Old Dixie Kennels - The Timber Show LLC

We sent our lab, Ruby, to ODK for training and we couldn’t be more happy with the results. Our dogs are like our kids, and I knew we couldn’t send her just anywhere. We live in San Antonio, TX and we decided to send her 13.5 hours away to Carlos. That took some major trust on my part, but his reputation precedes him. This past weekend I went to pick Ruby up after months away, and was fortunate enough to see Carlos run multiple dogs from ODK in the HRC hunt test in Northern GA - and WOW. All of his dogs are a cut above the rest, and they all follow Carlos’s lead with confidence. Every dog passed, and Ruby amongst others got her HR title! Probably the most important thing to me though, is how they care for the dogs and how they treat them. The love these guys have for the dogs and the love they showed Ruby means the world to me. It was even tough for me to see them say goodbye to her! They pour their heart and soul into these dogs on a daily basis and it shows. Bottom line is I would send any dog to Old Dixie Kennels, hands down - I don’t care if we lived double the distance away, they would still be going to ODK. Thanks for the fire job you did with Ruby, and for answering my incessant questions along the way. I’m sure I’ll have many more!

Carlos and the boys at Old Dixie Kennels are some of the finest dog trainers I have ever met. They cared for our Boykin Bear like he was one of their personal dogs even letting him come in on Christmas morning. Not only are they outstanding professional trainers but are some of the best people that I can personally call some of my best friends now. There is no better professionally or personally than Carlos Alberti and the boys at Old Dixie Kennels.

I took my 9 month old Lab to Carlos and his crew at Old Dixie Kennels to start working toward a good gun dog last November. These guys are great to work with and Carlos makes sure that his guys are doing what’s needed with every dog they work with. No shortcuts! They have fantastic facilities and do a great job of taking care of the dogs. After just 3 short months, I have a well mannered dog that still has a ton of drive and desire that he shows on each retrieve. I will continue working with him to build on his progress but Carlos laid a great foundation to build on. Carlos took the time to work with me as well to ensure the transition for Bo was seamless. I’ll definitely be back with Bo and any other dog I have be it a hunting dog or not.
