Testimonials

Kenny and team really love and care for the dogs. Our dog stayed for four months and we visited almost every week to watch the progress and learn what to do once he was ready to come home. Planning to take him back every year for refreshers and boarding.
– Eric D.

Best bird dog training and obedience training in Oregon. Kenny is a master trainer and is amazing with his dogs. If you have a hunting dog or a family dog that needs some help Kenny is your guy. If you are looking for a puppy Coyote Creek Retrievers is the only place to go.
– Ted J.

Hands down the best boarding facility in Lane County! Our girls are always well taken care of and we feel confident that their safety is of the utmost importance. They even received a bath while they were there! Highly recommend!

About the Trainer

Coyote Creek Retrievers is a family-owned and operated dog training, breeding, and boarding facility in Eugene, Oregon, established in 1986. They offer comprehensive dog training from basic obedience to advanced retriever and gun dog skills, using a gentle, goals-based approach that emphasizes understanding each dog’s unique personality. Their 68-acre training facility includes specially designed ponds and diverse terrain for real-world conditioning, and dogs receive daily individualized training and proper nutrition. They encourage owner involvement through weekly visits and hands-on instruction to ensure training transfers successfully to the home environment. In addition to training, they provide boarding services, AKC-registered Labrador Retriever breeding, and sell Dogtra training electronics. Their long-standing reputation and focus on both dog and owner education set them apart from other facilities.

They specialize in sporting breeds, particularly Labrador Retrievers, but accept other larger breeds for training and boarding. Their program is designed for dogs needing structure, focus, and outlet for energy, whether for hunting, competition, or companionship. Clients frequently return for annual refresher training and boarding, citing the care, progress, and bond their dogs develop with the staff.

Accomplishments
