Stevenson Gun Dog and Obedience

Jeff and Kade took our 7 month old GSP and taught him obedience, manners and field skills in an unbelievable 3 months! Lincoln is now a great dog that is a joy to have in the house and a companion. I am so blessed to have found Jeff and Kade. I will recommend anyone to have them as trainers. Lincoln was treated with love and affection. It was so apparent at our weekly visit’s that he was happy and very well taken care of. Jeff and Kade will always be here for you even after the training is done. I can not express enough the gift they have as trainers. We will be forever grateful for all the work they have done. Thank you so much.

Overall my dog came Back ok. However he seemed to not understand pointers. (German wirehair). Kept telling me that pointers don’t like water etc. my dog loves water retrieves. But the obedience was good. Seemed a little heavy handed with my dog as well which I didn’t like. Now he did work with her several years ago so maybe’s better now. I just was looking for training for my young gsp and was reminded.

I will forever recommend Jeff and Kade till the end of time. I (along with an ex-husband) have brought two dogs to their facility. One, a young male black lab for both the gun dog & obedience training. The second, a spicey little female german shepard mix, for his advanced obedience course. Both very different temperaments, both very different styles of energy. And both turned into a joy to live life along with. The lab, Duke, I'm told is a wonderful buddy to have out hunting. He was an absolute joy to share a home with, and he behaved SO GOOD for myself on leashed walks, unleashed play time. Its insane to see a stumbly little lab turn into a well behaved and mannered life partner both in home and in the feild. Jeff did great with that little string bean of a dopey lab 🥰 The shepard mix, Kia, was not the friendliest of puppys. Play meant teeth, 24/7. She was horrible on leashed walks. She had SO MUCH ENERGY and would let it out in the most unfavorable ways. I'd always owned labs, and lab mixes, and only males. So a female german shepard spicey land shark was a whole new experience for me. And I was definitely in a bit over my head with her. As soon as she was old enough, I sent her to Jeff & Kade. At first I thought she might miss me. On my first visit, I relized she was having a great time. You can just see it in their expression and body language. She loved the guys. And durring every visit, I almost guarantee I said something along the lines of "Thats insane". Never did I think she would get to a point where she could be placed and stay there until released. That was insane. I whole heartedly didnt think I'd get to experience the off leashe luxury with Kia. Today I picked her up from daycare, and it was the first time we could fetch further that 5 feet in the yard, as she wasnt on leashe. She was LOVING IT. We practiced heeling while walking along the perimeter of the yard, sitting and staying until released, and placing. We had people walk by, and she didnt bat an eye. Not everyone is lucky enough to find such trainers like Jeff & Kade. Theyve done incredible work with Kia. I'm so proud of her I could litterally cry. Forever thankful to have found them.
