"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."

"Winter Kennel has trained or kenneled all three of my dogs. Wonderful owners and wonderful care of all of my dogs. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone for training or for kenneling. This is only one of two Kennels in the Austin area that I would trust with my dogs.__It’s unfortunate that people without any dealings with this company have chosen to post reviews here. I certainly hope that Google handles these “reviews” appropriately."

Snake Avoidance
"Great place to take your dog. I took my dog Memphis to get rattlesnake trained about 3 years ago and can say he got the point. Took him back for a refresher course and he wanted nothing to do with the snake. Definitely worth the drive and $60 and knowing I've done my part to protect my hunting buddy. Cory is very informative and great at what she does. "

"I took my goldendoodle, Lula, to get snake avoidance training at Winter Kennels. We do a lot of off leash on the trails and greenbelts around Austin, so I wanted her to be trained just in case we bumped into a rattlesnake. Snake avoidance training is much more affordable than taking her to the vet should she get bit by a poisonous snake.__Kay at Winter Kennels was professional and kind. Scheduling was easy as she was very flexible. We saw her on a Sunday, and the training took about 15 minutes. She was clear on explaining the process and sweet to Lula. It worked so well! After being 'trained' that the snake was bad, Lula would not approach it when we went for it 2-3 more times. She actually ran away from it!__I feel a lot more confident now taking Lula on our adventure walks knowing she knows what to smell, hear and look for when it comes to rattlesnakes. I highly recommend snake avoidance training and doing it with Winter Kennels!__Oh, also, another great thing - for the life of the dog, Winter Kennels offers a once a year 'refresher' course for free! I will definitely be taking Lula back to continue to teach her this lesson to keep herself as well as anyone who walks with her safe from rattlesnakes."
