“After seeing Laurie Williams work her own dogs at a field demonstration, I knew she was the one to use in training our Lab pups.This picture shows our three 7 month-old littermates after they spent a short time training with Laurie at Dog Pond Kennels.For boarding your dog, the accommodations are outstanding. They are immaculate, spacious, and filled with love! Her expertise in training is second to none. You must see it for yourself. It is worth the trip!

“We use Dog Pond for our English Cocker Spaniel, because we trust the Williams with an important part of our family, “Duke.” The Williams have been working with Duke since he was a puppy. He trained intensively for four months. Since that first training, he returns to Dog Pond when we are traveling. Laurie works with Duke daily to refresh and refine his hunting and retrieving skills. Thanks to their guidance, Duke has become an excellent hunting dog. Since he is a cherished family pet, we love it that Glen and Laurie treat him as their “family” too.Our confidence in the Williams combined with their excellent facility causes us to recommend Dog Pond to our family and friends.

“I cannot believe the difference that Laurie made with my golden, Nana. I could not walk her at all as all she would do was pull me wherever she wanted to go. Even as a puppy, she had the strength to pull me down. So I just gave up and stopped walking.

My husband convinced me to take her to Dog Pond and, after meeting Laurie, my reservations were gone. We left her there for two weeks and I couldn’t believe the difference. I started to train with her after that at Dog Pond and, believe me, I had no idea how much I had to learn.

We now walk 1.2 miles every day and I don’t even have to hold onto the leash. Laurie taught us both so much and I love walking Nana now. The best part is she loves it too.

Thanks for everything, Laurie.”
