About Spring Valley Kennel
Spring Valley Kennel offers exceptional dog training services that have transformed the lives of many pet owners. Clients have shared their amazement at the results achieved with their dogs, who have gone from being unruly to well-behaved companions. Linda, the trainer, is praised for her compassion and love, especially when working with dogs that have experienced neglect or abuse. For example, one client noted how their dog, Minnie, learned to come when called, stop barking at passersby, and greet guests calmly after her training. Regular updates and videos from Linda provided reassurance during the training process. Another satisfied customer expressed joy at their dog Flo's progress, highlighting how she no longer pulls on the leash and behaves well during visits. Many clients trust Spring Valley Kennel to care for their dogs, with some having used the boarding services for over 8 years. The caring and flexible team is known for quick communication and handling last-minute changes with kindness. Linda and Sean are experienced hunting dog trainers. They were recommended to help a dog exhibiting undesirable and potentially dangerous behaviors like bolting out of the car or house with no response to a recall. The owner enrolled the dog in a 10-day “Boot Camp” training, which addressed impulse control and a dominant streak, including the use of a stimulation training collar. After training, the dog had a solid recall, reduced dominant behavior, and showed increased attention span. The owner learned how to continue training at home and received follow-up support from Linda and Sean. Over the past few weeks, the dog's response to the stimulation collar, combined with positive reinforcement, has been remarkable. The dog no longer bolts, is less anxious, more relaxed, and continues to demonstrate a brisk recall, making her a better companion for a new phase of life. Many clients have had amazing experiences with Spring Valley Kennels. A family with a 13-month-old golden retriever puppy, who was out of control and considering rehoming her, found the 10-day boot camp with Linda to be the perfect solution. The e collar training helped the puppy walk properly, listen, follow instructions, and stop ruining the home. The customer service is highly praised for being outstanding, with the team going above and beyond expectations. Overall, Spring Valley Kennel is highly recommended for all of a dog’s needs, especially for those seeking effective training and caring boarding services.
We have used Spring Valley to board our dog for the last 8 or so yrs. Teddy never had a moment of anxiety, was always happy to arrive and was greeted by name. Their team is caring and kind, always flexible with our last minute scheduling and communicated any changes or issue with Teddy immediately. We never hesitated to leave him there, even as he became older and more frail. Highly recommend!!
Linda and Sean are experienced hunting dog trainers. They were recommended to assist me with my 4 year old retriever who exhibited undesirable and potentially life threatening behaviors despite years of positive reinforcement training. These behaviors included bolting out of the car or house with no response to a recall. With a major change in my living situation looming, I was desperate for help to modify her behavior. If that had been unsuccessful, I planned to re-home her. I enrolled my dog in Linda and Sean’s 10 day “Boot Camp” training during which they addressed her lack of impulse control and willful, dominant streak.

We had an amazing experience with Spring Valley Kennels. Our golden retriever puppy (13 months) was out of control and we were considering rehoming her. The 10 day boot camp with Linda was the answer! The e collar training is working great to help her walk, listen, follow instructions and stop ruining our home! I would recommend Spring Valley Kennel for all of your dog’s needs. The customer service was outstanding and they went above and beyond what was expected. I am so pleased with the service I received from them.
