"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."

GSP’s Ready for Bird Season
"Just finished up training for my 2 GSP's this morning! Have been using Winter Kennels for the past 4 years. This is a must-have training for any working dog or pet. Highly recommended! Give Mrs. Kay a call to set up your appointment! 5 Stars"

"Just dispatched a 3 foot diamond back in my yard at my cabin in the Pan Handle. Just want everyone to know that Kay's snake avoidance is AMAZING!!! Riley my Spinone reacted as one would expect with this training. He spotted the snake kept his distance and kept barking in the snakes direction. Thank you so much for your valuable training!!"

Top Notch Training!
"Cory is as good as it gets. I brought my male Wirehaired Pointing Griffon to her as soon as he turned 6 months old for hunting, obedience, and snake avoidance training. When he showed up, he was one FEISTY, bull-headed puppy. Cory has turned him into the most well-behaved dog I've ever seen. Not to mention he is a HUNTING MACHINE. I take him everywhere with me and get asked if he's a service dog because of how well trained he is. That's the caliber of training you can expect from Winter Kennels. Cory spends countless hours working to get to know each dog and tailors he training method and approach to their needs. I will have all my dogs trained by Winter Kennels!"
