“Christie did a great job training my new puppy for his AKC STAR puppy class! This is the first puppy I’ve had to train, and I had no idea what I was doing. She made it easy for him to learn and, most importantly, helped me learn the proper training techniques. He would have been a wild puppy without her! “

“I’ve boarded my dogs with Bayard Kennel for over 2 years now. They absolutely LOVE it here! Christie is always so good to both of my dogs. She treats them as if they were her own. I couldn’t imagine taking them anywhere else.”

“Christie and her team always take great care of my dog, Earl. Due to my work schedule, I have to bring him to daycare with them during the week. He always seems to have a great time, and they are always quick to tell me if they have any concerns. I have boarded with Bayard Kennel multiple times as well, and, as expected, they are always great. Can’t recommend them enough!”

“I would recommend Bayard Kennels without hesitation! We sent our 7-month-old German Shepherd puppy to Bayard Kennel for the two-week board and train program, and the results far exceeded our expectations!! Christie and the other trainers worked with our boy on impulse control, basic commands, and socialization. Communication was great, and we loved getting updates and videos of the progress our pup was making.”

“Christie did an incredible job with our Golden Doodle Daisy for the training boot camp. I couldn’t believe the progress in just 2 short weeks! Kristie is very thorough with take-home instructions and homework to keep the training going at home. We couldn’t be more pleased!”
