Red Iron Kennels

Took our lab to Bill back in September of 2000. We did the 6 week obedience course and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. The training is very simple and easy to master for dog and owner. This investment was one of the best I’ve ever made. We lost our dog very recently, but had 15 wonderful years with him. I never had a concern taking him anywhere, including environments with non-​dog people, children, etc. As soon as our new pup is old enough, she’ll be going to Red Iron as well.

We were at our wits end with our year old lab upon hearing numerous people repeatedly recommend Red Iron Kennels. We called Bill the owner and were able to drop him off the next day for 6 weeks of training. Bill is the cream of the crop! He is beyond knowledgable and helpful! We visited our dog 4 times prior to bringing him home in order to learn what has been taught. Each visit we were more impressed than we could have imagined! Our dog has definitely calmed down and is obedient which we did not think was even possible. Bill mentioned numerous times that should any issues or questions arise we are more than welcome to call or bring him back out for a quick lesson all included in the $ 800 total! When initially calling around other training programs were more than 4x that amount! We look forward to using Red Iron Kennels and Bill for boarding in the future. His rates for boarding are beyond reasonable…$ 15 per night and an extra $ 5 each day to do refresher training/​new training! Save your sanity and send your naughty dogs to Bill! Best money ever spent!!!

We took our 2+ year old pointer mix to Bill for 6 week obedience training. We needed help training our dog to respond to us off-​leash, as well as socializing him a bit more. Bill is far and away the most competent trainer we’ve ever come across. Our dog was heeling very well after 4+ weeks, as well as traveling nicely within the pack and interacting with no problems whatsoever. After the full 6 weeks and a return home, our dog is behaving perfectly. We’re taking him on walks without a leash, and he knows his place within our family.
Bill also provides a very reasonable rate. We couldn’t recommend Bill more.
