Wes Chester is an excellent trainer and we would highly recommend his facility and staff! He has done an excellent job with our black lab, Henry. Keep up the wonderful job at Shady Acres Retrievers.

My Boykin Oakley is a Shady Acres puppy and both he and Molly have been trained by Wes. Not only is Wes a great trainer but he, Stacy and the boys are the some of the nicest people I’ve ever met.

Wes and his family do a great job taking care of the the pups and thier facility. I needed some help getting my Brittany Spaniel steady to point. I ask Wes to help me and he did just that. I would recommend a pointer to Shady Acres. Good people!!!!!

Our experience with Shady Acres was nothing short of outstanding. Melanie and Wes were both great and very knowledgable. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and are more than happy with the results of our Rottweiler. If you are looking for the perfect obedience trainer/training facility, Shady Acres Retrievers is your place.

Build a pattern of understanding with your dog
One of the key elements of training a dog to do anything is ensuring that they understand basic commands. We see the importance of not only teaching dogs these commands, but making sure their owners are communicating effectively for the best results.
