Testimonials
Unfortunately for those who live in the valley, like ourselves, the noise is absolutely horrendous. It’s like bombs going off all the time, like a war zone. It continues to get worse every year. We wish that the owners would be considerate and understand that those who live nearby are very affected by the noise. My mother is epileptic and the sound affects her severely triggering seizures. At least having hours of operation that are not all throughout the day would be nice. Or speaking with people in the area so we can find a solution. But when I try to communicate with them I can’t get ahold of them. We can’t even go outside on our property because of how loud the gun shots are, and they go on all through the day. It’s truly unfair.

Im grateful locations like this are preserved for the k9 community. It’s an incredible property. Thankyou to all the hunters and k9 competitors who help use and maintain these grounds.
– K9 Enthusiast
I am sure it is a great business, but the hours and shooting sounds are very difficult for residents in the area. We would love to talk with someone about how to remedy this situation. The shooting is extremely loud and affects all homeowners in the area. We have been here for tens of years and woken up sometimes at 7 in the morning to loud blasts of shooting. It is harmful for those with head injuries as myself.

About the Trainer
Pepper Retriever Grounds is a specialized dog training facility designed for retriever enthusiasts and K9 competitors, offering unique terrain features such as bowls and moguls that provide diverse training opportunities not commonly found elsewhere. The facility supports training for hunting, retrieving, and general obedience, with a focus on outdoor, field-based exercises. While the business is praised by dog owners in the K9 community for its expansive and natural training environment, it has received significant complaints from nearby residents regarding persistent loud gunshots during training hours, which occur throughout the day and affect those with medical conditions such as epilepsy and head injuries.
The business appears to cater primarily to dog owners seeking advanced, terrain-specific training in a rural setting, with an emphasis on retriever breeds and working dog skills. No indoor or in-home training services are mentioned, and the training is conducted on-site at the facility.
The facility does not appear to offer services such as grooming, boarding, daycare, or walking, and there is no indication of virtual or video-based training options.
