Matthew,

We appreciate the work you have done for us with Candy.  We noticed from the first month she was a changed dog.  She is by far the most obedient and loving Lab I have ever been around.  I have been duck hunting for over 30 years now, so I’ve seen some good ones.  This year was her first year to hunt and she was just almost a year old.  Her progression was amazing.  Although there were a lack of ducks this year, we did hunt her quite a bit and when we did kill ducks, she was a hammer.  One particular hunt she picked up 18 ducks and 1 goose, which was what we “knocked down”.  Once again we thank you for the work you have done with her.

Matthew,

I would like to thank you for your friendliness and professionalism and, most important, for taking the time to train Drake.

Please accept my sincere appreciation for the incredible positive method of teaching. You taught me that positive reinforcement was very essential in the process of training. I just didn't believe that you could change his bad habits in such a short time.

We both can share Drake's success. We have been practicing, and he is doing awesome. I can't believe how much he has learned in the past few months.  Drake continues to improve every day. I couldn't have done it without your guidance.

Thanks again for all your help.

MY DAUGHTER HAD A WONDERFUL TIME SATURDAY. I FEEL SHE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT TRAINING DOGS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF OBEDIENCE. SHE IS LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING DUCK HUNTING THIS YEAR. THANKS FOR TAKING TIME WITH OUR KIDS.

Matthew,

I am so impressed with how Layla has progressed. After her training, she came out very sharp and alert. She has become a very hard working and well trained dog, thanks to your help Matthew. Layla continues to show drastic improvement as she gets older. She's now ten months old and doing better than ever. Her love for retrieving is so fun to watch. After working with you, I noticed a big change in the way she approached her work. She now jumps at the chance to work instead of having to be drug to the field. It like she is a new dog in the field. I cant say enough about Grassy Lake and what it did for my dog. She seemed to be in great health and mental state when she returned home. Thanks again for all the progress you made with my dog. I highly recommend Grassy Lake to anyone who is looking for dog training. I am more than satisfied with the results.

With thanks,

Andrew Summersett
