FirstBarkWill is the best there is out there. We purchased a black lab from him. He has been training him and doing an amazing job. We could not have done it without him. He is really knowledgeable in black labs. The best there is! I recommend him 100 %. He responds immediately when I have questions. Amazing customer service.

Sent our dog goose to Slater Kennels & he came back a different dog, he obeys and can retrieve birds for my husband when hunting! Had a great experience!
Excellent training! My dog’s bad habits corrected in a way I can duplicate and understand.

Finding a kennel to entrust boarding dogs who are family members is never an easy task. I was fortunate to have William provide boarding services for our 2 English Setters while we attended to medical concerns for my wife. For the entire 18 day stay, they were well cared for. Do not hesitate to call on Slater Kennels for training and boarding of your Gun Dogs. If we lived in Texas, we would certainly become members at his facility.

After wanting something more than the chaotic doggy daycare environment for our 3 year old Pudelpointer Honeybee, we were thrilled to find this as an option. Will was a game changer when it came to teaching her commands and leash etiquette during our 1v1 training sessions. Knowing that our pup will get knowledgeable and dedicated care gives us peace of mind, and there’s plenty of space for her to get her energy out. Definitely recommend Slater Kennels!
