Testimonials
“A++ experience with Easton at smokin feathers, incredible facility, weekly updates, and just as straight up as a man word gets. Bought in on a sought after breed and lucked up on a yellow female lab. Didn’t hunt her the first year and tried trainer her myself, didn’t work out how I wanted and she became severely gun shy so immediately took her to a different trainer I had heard from that was different from Easton’s Smokin feathers. She was there 8-9 months and the guy did a good job with her just couldn’t get the gun shyness out of her. I could tell she really wanted it though so I reached out to Easton and he told me not to worry to bring her. That being said within three months I got back a dog that would pass any hunt test. She is with out a doubt the dog that’s wanted at the hunts, doesn’t break sits on a whistle, Cast, And it’s just an all-around A+ retriever. If you have any problems with your dog, having gun shyness even mine at almost 3 years old Easton fix it and more. Highly recommend sending your retrievers to Easton at Smokin Feathers. Definitely do not make the mistake I did. Take your pup to Easton while it is a puppy and you’ll get a result 2x what you will expect. 5 stars all the way, THANK YOU EASTON AT SMOKIN FEATHERS!! 5 STARS”
