My dog is a much more well behaved dog after obedience training. We are very pleased with Coulter’s training of Costa and he treated my dog very well when he stayed with them. Recommend highly

I can't express how pleased I am with castle house kennels!! Colter has been awesome, answered every question, explained everything Duke did that week. Duke is definitely ready for duck season. I highly recommend castle house kennels!! Thanks Colter I'll see you this spring to continue Duke's training.

We’re so thankful our golden retriever had the chance to attend a 2 month advance obedience training with Colter! Now Murphy can walk beside us, off the leash, when it’s appropriate. She can sit and stay, even with some distractions! We’re enjoying our fur baby so much more, because she’s able to obey! Thank you Colter for all your time and attention you gave to our sweet girl! In the picture below, I’m cooking, and usually Murphy would be jumping up trying to steal a bite of food, however, now she lays down at command, even while I’m cooking! She’s a good girl now!
We sent our Mini Aussie to Colter for the one month basic program. Reba is much better behaved. She is sits on command, lays, places and heels. He spent a lot of time with us for the hand off session and answered all of our questions. The facility is very nice and clean!
Very informative and professional. His dogs are amazing. Looking forward to allowing him to work with my Topbrass Golden!
