class, it’s a hunting and obedience kennel and every second of training is spent on helping your pup be their best. My dog is now on his way to being a field trial champion!__Response to accusations from old reviews - sternness with a dog a cruelty are not the same thing. The trainer had to be stern with my stubborn dog, but make no mistake, he adores her. Winter Kennels is one of his favorite places on earth... that would not be the case in an abuse situation. Don’t rip on a family business for something you didn’t take the time to understand."
