Best training and boarding facility I know of!
I had my 6 month old Lab mix puppy Lucky (now 9 years old) trained by Kristy in 2000. This is without a doubt a premiere facility and Kristy is very knowledgeable and caring. They treated my dog like one of their own. We also boarded Lucky with them numerous times while we were out of town. We never had to worry because we knew our dog was getting excellent care. I would HIGHLY recommend Waterdog Kennels to anyone looking for obedience training for their dog. You will not be disappointed.

Home Away From Home
I have an American bulldog that I got when I was working at Waterdog, he will be 4yrs old in April and I get compliments all the time about how well he listens and how well behaved he is. I give all the credit to Kristie and her teachings. Rocky LOVES boarding at Waterdog whenever I go out of town, and now Rocky's little brother Cane LOVES staying there too and is about to go through the off leash training himself. Both of my "powerhouses" love it. I have nothing but pure confidence and trust leaving both of my dogs at Waterdog, and I won't board anywhere else. I tell everyone who asks me where they should board their dogs, Waterdog Kennels, there's not a greater place for any breed of dog to stay.

Best Place to Board your Active Lab (or any dog)!
After a few bad experiences at other “nice” boarding facilities, we were so disheartened about kenneling our black lab, Cody. Cody is an active lab; however, the other kennels made us feel like he was a “problem child”… NOT at Waterdog Kennels, they saw a great dog that just needs to get out a play! I gave Waterdog Kennels a try because of their reviews. It is a 2+ hour round-trip drive (from Newnan), but WORTH THE DRIVE! My husband and I immediately loved the place!!!! It is located in a comfortable and quiet setting in the country, but not far from I-20 West. Kristie, the owner was so friendly, and you could tell she loves what she does. When Cody left Waterdog he was tuckered out and a very HAPPY DOG! I was so thrilled that we finally found a place that I can TRUST to keep our “son” Cody. My husband and I both agreed that the owners were some of the nicest people we have met, and we think Cody agrees!

Camp Waterdog!
I have been using Waterdog for my retriever training and boarding for over three years. Sometimes longterm(1+ month). My dogs have been happy, healthy and well balanced after their stays at Waterdog. Kristie and her staff exhibit professionalism and genuine personal touch to their clients(human and canine). I travel over 100 miles one way to board my dogs at Waterdogs. Top notch facilities in a relaxed atmosphere. Nationally recognized trainer too! Take your beloved puppy/dog and rest easy knowing they are getting the best!

Training at its Best at "Camp" Waterdog!
I met Kristie 7 years ago at a retriever training seminar we were both attending. I was so impressed with her abilities that I have been field training with her ever since. She has helped me train my Labrador Retriever, Cooper, to Master Hunter level; something I would never have been able to do without her expertise. Much of retriever training IS obedience. Cooper is currently in "Camp" Waterdog getting a "tune-up" for some upcoming AKC hunting tests. I have had more opportunities to observe Kristie in retriever training than in training canine house manners, but I am at her premises enough to know that she is as much an expert trainer for general manners as she is for retriever training. I am extremely selective in who trains my dog besides me, and can truthfully say Waterdog Kennels obedience or retriever training is among the best.Having taught obedience classes myself, I like the "class" format, however have found that most owners dont find the time to consistently train on a daily basis as is required to get the best results. That is where Kristie excels. She can take the dogs into her care, incorporate her expertise and then show the owners how to maintain what she has trained.Kristie takes great pride in the clean upkeep of her kennels. She is compassionate towards all animals (and people), and goes above and beyond in getting the best from her canine students and their "keepers". Do I recommend Waterdog Kennels and their training program? YOU Bet! N.Widney

The Best!
Waterdog Kennels is the only place I board my dogs. I have an older labrador that gets the special attention she needs from Kristie. All three of my dogs love to visit and play at Waterdog.

Great Service!
We used Waterdog Kennels for boarding in the summer of 2008 when we went on a cruise. I was nervous about leaving my Great Dane puppy for an entire week. Kristie quickly put my mind at ease. We were happy to learn that Mojo would be able to sleep inside in a crate like he is used to. He also got plenty of outdoor play time. He was also able to bring his own food, treats and a blanket that smelled like home. We appreciate the extra time Kristie took to answer my questions and give me a tour of her facility. On our next vacation, we wouldn't even consider leaving our dog with anyone else.

Perfect 10!
Waterdog Kennels worked their magic on our chocolate lab puppy. We knew we had our hands full, but with a busy schedule, found it nearly impossible to be consistent with her training. We highly considered giving her up. We left our dog when we went on vacation, came back and worked with her a few times, then we brought home a great friend, and family companion. I would hightly recommend Krisitie and her staff.

Thanks, Mark. And thanks for referring Amy and Pepsi to us. Pepsi graduates this week. We were happy to see Kelsey last week and really enjoyed her. You've done a great job keeping up her training. She was a pleasure!

Best Place For Your Dog
Kristie did so much for our lab Axle, he was never spastic or crazy but now he listens to everything the first time and we knew he felt comfortable there while he was boarding which was just as important.

Best home away from home for Charlie
Kristie is amazing. Our golden retriever at 10 months of age was chewing, gnawing (not agressive just loved to chew..walls, furniture, carpet) and suffered from severe separation anxiety. We wanted a golden that would be part of our family, walk and run in the neighborhood, travel, have good manners when friends stopped by but it just wasn't happening. A neighbor mentioned Waterdog Kennels and when I contacted Kristie she completely explained the 28 day off leash program. I had no idea what a gift this would be for Charlie and our family. After completing the training he walks and runs off leash daily. He is known in our neighborhood for his gentle and friendly approach to all dogs, children and adults. During Charlie's training Kristie also trained us, so we would all benefit from the program. As a trainer, Kristie connects with each dog and treats them with respect, love and patience all along raising the bar so they go home confident, relaxed, happy and well mannered. Waterdog is the only kennel Charlie visits when we have to travel without him. The play yard and country setting is perfect for any dog, the training programs are excellent!
