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.

We have both boarded our dog with Rob and had our puppy go through the 3 week training course. Both experiences were top notch. Rob went above and beyond to make sure our dog Koda came back from training with skills needed to be a positive member of our household. We were sent pictures and videos of the training as it went along, which put our mind at ease that she was doing well. It’s been over a year since Koda has completed her training and she has done so well. We are very thankful to Rob and the Whitewater Retriever staff for the service and care provided.

Had a wonderful experience with boarding my dog Pongo here for a week and half. On arrival we found a clean, friendly, and professional facility. And picked up a healthy and tail wagging happily tired dog after vacationing. Thanks Rob!

This is probably the best dog training facility I have seen. It’s clean, and the staff is very knowledgeable. I have taken one of my dogs to be trained and I was amazed. Now I have two other dogs and Rob was awesome on giving pointers how to train. My dogs love going to see Rob. He’s great with dogs. I have no idea where these people writing bad reviews are getting their info as they clearly have not gone to Whitewater Retrievers. I highly recommend Whitewater Retrievers and Rob.

I just picked Sophia up yesterday after four weeks of training with Rob. She’s an English springer spaniel and I was having issues with her tugging and jumping. Rob did a fantastic job. She was just a joy to walk this morning. He was extremely caring and loving with Sophia! She had a hard time saying goodbye to him. Lots of kisses and tail wags. I will definitely use Rob in the future for all of my boarding and any training issues that might arise. He’s just a fantastic human being and you can feel the love he has for dogs! I am so glad I found you Rob and I am forever grateful! Thank you 🙏

We recently took our dog to Whitewater Retrievers for obedience training and gun dog training. We couldn't be happier with the results. Rob is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. We would highly recommend Whitewater Retrievers to anyone who is looking for quality dog training and or boarding.
