Several weeks ago, I picked up our 7-month-old Griff from a month with Fred, Austin and the ladies at Maple Lane. I cannot speak enough on how happy I am with how much progression she has made with hunting skills AND obedience skills. Fred and his crew care for these dogs. It shows in their passion for training them and the excitement when you spend time with them learning what your dog has. Do not hesitate to bring your dog here of any age. Our Griff is going back in a few months for more bird work and I'm sure she will be super excited when she gets there. Thanks Wing & Shot!!

You're not going to find a friendlier place to train or board your pet, from the receptionist to the groomers, to the trainers. I have a 8-month-old English Setter, and I was very comfortable leaving Patches there for Fred to train. Patches had it so good there I was afraid he might want to stay there! I was very impressed with the attention and training she received and I will be taking her back in August for more training. Thanks Fred and all the personnel involved at Wing & Shot.

So far, our little Rosie is doing fantastic. She is young, 8 months, but is picking things up quickly. Fred doesn't ask her more than she can handle. I brought her home today to spend some time with the family. She goes back in towards the end of February for some more one-on-one time. I'm going to have myself a good hunting partner.

Can't say enough about the crew and training. Took my 11-month-old GSP out the first weekend after she came back from training and she performed great! I would highly recommend Wing & Shot to anyone seeking a top-notch trainer.

Duncan started with Fred at 8 weeks old. He trained him to be a school facility therapy dog. Duncan is now a year old and is making an impact in kids' lives everyday. We are so thankful and blessed to have Fred in our lives. Duncan is one amazing dog because of Fred.

Fred has had Jessie for 3 weeks and what a different dog! Excellent techniques that work. If you need a trainer that treats your dog like its his own and gets the job done, call Fred today. I couldn't be more pleased!! Thanks Fred, and look out grouse.

Once again, thanks Fred and the entire team for working with my English Setter, Kara, this winter. Your love and knowledge of dogs makes you the best in the business. I would not think of going elsewhere. Results speak for themselves.

Fred is amazing and awesome to work with! He is so patient and knowledgeable not only with my dog, but with myself as well being new to this awesome sport. Highly recommend all to Fred seeking a trainer.

If you are looking for experience and results, this is definitely what you will get. BEST experience for us and our dog, Bridget. There are not enough adjectives to adequately describe how wonderful Fred and his team are. We are grateful for the compassion and patience and genuine love Fred shows to all the dogs. Our dog is now confident and competent in the field and in our lives. Wouldn't trust anyone else with our dogs.

I have known Fred for 8 years, and he always takes great care of my dogs. He is an excellent trainer and he always answers any questions I have had. Highly recommended.
