Avery Creek Retrievers

Billy is very knowledgeable and has lot of patience when it comes to training not only the dog but also the owners. The price was reasonable and worth it. Thanks again Avery Creek!

I ran across Avery Creek after a friend recommended Billy to train my Lab. I met with Billy and he went over everything I needed to know.

He has done a great job with her, and I am very pleased with the outcome.
