Hershey is a chocolate Labrador Retriever and the newest addition to our family.
One of our key objectives was the need
to strike a balance between the
“field dog” that dad wanted and a compatible family companion that
topped the list with the rest of the
family.
When Hershey arrived home he was a 7 week old 15 pounder. However, we new that he would soon get much bigger and would present an interesting dilemma for our daughters, aged 10 and 8, since his size would make handling him a difficult chore.

   In our discussions with friends, family, breeders and field trial groups it
   became clear that a successful experience hinged on obedience training.
   We were skeptical of the run-of-the-mill obedience classes because we
   had seen friends and family members achieve less than ideal results. So,
   when a gentleman we had met during our search for Hershey suggested
   Dave Walker as a top-notch trainer we decided to give him a try.

   Dave's approach is practical and straightforward. Dave taught us to relate
   to Hershey in a way that the puppy understands. Hershey was about
   12 weeks old when we started him and now at almost 8 months and
   75 pounds, yes he's a big boy, we couldn't be happier with the results.
   Our experience with Dave suggests that half the battle is getting the entire
   family trained! Once the people are working on the same page the dogs
   usually respond well. Consistency from all members of the family and
   reinforcing the desired behaviors regularly are important elements to a
   happy outcome. We were very impressed with Dave's responsiveness to
   our training issues with Hershey. Dave was always there with practical
   solutions, even a simple phone call could resolve an issue. Clearly, we
   attribute our success with Hershey to our involvement with Dave Walker
   at CR Dogs. We can't say enough about Dave and his way with dealing
   with dogs and highly recommend his services to anyone who wants a
   happy, obedient, well-behaved dog as a companion.

   Sincerely,
   The Donaldson Family
