FirstBarkWilliam did a fantastic job with my 10 month old Brittany who was quite frankly a menace in the home and would absolutely not pay attention to me outdoors. After a 3 month stay with him she has a perfect recall and is a much more well behaved dog. Thank you and I will be recommending him to anyone who needs a dog trained. 5 stars, 10/10 service.

I have regular golden not neutered without a need for gun training and he was so happy. I have been going to William everytime I need my dog to stay somewhere else. He is knowledgeable and well prepared, the facility where the dogs stay at is also in really good shape.If you are looking for professionalism and ease of mind when leaving your pup somewhere else, this is the right place!
We boarded our sweet lab with William and it was such a great experience that she'll be back next month. William is easy to work with and has a very professional setup. Our pup had the best time running around on the adventure days out, and we loved seeing the photos William sent. Thank you!

5 stars (would give more stars if I could)! Our Dog (Teddy) loves Slater Kennels and William. Teddy is so excited when he gets to go! We have received both training and boarding services through Slater Kennels. I cannot say enough good things about William. From the moment you book all the way to pick-up, William’s one-on-one attention and communication skills are phenomenal. William goes the extra mile by sending pictures of Teddy throughout his stay, runs him in the fields, and lets Teddy have fun swimming. This all allows Teddy to burn off a portion of his endless energy -- after pick-up Teddy naps for a few days. William welcomes Teddy with excitement and care each time we drop off. This gives us peace of mind that he is in great hands while we are traveling. William also uses the same training methods that we do at home. This helps reinforce our methods that we work to maintain. William has a clean/spotless, safe, and organized kennels for boarding. Thank you so much for taking care of our Teddy!
William is the best! He is so knowledgeable and even shared a wealth of info with us that was so helpful. Our lab, Walter had the best time with his new friends and William!

William is the best! He is so knowledgeable and even shared a wealth of info with us that was so helpful. Our lab, Walter had the best time with his new friends and William! He even came back smelling better than he came. It’s so nice leaving our dog knowing he’s going to have a blast and will be so well cared for while we are traveling. William really goes above and beyond! So thankful we found him!
