We’ve been going to Clint at Cold Tree Kennels since 2015 when he trained our first lab, who went on to become the best hunting partner we could ask for. Once we got our second lab, we knew we would send him there as well. Because of Clint, our dog Riggs has flourished in the hunting and trial settings. He not only kills it every waterfowl season but also continues to perform in both hunt tests and field trials, earning his QAA this year. If you want a trainer you can trust, and know will hold and push your dog to the highest standards, Clint is the trainer for just that!

I have had the fortunate opportunity to train with Clint on a very frequent basis for the past 3+ years. My lab and I have both been the recipients of a specialized training plan from the basics to the advanced levels where he has been excelling in QAA Trials. Clint has the skill to observe, establish, and carry out a training plan for each dog in the kennel. Thanks to his observation and suggestions I have improved my handling skills to become a much more confident handler at the Master and QAA levels while my lab is being challenged to reach his full potential. I definitely recommend Clint to handle the training needs of your retriever, and I look forward to many more years working with him.

“We have always entrusted our dogs to board with Clint. Even our difficult-to-handle dog has been welcomed back repeatedly with no issues. We would recommend them to anybody”

I met Clint about 2 years ago and never regretted one moment! Clints the most humble, and hard working dog trainer out there. His ability to train a dog and you at the same time is phenomenal! Explaining every step of the way in detail to where anyone could run a dog in the snap of a finger! Recommendation is a 1000 times yes! Training with Clint has taught me to become patient, understanding, and realizing what all a dog is capable of.
