OUR STORY
60 Years of Passion & Purpose
Olympia Kennels has been New England's most trusted name in dog training and German Shepherd breeding for over 60 years. Founded and led by internationally recognized trainer Mike Pinksten, our team has worked with over 25,000 dogs — from first-time puppy parents to competitive Schutzhund athletes.
Located on 15 scenic acres in Chester, NH, our world-class facility offers indoor and outdoor training, climate-controlled boarding, and a competition-sized Schutzhund field. We don't just train dogs — we build lasting relationships between dogs and their families.
CLIENT EXPERIENCES
What Our Clients Say
★★★★★
"At the evaluation, I could barely get her through the door — she was barking nonstop. After two weeks in Olympia's board-and-train program, the transformation has been incredible. Tessie is more confident, more balanced, and able to safely exist in situations that were once impossible. I've known about Olympia Kennels for over 40 years. We will absolutely be back."
Melissa Talbot · Board & Train
"We had a German Shepherd sized hole in our lives that was filled by the new addition from Olympia Kennels. Very knowledgeable, professional, and communicative — they made the process very seamless."
★★★★★
Brian Roy · Puppies
★★★★★
"The training is very personalized for both you and your dog. If you are looking for a high quality, responsible breeder of German Shepherd puppies, look no further."
Deborah Leigh · Breeding & Training
★★★★★
"My pup is so excited every time we pull in the driveway! It's an extra bonus that they are professional dog trainers — I'd give 10 stars if able!"
