Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
When is your next session? And how much?
If you want to have your dog trained, contact the owner, the important thing to remember is make reservations now for fall. He is extremely busy and has limited space. He has different options available for training such as obedience training or for hunting. Dogs stay with him uninterrupted for 3 weeks. He does use a correction device to aid in training. I hope this helps with your decision. He can tell you how much he charges, he is substantially less then other trainers.

Our 1 year old Rottie spent 3 weeks with Rob in March and it has been a game changer. Rob was very professional and direct about his approach and style of training. He instilled some solid fundamentals which will help us down the road . He was extremely responsive through the process , excellent at communicating and sharing video updates frequently. At the end of the 3 weeks , he spent several hours with our entire family training us to ensure continuity in Rocco’s training . He has also checked in since to see how our progress is going. Top notch trainer, would highly recommend.

My family decided to take my dog who I’ve trained myself (over 15 commands as she is in training to be a service dog for me) to this place. It was the first time being apart from her for those weeks. He didn’t do anything to teach her. He didn’t help in any way except by making my dog scared when she came back home. He used a choke chain on her and recommended it to my parents and if you do your research they aren’t good and for me they are terrible. Take your money and go somewhere nicer or train your dog yourself. I spent those weeks my dog was gone very roughly only to get her back as a more scared dog. Now she’s better but it was ridiculous.
Abuse, neglect, fails to inform of training. My dog is AFRAID of men now. Would give 0 stars if I could
We have taken our dog, Booya, a Rottweiler, to Rob at Whitewater Retrievers for obedience training and also for boarding for 4 years. Booya loves Rob and also going there for boarding. He always loves seeing Rob. I would highly recommend Whitewater Retrievers for training and boarding.
