Testimonials

We recently got our “Jazmine” back from her school days at Blackwater. I’m not real fond of the idea of boarding and train however, after talking to the staff and talking to Alex, I was put at ease over the operation. Had plenty of updates and spoke on the progress of Jasmine. Picked her up today and brought her home. I’m very pleased. Great people everyone there was supremely friendly and Alex definitely knows what he’s doing with these dogs. Definitely would recommend.

I highly recommend Blackwater for training!! … It is so much fun taking them out in public. One of our girls had some aggression and now with her new found confidence she isn’t having any issues. We have lots of work as a family because while Alex had them for 6 weeks he did not have us for 6 weeks LOL. I can’t thank him and the rest of the crew enough for taking great care of our girls and for teaching them what it means to be a great companion!

After researching trainers I finally found a place that would board and train my dog without me having to do all of the work. Charles delivered the kindest most re-assuring service from the time I dropped my dog off. Training with Alex was worth every penny. The trainers are highly knowledgeable, kind, and attentive to all our needs. My dog is now the calmest in public spaces, no longer pulling on a leash, and listening to my commands.
