Questions & answers

What 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.

Honestly can’t recommend Rob enough! Not only did our dog come home extremely well behaved and well trained, but Rob went out of his way to make sure that we were informed of everything the entire 3 weeks he had our boy. Rob went out of his way not only for us but for several clients while we were there. Things such as picking up extra food for him, communicating any concerns, and sending videos of our Dobermans training. If you’re looking for training that’s affordable, excellent , and leaving your pup somewhere you can truly trust.. THIS IS THE PLACE!! We’re already looking forward to sending future pups of ours there! While we were there he also had a 9 week old litter of labs and showed us the training he had done for her. At 9 weeks old this little lady was kicking up birds in long grass, having gun fire over her, and retrieving the birds!

I am incredibly impressed with Whitewater Retrievers, Rob did a fantastic job with training our 8 month old Doberman Winston. After the 3 week board and train, he is no longer reactive to other dogs, does not pull on the leash when going on walks, and is very well mannered. Rob regularly sent videos with updates on how training was going and did a detailed walk through of how to continue with his training. Winston also had a great time and made a lot of new doggo friends! Thanks again Rob!

I couldn't be happier with the experience my dog, Felix, had at Whitewater Retrievers! Over the past three weeks, the transformation in Felix has been nothing short of amazing. The trainer, Rob, is truly exceptional. His expertise, patience, and genuine love for dogs shine through in everything he does. From the moment we arrived, Felix was treated with the utmost care and respect. Rob took the time to understand Felix's unique personality and tailored the training to suit his needs. The results speak for themselves—Felix is now more obedient, confident, and happy than ever before. The facilities at Whitewater Retrievers are top-notch, and it's clear that Rob and his team are dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing environment for all the dogs they train. I am incredibly grateful for the positive changes I've seen in Felix and highly recommend Whitewater Retrievers to anyone looking for quality dog training. Thank you, Rob, for your outstanding work!

Rob treats our puppy like one of his own. I loved seeing the hugs and kisses he gives our pup! The facility is immaculate and very clean smelling. I’d highly recommend Whitewater Retrievers!!

I took my 3 year old boxer to him. Nala was long overdue for training. We had looked around for a trainer and ultimately chose Rob, which I’m so grateful we did! Nala had always been an aggressive/ reactive dog, with major separation anxiety and obedience issues. I took her to Robs three week training and was immediately impressed with his clean, kept up facility. Rob was very considerate of my issues with Nala, and helped me find the best route to getting her better. After picking her up, I have quickly found that I have a different dog, but in the best way. She willingly goes in her kennel( something we would have never imagined her doing), aggression towards other dogs and people are non existent, and she’s overall a very well behaved dog now. We are so happy we chose Rob and now have someone we love and trust to board her too!
