Kevin has done a wonderful job instructing and training our dog. We highly recommend him!

The new owner trained my black lab Maggie, did amazing job. She also goes there for daycare it is always tired when she comes home and loves every minute of it. The staff is wonderful everything is clean and organized. And my dog is always tired and happy I’ve never been happier with the training I received when my dog was a needed it. I would refer any dog family to canine partners

Friendly staff and great customer service. They really care about the dogs that go there. If a dog is spending the night, the staff will go out and snuggle with the dogs in which I would love to know my dog is really being cared for. High recomend them for day care, boarding and training!

Great place to take your dog to play with other dogs. Our Bernedoodle has a blast at daycare. Great boarding service as well.

Clarify and redirecting my use of verbal, hand and e collar corrections makes an immediate improvement in our pup’s behavior. No more pulling against the leash, or rushing guests at the door or little kids wanting to pet him. Ally is a straight forward communicator and understands how important consistency is to see the best results when working on improving dog behaviors by teaching us owners.

Wonderful people working for a wonderful cause

Boarded our dogs really well during 10 days of Montana winter cold.

My service dog Cadence has changed my life in ways that cannot be put into words. This has all been possible by the amazing team at Wind River, from their one on one owner training, their board and train, their continuous training over the phone or through follow up training to insure my service dog and I are an amazing team together. I would hands down trust Them with any one of my dogs needs and training!!

I've been taking Nala to Wind River aka "camp" for 4+ years and it's been nothing short of an amazing experience each time. When I'm traveling, I take her there for boarding. Each dog has their own large play yard, complete with access to their own barn, and other dogs to visit with the entire length of their stay. Additional extras like Fun Walks with a kennel staff member or training refreshers add to this already stellar environment. Recently, I sprung for the 3 week Board & Train Program and Kelsey (who is just AMAZING) worked with Nala on her selective dog aggression issues and she's a whole different dog. It's strengthened our relationship and given her a job to do. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone, it's a dog paradise with the best staff and facilities I've ever encountered. I'm a happy dog mom with a dog who adores going to camp!

Amarok loves this place! He gets excited and talks until they come to get him out of the truck. It makes it so much easier to go work knowing he’s taken care of.

My wife says the place is awesome

Or dog has had a lot of successful training here. And it's the only place we board him because he gets to have such a great time. It's so helpful to know that when you say goodbye!

Wind river was a great way to get foundational training when our busy life caring for young children didn't allow us to put the time into our puppy the way we needed to. We sent a hyper, non-obedient dog in hopes that we would see some improvement. Kevin spent 2 weeks training the basics of sit (applied stay), place (applied stay), and walking on a leash. When he came back to us, we couldn't believe how well he behaved. With our commitment to ongoing training, our dog has continued to flourish. We couldn't be happier with the results.

I always feel relaxed, relieved and grateful when Wind River has my dog. I can travel without worry!

Wind River and Kevin Alford helped me to train my two rescue dogs, one of which was reactive. The skills we learned not only made my dogs better behaved but created a greater sense of calm for the whole family. Worth every penny. Happy dog, happy life.

Nice facility with an outstanding staff.

Absolutely an ama,8ng place with ama ing staff. My dog loves it there

Ally, Kelsey and team are incredible. Suka and I have worked with them since 2016. With each training session, I am more and more and more impressed with the professionalism, understanding, knowledge, and approaches they institute for the individual and their dog. Whether it's simple obedience training, specialty training, or boarding, they are by far, the best kennel I have ever encountered. I will continue to use them as long as I have dogs. Thank you WRCP!

I took my Catahoula mix to Wind River for aggression training, and they have completely changed our lives! The one on one care they provide while training is amazing, and I love knowing that when I’m out of town, Beau is treated as one of their own. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Had the privilege of working with Alle for service dog training and it was a wonderful experience during the process but the helpfulness after my dog Rocket graduated was beyond what was required.

The only place I trust with my dog aggressive pit bull! Great staff and great facilities.

Picked up my 8 month old Mini American Shepherd, Maggie, yesterday after three week board and train. Great experience! Our trainer, Elena Wickman, has been wonderful! Extremely knowledgeable, kind, accessible, and effective. Provided frequent photos and videos of Maggie's progress. Looking forward to our first followup training session on March 1. Highly recommend.

They took care of our furry ,kids they were very professional and affordable if you need someone to watch your little furry kids during the day while you go out and enjoy certain things and you don't want to leave your dogs in a hot car just go to them highly recommend it.

I developed epilepsy after An accident. My family did not feel as though it was safe for me to be out in the world by myself without help so we went to Wind River and asked them to train a dog to help me in the case I had a seizure. They did an amazing job. Katie (my service dog) even rode on an airplane with me numerous times. One flight attendant didn’t even realize she was there until we got off the plane because she was tucked under the seat. I was able to educate people not only on epilepsy, but on the requirements of a service dog and show them what Katie could do. If you need help with basic training or more advanced training, I would highly recommend Wind River. Their staff is friendly and encouraging. I can’t even express how thankful I am to wind River.

My shih tzu, Tucker, loves this place!! I was nervous with him being a little dog and most of the dogs there at the time being large. But they were very careful to place him with gentle bigger dogs 🙂 Everything went very smoothly. Tucker will definitely be back!

Wind River and Kevin Alford did an amazing job with my 1 yr old GSD/Lab mix. He's a completely different puppy. Money well spent!

Trainers are super accommodating and really take the time to work with me and my service dog.

To say I'm satisfied with my experience with Wind River Canine Partners would be a major understatement! Words can't completely describe how blown-away and ecstatic I am with the support and training I recieved. I brought my dog, Casserole, to Elena for private lessons to address Cassie's reactivity to dogs (and my anxiety surrounding it!). Elena is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and her experience really shines through. She was very up-beat and receptive to my questions and concerns, and her confidence and clear planning for my dog really set us up for success. I really appreciate how her training prepares us for real life situations. I seriously couldn't be happier! The group hikes are fantastic and easy to sign- up for, and I love them as an opportunity to continue reinforcing our training in a safe environment; I go as often as I can! Finding help for you and your dog that you can trust can be very scary and stressful, but if you need help with your dog, don't hesitate to contact Wind River Canine Partners!

I gained valuable experience with my pup training with Kevin. I appreciate the time spent learning the proper way to handle situations that I might encounter with people and dogs. I know that it is the person who is ultimately responsible for the reactions of the pup. The training has been very helpful to a great relationship with my new companion!

When we adopted our energetic Aussie/Bernie/Poo, we knew he would have high energy and would need training. Despite our best efforts, we were not successful at managing his behavior. We decided to invest in training for him in a board and train program that emphasized positive reinforcement. We went with Wind River Canine Partners. We had an interview with Kevin and decided on a three-week board and train. The transformation was remarkable. They were professional and compassionate from the beginning and they kept us updated with regular progress videos and photos. They focused on rewarding Duncan for good behavior and making him successful, which really made a difference. Duncan returned home with a solid foundation of commands and much better manners. Kevin also provided us with a training plan to continue his progress. It was a relief to see Duncan so happy, confident, and well-behaved. The board and train program was a game-changer for us, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the positive impact it had on our puppy!
