I found Robin to be awesome and was diligent in getting back to me. I’ll continue to take my 1.5 year old GSD to Runchkin for training. Thanks a lot Robin and crew!

I’m so thankful that I was able to find such a reputable breeder and dog trainer. We have a high drive German Shepherd and a Belgian Mal and there is nobody else I would go to besides Robin @ Runchkin Hill. Anytime we have text or called Robin, she is fast to respond and there to help us in any way she can. We are forever thankful that we found Robin (by chance) and truly she is the only one we feel comfortable enough with our two dogs.
Best trainer I have ever had
Runchkin Hill is a fantastic facility and the trainers are the best I have ever used. They are responsive to questions and requests.

My wife and I chose this place after doing extensive reaserch for a Belgian Malinois pup. We called Robin to setup our initial visit, she responded in a timely manner, and was very accomodating to schedule a visit, even though she was expecting a GSD litter at any moment and juggling the day-to-day responsibilities of her business. Once on premises, we were very impressed with her beautuful facility and greeted instantly by staff then Robin minutes later, she spent a lot of time with us showing her dogs and facility, and was very thorough and attentive to our need to have a well behaved dog to get along with our smaller breed dog at home. She guided us through the puppy choosing process offering many tips and insight on what to look for to choose the best pup that will fit our scenario. We picked-up our new Malinois puppy Wyatt two weeks ago and we couldn't be any happier. He is suprisingly well-behaved, very smart, and easy to train, even at such a young age! He just went through Robin's puppy program and continues to impress us everyday! We look forward to group classes as well as private ones with our other dog! I highly recommend Runchkin Hill Farm and Kennel if your looking for a new well bred, great temperment puppy/dog as well as their training programs! Thank you, Alex and Kari
