    K9 Department - Me and my dog Bites after her training. She was very excited to see me.

    K9 Department

    Luke is an almost 8 year old Golden Retriever that I rescued when he was 2 years old. While I don't…read more know exactly what happened during the first part of his life, it was clear he came with a tremendous amount of fear and insecurity. For the past five years, I poured everything I had into helping him, but there were some things I simply couldn't overcome on my own. Luke wasn't just anxious-he was an extreme anxiety case. He has severe storm and crate anxiety, had broken out of multiple crates and severely injuring himself in the process, and had a bite history. He struggled with strangers, especially men, and I honestly wasn't sure anyone could help him at his age. From day one, Ray approached Luke with incredible patience, compassion, and a genuine desire to understand Luke - not just apply a one size fits all training program. He learned what motivated Luke and adjusted his training to hit him. The transformation has been incredible. Luke can now calmly settle in a crate, has learned to stay focused on me instead of his surroundings, and is so much more confident around people. Just as importantly, Ray taught me how to better understand Luke's body language and redirect him before he becomes overwhelmed. He didn't just train my dog, he taught me how to help him succeed. I was terrified to send Luke to board and train. I was worried he would bite Ray (he definitely tried a few times), shut down, or feel abandoned. Instead, Ray kept me updated, showed incredible patience, and never gave up on him. The biggest testament to Ray's work is their relationship. Luke has always struggled with men, but now he gets excited every time he sees Ray. The first time I dropped him off to board after training, he happily walked right inside with Ray and didn't even look back at me. That moment meant everything. Ray makes training fun, and the dogs genuinely love him. Beyond the training, Ray has given me something priceless: peace of mind. For years, I avoided vacations and taking any time away because I never trusted anyone to keep Luke safe. Now I finally have someone I trust completely. I met with several trainers before finding Ray, but something never felt right until I met him. If you have a dog with anxiety, fear, or behavior challenges, don't give up. Ray is patient, compassionate, and truly trains the dog in front of him, not the dog he wishes he had. Thank you Ray, for believing in Luke and teaching me how to be a better owner to him.

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ray and the incredible job he did with Jimmi…read more Jimmi spent approximately two weeks with Ray, and my goal was to have a confident, well-mannered service dog who could go anywhere with me, accompany me in my everyday life, and eventually be able to fly with me. I've only had Jimmi home for a few days, but I'm already amazed at the difference. We've been out to multiple places together, and I've learned so much about my dog and how to communicate with him. Honestly, I never really knew who Jimmi was or what he was capable of before working with Ray. Ray is truly a dog whisperer. What I love most is that he didn't just train Jimmi -- he taught me. The extra time, knowledge, and guidance Ray gave me, especially during our windshield time, has been invaluable. I now have a much better understanding of Jimmi and how to continue reinforcing everything he learned. Now it's up to us to continue with the daily habits, consistency, and positive reinforcement so these lessons become part of our everyday life. I will continue working with Ray periodically through his board-and-train program for refresher training to keep Jimmi sharp and continue building on the foundation Ray has given us. I highly recommend Ray to anyone looking for someone who genuinely understands dogs and knows how to bring out their best. Thank you, Ray, for helping me discover the amazing dog I already had.

    For the most beautiful labradors, this is where you want to get yours. The owners name is Shannon…read more She is very well educated, and she knows what she's doing. She takes wonderful care of all her dogs (Which she as quite a few) and puppies. Ask her any question. I adopted a male yellow from her. He is so loving. Not to forget hysterically funny. I've had him now for 4 weeks. On the very first day. We bonded. By day 2, he adopted me. We became very attached immediately. He is very smart, and LOVES to eat. I couldn't be happier. With my Labrador Murphy.

    From the owner: We take raising puppies as a serious, yet fun business. We only breed with the highest pedigree and…read morebest temperaments to produce sound, quality pups. Our dogs are free from hip and shoulder dysplasia, calm, clean, loving, non-destructive and well behaved. We work to better protect the breed by completing over 200 different genetic health and joint tests through Embark. We have been breeding Labs for 14 years, but we have been part of the Labrador world for 28 years. Shannon belonged to the Dallas-Ft. Worth Labrador Retriever Club and Rescue in the 90's and trained a big beautiful black Lab named Shadow who took best of show as a 9 month old puppy in his first showing. Our dogs and puppies receive LOTS of loving attention, top notch care and are family raised, with a LOT of love. Many of our pups have gone into service, therapy, and hunting work, not to mention loving companion home. We have 10 acres of romping room for our dogs and puppies to enjoy their life and we have temperature controlled kennels. Even though we have nice facilities, we also rotate the dogs as to who sleeps in the house with us, and who is in the kennels for the night. We have received excellent marks on our AKC inspections.
