We had our first swimming lesson for my 5 year d Australian Shepherd Flint. I am so glad we purchased a whole package because this was one of the best activities we have done. Bennet is a wonderful trainer with a calm demeanor, it was very easy to learn from him. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to do fun activities with their dog. Thank you for helping me give my dog a fun life!

I cannot say enough good things about David and his team. From the very beginning, David has shown compassion, understanding, and a genuine commitment to doing what is best for both the dog and the family. Dog training is not always a straight path, and every dog is different. What impressed me the most was David’s willingness to listen, have honest conversations, and work toward a solution instead of treating every situation as one-size-fits-all. He truly cares about the dogs he works with and the families who love them. David has been patient, supportive, and willing to think outside the box to help create the best possible outcome. His dedication, communication, and compassion are qualities that are hard to find. I appreciate that he doesn’t just see dogs as a business transaction—he genuinely wants to help dogs and their owners succeed, even when situations are challenging.

We met David back around 2017 when he trained our 2 Goldens Tucker and Maggie but most of all he trained me. That was before he had the wonderful facility he has now. Then about 2 years ago we lost Tucker and got a new Golden Murphy and where else would we go but back to Kabler for his training. We worked with Bennett this time and he was just as wonderful as working with David. We came away with dogs we can take anywhere and enjoy life with. We have done obedience and dock diving with Kabler. Maggie trained in 2017 and 2018 and is a champion dock diver as well as a fun agility girl.. Murphy loves the pool but still needs work. David has been the only person that can get this boy off the dock. Most of all David became a good friend and has always been available for any questions over the years. So I highly recommend Kabler School For Dogs for any training needs you may have for your dog.

Nina, my 12 year old mixed breed dog from Puerto Rico is now swimming regularly at the Kabler School Pool. This is a wonderful therapeutic swim time for her and she just loves being there. This is all thanks to Bennett. Nina is a former street dog and she is fearful of new people and places. Bennett has developed a very positive relationship with her. He also worked with us both so we could utilize the independent swim time. She now spends her pool time retrieving little squeaky balls. Perfect for her. I am so pleased when I see her happily swimming and exercising. Thank you, Bennett.

The experience at Kabler School for Dogs was amazing! The training was extremely rewarding for our dog as well as my husband and me! We all learned so much through the personal weekly training. We then decided to enroll Cookie for the boarding training and it was the best decision we have made in Cookie's life. The change in her behavior was astonishing. The entire staff at Kabler were the best-they were patient, kind and loving but firm when Cookie needed to know who was the boss. They never gave up on the stubborn puppy we brought to them! Cookie loves to go to Kabler if we need something extra-whether it's some extra help, something from the store or any advice. A happy, excited dog when they see someone or a place they know says it all. These folks and all they offer have been a blessing to us! We can't wait to take Cookie for swimming lessons next! I could go on and on about the experience and people at Kabler but I guess my best advice is to go there and see for yourself! Jo Moore
