Stonehill Kennel 345 Sharon Turnpike, Goshen, CT 06756

"I brought my 4 year old Czech German Shepherd to Stonehill Kennels an aggressive anxiety driven dog with an attitude towards dogs , landscaper’s and especially their equipment. Couldn’t take him on walks or to trails or parks unless they were deserted. After 4 weeks working with his trainer Landry he was markedly better. At that point I came up once a week for a 2 hour session with the trainer and my dog. It was more of a training session for me to acclimate myself to my dogs training. This continued for 4 weeks at which point he was released and I took him home.This is when the real work began on my part as Jax my dog he had been trained and I had to come into synchronization with him . With the direction and help of Landry his trainer Jax and I started to be coming closer as a sycronized team . It takes as much conditioning as his handler as it did for my dog but all the time and effort made it worth it with the help and guidance of his trainer and Stonehill. I now have a dog that is a pleasure to be with and take places as we operate as a team and the discipline and obedience of my dog makes him a pleasure to be with and do things with. I can’t thank Stonehill and their trainers enormously enough for giving me the freedom and pleasure of owning my dog. I will always remember them with a smile in my heart for what they did for me and my best friend Jax. It was worth the time effort and money it took to transform my cherished family member Jax"

"I was recommended by a friend to use Stonehille Kennel for my 95 pound Akita, who was extremely territorial, who was extremely stubborn and overly protective. With the training that they provided and the lessons that I continue to do with my trainer Landry my dog, is completely different. 1000% better behave. I am able to have controlled walks, I can have friends over my place and not worry about my dog behaving aggressive. My overall lifestyle with my dog has improved. I would recommend anyone who is looking for dog trainers that cares and can provide results. To use their services."

"If you're seeking professionals that genuinely care for their clients and take the time to educate and set you up for success for the duration of your dog's life, this is the place to choose. My husband and I own a 3 year old German Shepherd who has completed other training programs and we can confidently say this is by far the best and most effective experience we've had to date. Our dog struggled with obedience with distractions, simple manners around other dogs and humans, as well as exhibited dominant behaviors. The comprehensive training we received over the course of 6 weeks was beyond expectations. Furthermore, the follow up sessions are invaluable and at no additional cost - thank you! A few highlights... 1. The detailed intake process sets the tone for the level of care and specified training your dog will receive. 2. The weekly updates (texts/videos) were very appreciated and again, the level of detailed included on every aspect of our dog's behavior and training was awesome! 3. The sessions with us and our dog were extremely educational for us to understand the nuances of our own and our dog's interactions and how to set him up for success. 4. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, our trainer, LANDRY, is an absolute gem. Not only extremely knowledgeable, but took every opportunity to share his knowledge and expertise, providing any level of support and guidance needed, and was extremely encouraging throughout. For first time owners of a dominant breed, this was invaluable to build our confidence to communicate effectively with our dog. I'm sure Stonehill has a high standard for their trainers, but Landry delivered truly above and beyond and we are so thankful for this experience. Also, our pup returned to us even happier and healthier than when we dropped him off. He was well fed, exercised, and his long coat meticulously groomed and maintained daily. THANK YOU for taking such good care of him!"

"I rescued a mixed breed pup at 4 months old. I knew she would be the perfect fit for me, but I had no idea how strong she would become. We did puppy school and I tried everything I had ever learned in the past from training dogs, but this girl was bullheaded!! When I read about Stonehill Kennel I was very interested in learning more about that style of training. After meeting Chris and his staff, I knew this was what we needed. Everyone was completely professional, I never worried about my dogs well being while boarding there for her training. Landry was the BEST. He made me feel as though his only goal was to make sure we were completely happy with the final outcome. And we were!! I encourage anyone looking for exceptionally qualified individuals to train your dog, visit and consider Stonehill Kennel! Worth every penny!!"
