Carriage Hill Kennels

Our 5 month old golden retriever loved her day training program with Jack and Jimmy! She learned so much in her 4 weeks with them and was very enthusiastic to go every day! Our daily walks with her are now so enjoyable as she heels perfectly and sits and stays nicely. She also learned how to hold a down stay by our feet in the kitchen while we are preparing dinner. Jack and Jimmy really took their time with her and with us to show off her new skills and we have easily been able to continue them at home.

I especially love how easy it is now to walk a puppy and our 9yr lab at the same time with no pulling. The staff and everyone is so friendly and welcoming. She even loved her swim lessons! Thank you to all at Carriage Hill for taking such good care of our puppy! Highly recommend & follow Jimmy on The Crafty pup for more tips!

Very happy with the work Jack at Carriage Hill did training our goldendoodle Peanut. The transformation in his behavior (Peanut's, not Jack's) was dramatic. He's now a joy to walk and has calmed down a lot even in the house. We also use CH for regular grooming. Highly recommend!

There is not enough wonderful things I can say about Carriage Hill Kennels. We have been bringing our dogs here for over 35 years and not once have we been disappointed! They are professional, knowledgeable, caring and the very best groomers. With that said we have a 6 month old Golden that was quite the handful, so we put her in Jimmy's hands! Nothing could have prepared me for how he trained my Gracie! We brought home a different dog! Jimmy's skills are the very best, he truly is a dog whisperer! Thank you to Jimmy and the whole family for all you do with our loving pets!

After a challenging grooming session, Francine recommended that we seriously consider formal training for our 4-month old Labradoodle puppy "Louie". While there are many options available for training dogs, we decided on Carriage Hill's Board and Train Basic Obedience Program. We were impressed by Jimmy's initial evaluation explaining to us that Louie lacked confidence which made him scared and he took this out on us and our 12-year old Wheaten Terrier "Tucker". Jimmy assured us that a block of time away from his environment, focused on training, would raise Louie's baseline of behavior, and give him the tools needed to develop into a well-behaved, obedient dog.

He was right! Jimmy's methodical, consistent, and caring approach has turned Louie's behavior around. Walking him now is a pleasure rather than a stressful adventure. He sits on command and is very well-behaved when we meet other dogs, no longer jumping up and wrapping his leash around them. On a recent walk, the owner of another, older puppy remarked how well-trained our puppy was as Louie calmly greeted them!

In the first follow-up training session we were impressed by Jimmy's command of Louie and his clear explanations to us on how to handle him in different situations. His guidance and patient, easy-to-follow responses to our many questions has been critical over Louie's re-entry into our house. His treatment of Tucker has improved significantly too which makes us all happy.

While not a finished product yet, the Boarding Training program has laid the groundwork for Louie to become an incredibly well-trained, obedient dog. We could not recommend this program more!

Excellent spot for boarding and training your dog. They also have a pool and will teach your dog how to swim. The trainer Jimmy is absolutely wonderful and did a great job with my dog. I can now walk my dog on a leash without him pulling or barking at other dogs. Jimmy also taught my puppy to come when called which is a wonderful thing! Would highly recommend training and boarding your pet here.

I am so grateful that our dog, Cooper, did the 4 week board and train with Jimmy at Carriage Hill. We were initially on the fence about it given the time and cost, but after talking to Francine and Jimmy about their approach and what to expect from the training experience, we decided it would be great for Cooper. He was still a puppy with lots of energy, and our attempts to train him on our own just weren't yielding the results we needed. Sending Cooper to Carriage Hill was without a doubt the best decision we could have made for our dog. Cooper came home with highly tuned obedience skills. Jimmy gave us a lesson to teach us how to continue to reinforce the training and it has felt very doable to keep up with since coming home.

It's clear that Carriage Hill takes pride in training dogs, something that has such a profound impact on having a dog in the family. We recommend Carriage Hill's training to anyone considering it!

Our Puppy Wade Parker did the Month long board and train at Carriage Hill Kennel with Jimmy. The entire staff was amazing from start to end. It has been about 4 months since our puppy did the training and we are so extremely happy with how well Wade has been trained. What I appreciate the most is how responsive and attentive Jimmy and Carriage Hill were while Wade was away with them.

We received updates during the week and tips/tricks how to continue the positive behavior at home. If your looking for a training program for your dog this is the best place to take them.

The training at Carriage Hill Kennels is top of the line. I took my goldendoodle Waffles for the puppy imprinting classes and then again for the training at 6 months and he went from crazy to disciplined. My family and I have nothing but amazing things to say about the trainer Jimmy and his new helper Jack. Jimmy consistently demonstrates his passion of working with dogs every single day.

He goes above and beyond in every aspect of training them. Jimmy would even send me videos of his progress throughout the day and send me pictures. I just loved how involved Jimmy made us feel in the whole training process. I would 10/10 recommend everyone in the area to consider taking your dogs to Jimmy, because for us he helped tremendously.

We had the best experience with our new puppy! Not only did we get him from Carriage Hill Kennels, but the training was amazing! When we first brought him home as a new pup, he was happy and wild. But wild in an uncontrollable way. Once he went through the three week training program, he was still the happy puppy, but manageable and obedient. Jimmy our trainer gave us excellent training as well.

He showed us exactly how to mimic the three weeks so that our Charlie didn't fall backwards. It's always a learning curve with a new pup. Even for us, who had a 5 yr old dog already at home. But the examples were easy to follow and the reasoning behind it made perfect sense. We look forward to continuing training as Charlie gets older so he can be the best of the best! It's a commitment to a lifelong companion. Thank you Carriage Hill and Jimmy for your good care, kindness and expertise with our newest family member.

My Labrador puppy started training with Jimmy at Carriage Hill as a crazy 12 week old lab puppy. Jimmy's program has transformed her into a calm happy obedient dog. His puppy program is excellent, very informative and results oriented. Following Jimmy's weekly lessons and practicing at home was so easy. As my puppy matured he continued to work with us and now my dog and me are fully trained! Jimmy really understands how dogs think and has taught me to communicate with her effectively.

He is very patient with dogs and owners and adapts to his clients needs. My dog loves working with Jimmy! If you are struggling with your puppy or dog Jimmy's training program is the best. I highly recommend Jimmy and Carriage Hill Kennels for training swimming and boarding. Many thanks to Jimmy and the Carriage Hill Family. A very special place for your dog.
