In October 2018 I contacted Taylor at Fame Kennels & Training Academy in search of a German Shepperd Dog. Taylor took the time to not only answer all my questions about the breed and their needs, but she also to question me to learn more about our household (age of our children and other pets we had) to make sure the litter she had at that time would match our family. After a couple of quite insightful and instructive conversations we settled on welcoming a female puppy into our home.

Though we were super excited about our new family addition I was concerned about the interaction our new puppy would have with our untrained and obnoxious lab mix. Taylor went out of her way to help me train our lab mix before our GS puppy would come home. By the time Nikita (our new puppy) came home, she was already so well trained I felt I had failed on our lab mix training and decided to have them both trained at a higher level with Taylor. I was very comfortable leaving my dogs with her, her facility being more than welcoming (clean, comfortable and safe) and Taylor being the sweetest and most gentle training I have met.

After their training was over, Taylor spent several hours with me “training” me on how to reinforce what they had learnt with her. Both dogs were trained to the T! I was amazed by the way they responded to any command Taylor had taught them!

What struck me was the love, patience and fun she has when interacting and training her students.

It’s 2024, 6 years later, and Nikita is and has been the sweetest dog I have owned, I had no idea a German Shepperd could have such a gentle, sweet and easy temperament. She has welcomed a Boxer puppy, a kitten and a ferret with a motherly attitude. This is how sweet and gentle she is!

Fame Kennels and Training Academy and Taylor are admirable in both breeding wonderful German Shepperd Dogs and training all types of dogs. I will forever be grateful for Taylor.

I contacted Taylor is 2020 looking for an adult companion dog for my mixed breed dog (Elvis) She responded right away and matched our family up with Farrah. She came home with us and fit right in. Since bringing her home, I have taken our crazy, high-energy Elvis to her for training. She did an excellent job of walking me through the training with him. I had previously been to two other trainers with him. I can now enjoy our walks without fear of him dragging me down the street! She was very patient and clear with the techniques.

I have used her for boarding and have been very happy. My dogs love going “on vacation” to Taylor’s. I trust her 100% with my dogs. I also have another dog from Fame Kennels (Keke). She is a beautiful, sweet-natured, goofy addition to the pack. We love these girls! I will definitely choose Fame Kennels for my next pup!

My family was looking for the right German Shepherd puppy for nearly 2 years when we found Fame Kennels. Taylor answered my phone call and explained her program in detail and answered all my questions. We picked a litter and on Feb 11 of last year our Gunner and 9 siblings arrived. Taylor allowed us several visits as the puppies grew. She was instrumental at picking Gunner for our family and training him when time allowed. Now he’s almost 1 year old and we couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend Fame Kennels for purchasing your GSD and also for kenneling and training your dog. This business cares for and loves the animals they watch and train.

We had four personal training sessions for Goose with Taylor. She was amazing! She explained training tactics very well and took the time to go over many options with us. Goose did so well and loved coming to see her every week. She helped us so much and we are so thankful! Definitely recommend her!

I cant say enough good things about Taylor at Fame Kennels & Training Academy!!! I took my crazy out of control 5 month old bernedoodle to her for the 2 week puppy preschool board & train which I highly recommend doing for any puppy!!!! My Millie came back a different dog!! Taylor did amazing with her and was so patient with me teaching me how to continue doing what I need to for Millie to be a great dog!!! If you are on the fence about training your puppy go see Taylor!!! You will NOT regret it!!!!! Every dog deserves to be taught manners and good behavior!

I can't say enough great things about Fame Kennels & Training Academy. Taylor is fantastic! After boarding my young velociraptor with Taylor for 2+ weeks while we went on a dream vacation, we're doing some private sessions. The tools and training tips Taylor provided have made a world of difference in my strong willed boy's behavior.

Taylor's kennels are clean and safe. She handles the dogs with love, kindness, and finds a way to make everything fun and games for the dogs. Her instructions to me as the handler are clear, with the added explanation of why and how they work. She's able to see nuances in our interactions and help me be the best pet owner I can be while helping my dog achieve his best, too.

We'll keep keep coming back!

Taylor of Fame Kennels is outstanding!
Her facility is on point and she truly loves what she does. I enrolled my two labs, ages 5&6 for her 3 week program. They needed to start from the ground up, with a lot of quirks. Taylor was very involved understanding them and gave them the very best education along with myself to be sure my boys mind their manners. I will continue to return to Fame Kennels and highly recommend to everyone.

We have used other trainers before but with our rescue GSD we wanted a trainer who could work with her shy and sensitive nature. Taylor and her team were fantastic and read her correctly and what motivated her. The training was a success and we will be sending her back to build on it. It has made a huge difference with our Maggie.
