Rock Vly Kenl And Shooting Sport is a facility located at 2149 610Th St in Granite Falls, Minnesota, specializing in gun dog training, boarding services, and taxidermy. The business operates on an 80-acre property featuring diverse prairie, creek, and woodland areas, situated approximately two hours from the Twin Cities metro area.
The facility offers affordable gun dog training for all sporting breeds, regardless of age, utilizing a 'no-pain' approach with positive reinforcement. Owner Jeff Berthelsen emphasizes that collars do not train dogs, but rather people do, focusing on teaching dogs through demonstration and instruction first.
The business provides boarding services in clean, comfortable kennels equipped with heat and air conditioning. They also offer taxidermy services for bird, fish, mammal, and game heads, a service Jeff Berthelsen added after graduating from the American Institute of Taxidermy in February 2011.
The business is located on State Highway 67, about 1.5 miles south of CR10 near a creek valley, making it accessible from both Granite Falls and Echo, Minnesota. The facility features a modern kennel setup designed to accommodate various training needs.
The facility has been operating since Jeff Berthelsen moved back to southwestern Minnesota in 2002 to train dogs full-time, having previously worked for a professional trainer for seven years. Over the years, he has trained approximately 800 dogs using his specific training methods.
The business is suitable for all sporting breeds and dogs of any age, including those needing live bird training, upland training, or water training. It caters to both professional gun dog training needs and general pet boarding requirements.
Reviewers consistently praise the trainers for being knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate, noting that the facility is clean, well-maintained, and provides a safe environment. Many customers highlight the structured yet fun classes that help dogs become more well-behaved and obedient.
Some reviewers mention that the training methods are effective and that the instructors take time to understand each dog's individual needs. The facility is described as top-notch with high-quality training equipment.
The business offers flexible scheduling to accommodate various needs, and the training takes place in a modern kennel with heat and air conditioning. The facility also provides a diverse 80-acre area for training activities.
The business operates on a strict principle of positive reinforcement only, avoiding pain-based methods. Jeff Berthelsen's approach focuses on showing and teaching dogs first, with electronic collars used only as a tool for reinforcement later.
The facility is located on a diverse 80-acre property with prairie, creek, and woodland, providing ample space for upland and water training. The modern kennel setup ensures comfort for both dogs and owners.
