I stumbled across layton retrievers by a simple google search. First thing I did was read the reviews. (Which were amazing) I decided to reach out and his program checked all the boxes for what I wanted for my bird dog. Fast forward I sent my German wirehair pointer for 3 months and it was absolutely the best investment I could have ever made for me and my hunting buddy. Greg does an absolute amazing job building the confidence if these young dogs with his years of experience and knowledge. I loved how I was able to also be apart of weekly training sessions. It made such a smooth transition for when it's time to take our dog home. My pup LOVED his time at training and he loved Greg and Brenda. I can't say enough great things about my experience. If you are wanting to send your dog to a place thats clean, professional and respectful to the animals this is the place! There is a reason his ratings are amazing!
Hand down the best place around. We sent our lab Moose to them at 5 1/2 months and the 3 months he spent with them was one of the greatest investments I have ever made. Greg and Brenda are amazing people and it shows through the quality of care and attention they give to the dogs. They take the time to understand the learning needs of each individual dog and work with them to achieve whatever goals you have for them, keeping learning fun for them. Moose still gets excited and runs to the door when we ask if he wants to go back to “camp.” Working with Layton retriever kennels was nothing short of a wonderful experience for both me and my dog.
We took our 9 month old lab Jack to Layton Retrievers for 3 month Duck Dog boot camp! I am so amazed at the transformation of our dog. He will be a duck hunting machine next year. He left us as a wild puppy and he came back a very obedient trained dog. I would recommend Greg and Brenda to anyone. Very happy camper!!
