"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!"

"Ms. Winter is awesome. A wonderful experience. Had three dogs snake "proofed". Very effective, she is very professional. And best - unlike when I had a dog snake "proofed" when I lived in another area and the trainers sutured the snake's mouth closed - at Winter Kennels they actually remove the venom sac - which I really appreciated as one dog - our little poodle- felt the shock and jumped and landed right on the snake!!! It appeared that she was bitten - but was not injected with venom!! Thank goodness. They also do refresher courses. It was money well spent and now I have piece of mind as we are going to be in heavy rattle snake country this coming winter. She explained what she was going to do and educated us about how the training worked. Very impressed."

Life-saving training
"I have been training with Winter Kennels for multiple generations of dogs (14 dogs so far) to avoid snakes. The training has saved at least two of my own from being bitten, and the dogs alert on snake scent in the yard so we know to avoid those areas. I recommend ALL my clients go to these folks. Being able to read the dog and use the right technique is very important. Kay is fabulous!"
