Jessica is a fantastic trainer. She is very friendly and patient when working with my young Shepherd husky mix and teaching my husband and I how to continue practicing what was taught.
We have also used the boarding services- my dog is always excited to to visit. I highly recommend Scatter Creek Kennels.
We went to three different trainers for Gunter, our Corgi/Jack Russell mix. They were the only ones able to reach him. Gunter was starting to get in bad habits and get aggressive. Jessica, our trainer, nipped that in the bud and turned this dog around! Without her efforts, we would have had to put our dog down. Now he is the best trained and well mannered dog that we have ever owned. Highly recommended!

I would love to hear about when the change in management took place and who the new management is? Your website and recent reviews indicate Jim is still the trainer and owner.
Original post:
This spring I took my own dog (lab/pit mix) and a dog (younger lab) i had just adopted out of Texas to scatter creek because after only about 5 days, the new dog kept attacking my dog. Jim was very presumptive about the situation referring to my dog as the aggressor, he mocked working with people who have “rescue” dogs but assured me he works with a lot of rescues, referred to only his newest dog at the time as a pet (I assumed someone who cares for other people’s dogs would treat all dogs as pets. Red flag.), he suggested i hit my dogs, and when i was uncomfortable with the way he treated my dog he tried to distract me by showing me videos of other dogs he had apparently worked with.
I was entirely uncomfortable with our session and would never go back or recommend scatter creek.

Sorry to here your experience at the kennel wasn't positive. Would like to inform you that the kennel is under new management and would love if you would give us another chance on any other training or boarding needs.
Jessica Wynn was the perfect match for my Golden Retriever Murphy. She is very experienced with Golden Retrievers, calm, patient and makes the training look easy. Despite trying to do my best I needed a professional to help. Murphy was very possessive of items and would jump and nip at people when he would get excited. Jessica was able to work with him on his anxiety that was causing some of his bad behaviors. I can’t believe how quickly he responded to me once he was home. His progress is amazing.
