Jagr
Two years ago, I reached out to Tim to inquire about a hunting dog. I was lucky enough to get a yellow lab male from a litter only a couple months later. Tim and Patti trained Jagr in basic retriever training starting at 7 months old. They gave me the tools and knowledge to continue my dogs training into more advanced subjects with such a concrete foundation and the confidence to know that I was capable of furthering his training.

Mack
I was fortunate to have been referred to Kingseed Kennels in the spring of 2018. Our young dog Mack was sent in for 6 months of gun dog training. Throughout the training Tim communicated updates and at times sent videos. Tim was available for phone calls and discussions as needed. Expectations and limitations were clearly identified and discussed.

Amos, Harry, & Lucas
I have been very satisfied with my Kingseed Kennel experience over the past 12 years. My 11-year-old black lab Amos is winding down, while 4-year-old yellow lab Harry is near his prime. They are both titled in HRC with training from Tim and excel at waterfowl and upland hunting. And now 7-month-old Lucas, my third Kingseed dog, is being trained by Tim.
– Ron Dozeman
Tim and Patti at Kingseed Kennels are absolutely top notch. I have been impressed time and time again with the class of dogs they continue to produce. I was lucky enough to have Tim train my own dog and have personally seen him train numerous dogs that exceed expectations and just wow you! I continuously recommend Tim and Patti to anyone looking to have their dog trained to an elite level.
– Michael Shaw
Kingseed Kennels is top notch, when it comes to breeding and training some of the best retrievers you will find anywhere. I have personally had 3 dogs trained by Tim, and there is nobody I would trust more with my dogs. He is responsible for taking my dogs to a level not easily obtained. I can’t recommend them and the services they provide enough.
– Joshua Wolan
I would highly recommend Tim for training. From just general obedience to master retrieve training. He will not let you down. Tim is currently training my second dog which is going great. One of the things I like about the training is I can be involved. You can come to training and watch, learn and handle your dog and others. Hope he’s around to train my next dog.

Duke
I learned about Kingseed Kennels, Patti, and Tim through a friend who referred them to me as breeders, trainers, and great people. From the moment I pulled into the driveway to pick out our pup, Patti and Tim were knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. I would never hesitate to call Patti or Tim for guidance or advice. Great people. Great breeding. Great training. Great gun dogs.

Rex
I wasn’t sure what to expect but Rex has exceeded my expectations. Tim is an awesome trainer as well. I sent Rex to the training program over the winter (in AL.) and he came back with great results. Tim has been very helpful in training me as well and has been only a call or txt away with questions I’ve had or help I may need. HIGHLY recommend Kingseed for anyone looking for a great hunting dog!!

Maggie Mou
Maggie spent 4 months training with Tim, basic obedience and basic retriever training. I was very impressed with what she had learned. I am continuing her training on my own and with a little help from others. Tim and Patti have been great, always willing to help with any questions that I have had. Our Kingseed pup amazes me every day.
– John Kelly
Ellie
Tim went above and beyond to help us find and train our sweet Ellie. He could not have been more professional more quick or more engaged. I cannot say enough about his training methods. I would highly recommend him. I would be happy to be a reference to anyone who is considering him.

Haven
Tim trained my Newfy Mix Haven and she is the best dog ever! Because she is so well trained I’m able to take her to a lot of places and she gets to live such an amazing fulfilled life! I highly recommend Tim! He really cares about dogs and having them be the best they can be! He puts in so much time and effort to make sure you are getting the best service you can.
– Hailey Alpher
Had a great experience with Kingseed. Not only do we have a great dog but his training has been top notch and Tim is always available for follow up questions when needed. Highly recommend Kingseed.
– John Egan
Having trained pups from Tim and Patti at Kingseed Kennels in the past it was an easy decision to purchase a pup for my daughter from their breeding. What impressed me the most was how Tim and Patti engaged my 9yr old daughter Avery. They knew that this puppy was Avery’s project. Tim thoroughly explained everything to Avery and provided a very well laid out puppy packet. I highly recommend Kingseed Kennels!

My family has worked with Tim and Patti Doane of Kingseed Kennels for over ten years with the three best dogs we have ever owned. Kingseed trained all 3 and bred the third. All labs, all great hunters and exceptional family dogs. Tim is an outstanding trainer who patiently enables every dog to reach their best capability. I have full confidence in trusting Kingseed Kennels with our family’s dogs and recommend Tim to friends.

Tim did an excellent job with our Nala. She is still in her crazy puppy stage but listens to commands without hesitation. He took the time to teach us how to continue her training to reinforce her learning and expand on it. Her training keeps her safe from running off and we have a happy puppy home also.

Tim and Patti Doane are two of the best trainers in the Midwest! Professional, kind and hardworking! They will make your dog the best he can be and they will take the time to make you a better handler also. Looking for a well bred pup? Need retriever training? Need general obedience training? Look no further. Right in Jenison, Michigan you have the best trainers in the Mid West!

I could not believe the change in my dog’s obedience after Tim trained her. She no longer pulls when walking, she comes when called – even when chasing bunnies/squirrels! – and knows “leave it” when sniffing or trying to eat something. If you have a dog, the best thing you could do for him/her is bring them for training by Tim. I call him “the miracle worker!” It is the best money you’ll ever spend.
