Reviews

We highly recommend Justin and Massbach Kennels for their dog training & boarding. We did the obedience training for our Irish Setter puppy who stayed on site at Massbach for several weeks. We got frequent video updates throughout her stay showing her progress as Justin and his team worked on her on-lead obedience and off-leash commands. We were also able to visit midway through the training to learn the proper handling techniques. Justin was incredibly helpful and took great care of our dog. She is now able to walk without a leash, come when called, sit at heel, and is much more obedient and calm. We continue to be impressed with how well she was trained and how much she learned.

We had a wonderful experience purchasing our puppy from Justin at Massbach Kennels. He was so responsive and has followed up often to check on how she's doing. As for the puppy, she has such a sweet disposition and is of course, cute as can be. We're so thankful we found Massbach Kennels for our new family dog!

We boarded our 4 dogs for the first time ever and couldn’t be more pleased with the care Justin provided. Facilities and kennels are spacious and kept very clean. Our dogs were happy when we picked them up but I don’t just mean happy to see us, they were just plain happy. So grateful to have been able to enjoy a weekend away and be at ease knowing the pups were in good hands. We will definitely use Massbach Kennels again in the future.

5 Stars across the board for Justin and Massbach!! We’ve had our little guy home for almost a month and he’s doing great. The vet said he’s in perfect health and he’s really fitting in with our family and our 8 year Chocolate Lab. Justin was and has been great during the entire process, super responsive and was really helpful as we prepared to take our guy home. If you’re looking for a new puppy, I would completely recommend him. 100%!! Thank you Justin!!

I was looking for obedience training for our lab puppy but wanted a trainer who had a sporting mindset and wouldn't squash any drive. Justin worked out a training program based on what was important to us—he focused mainly on obedience and did a little bit of retrieving work. We are so happy with the results. Our pup came home with basic obedience knowledge but the most valuable difference is he listens and knows we're the boss. Justin walked us through how to work with him and has answered all of our follow up training questions. I wouldn't hesitate to send our pup back for more upland or obedience training if he needs it when he gets older.

I sent my dog to Massbach for training to be a better field dog and duck dog. He went from a decent dog to a great dog. He never gave up on him and found a way to help my dog become a better dog. I learned alot and anyone who needs to send their dog for a first time experience for both me and the dog it worked out perfectly. I highly recommend Massbach. Daily updates to weekly updates with video and photos. Hands down top of the line treatment.

Nothing but great things to say about Justin and Massbach Kennels. The entire process of selecting our dog, training, and going to pick up Dutton was absolutely seamless. Justin even went above and beyond and included some training that we didn't expect. We will certainly be back in the future!

If you need to board your dog so you can have your own fun and games, Massbach Kennels is the perfect place for your pet to have their own fun. Each dogs kennel is more like a suite with lots of room, a raised bed, and a very clean atmosphere. The kennel is on a large rural site with lots of room for dogs to interact. Justin Kehl, the owner and his family make sure your pet is walked frequently. They are also flexible with drop off and pickup times. And all of this care comes with a very reasonable fee. We will continue to trust our girl Emma to the Massbach kennel family

We had the best experience ever! Justin was really great at communicating and sending regular update and videos showing the progress of our Irish Setter, Finn. He taught her how to walk off leash at our sides which is a complete game changer for our family. Prior to training it had gotten to the point where I could not longer walk her because she would pull too hard on her leash. This has completely changed the dynamic in our home now that she’s getting plenty of exercise and we’re able to take her for regular walks. Justin took the time to listen to our concerns and he worked with Finn on lessening her anxiety when it comes to grooming. Great experience overall and we could not recommend Justin more!

Just when we thought there was nowhere local any longer to board our dog, we learned about Justin and his training business and were very happy to learn he also offered boarding! We gave them a call and had arrangements set up quickly. When we got to the facility, it was impressive, very well organized, and equipped for a good number of dogs. We met Justin's wife Sarah for the drop-off and finalized the schedule. It was a 2-night stay for Stella, and when we picked her up, we could see she had enjoyed her new doggy hotel! It's definitely a great asset to the area, and Stella will be making a return trip the next time we have to be gone. Thanks again Massbach Kennels!
