"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!"

"Excellent snake training. I would highly recommend for all dogs that spend time on the surrounding trails. We trained our dog for Rattlesnake and Water Moccasins."

"I have had 3 hunting dogs trained at Winter Kennels and can only say positive things about Cory and Kay. My dogs (and me) have benefited greatly from the knowledgeable training received making our bird hunts safer and more fun. The dogs are able to hold point and retrieve, and have learned to avoiding rattlesnakes. Dog owners need to educate themselves and understand that Winter Kennels is not a "doggie spa" but is a place where field dogs and their owners can receive important training to enhance their experience in the field and make it safer. I wholly endorse Winter Kennels."

"We got our GPS from Cory a couple of months ago. She had previously trained him and when he turned two, his owner at the time decided he couldn’t keep him. We lucked out big time! Our GSP is well trained and extremely well mannered. He is great with kids and other dogs. We were impressed with her ranch set up. It’s a great layout for training dogs. She even put a few birds out so we could see our dog go to work. The way hunting dogs work is simply amazing. We have no hesitation taking our GPS back to Cory for a refresher training class, or any other dog for that matter, and would definitely get another dog from here."
