Student Testimonials
"I really enjoyed this class. You covered things about gun safety and every day life stuff that I have never really even thought about. Now I feel I'm more aware of gun safety for my protection and others. Also to pay more attention to my surroundings. Thank you for taking the extra time to correct me with my shooting I will definetely practice that. I would recommend your class to anyone looking to take a concealed carry class." - Brandon
"Thanks so much for a very helpful, informative and interesting class. I was very fearful of taking the class since I had no experience with a semi-automatic weapon and had in fact never fired one. The calm and reassuring manner in which both Chris and Dorothy treated me on the firing range was extraordinary. Instead of what I feared would be a negative experience turned into a a very fun, exciting and rewarding event. In addition to the rewarding experience on the firing range, the information in the classroom is information that I wll use for a lifetime. It was never boring and was presented in a very knowledgeable manner. Thanks again for a very rewarding, helpful, stress-free, and fun learning environment." - Beverly
"I agree with those who say that Chris could charge $100 for the class. He is so informative and will make you more comfortable handling a gun, no matter what your level is. The time spent on the range was very informative and fun The information you take from this class will stay with you a lifetime. There were those who had never shot a gun in our class and those who were very familiar and comfortable with them. Each person in our class learned from Chris. I have friends that I'm sending to Chris and Dorothy, I would recommend you attending one of their classes as well." -Chad
"Great course! I was really impressed that Chris and his wife spent lots of time with all the participants on the range, but focused on a few key things to help each participant maximize his or her shooting. I liked how even the most novice of participants were confident leaving the course. Chris presents the real world, and I was disturbed. But take it from me, if you come a sheep, you will leave with the urgent desire to grow into a sheepdog fast. There are wolves waiting." - James
"I have to say that going into this my husband and I wondered why it was so cheap... when we left we figured that if he would've charged $100, it would've been worth every penny!! Chris went above and beyond our expectations and we learned so much.. We are going to be going back to take the Defensive Tactics class. Everything was very light and fun, we feel as though we made a friend as well as a lifeline!" - Misty
"Never hearing anything good about ccw classes I just wanted to get it over with. I was raised around guns all my life in fact some of my best memories are with them. So naturally I went in to the class knowing my gun and my abilities. Quickly Chris began to change my opinion on ccw classes and improved my abilities. Chris went over the have to know material of the course. He then took a step further it was clear to me that this course is intended for you to get the most out of it. The class was two instructors short it was raining and we got stuck in the mud at the range but we had a blast! In short if you want to take a class where the instructors actually care and teach regardless of your age or your level of training take this course. But don’t take my word for it just take the class." - Sidney
"What an informative class! Chris gave us so many "situations" to consider when you have the responsibility of aquiring a conceal carry license. He encouraged questions and I felt comfortable asking them. The rain did not stop us from going to the range! I had never shot a semi-automatic pistol, and again Chris was patient and made me very comfortable on the shooting range. The help that he gives on stance and grip makes such a difference in accuracy. Thanks Chris for an awesome class! - Paula
"I am 61 years old/young--and hadn't fired a sidearm in 40 years. I rented Chris' 9mm and was pretty nervous, but because he walked me through all of it, I felt greatly encouraged and put completely at ease on the firing range. That was a big breakthrough and confidence builder for me and I now know I have good information to base my firearms purchase on. As for the classroom, wow! I'm not easily impressed, but I liked the course content as well as the way it was presented. This is not a class for someone who wants to be the next Wyatt Earp, but it's a great class for someone who'd like to feel more secure about their own safety and the safety of their loved ones. I expect to be in the Intermediate class as soon as I can. The only thing I'd change was the weather! But my clothes are dry now and it's stopped raining, so even that's OK. Thanks, Chris!" - Stuart
"Thank you Chris and Dorothy for an exceptional day! Being a "senior citizen", I was somewhat apprehensive and didn't know what to expect from the class. I am so thankful to say it was an amazing wealth of knowledge and practical application that was taught with sincere care and attention to detail which included each individual's concerns. The information shared opened new concepts for me on many levels as to protecting one's self and loved ones. I so look forward to taking advanced training with you! Again, Thank you! God bless and keep you both and all that "serve and protect" - Vicky
"I attended and completed this "AMAZING" concealed carry class on Sat 11/19/11 and I was so impressed with Chris and Dorothy on how they addressed the classroom session and the firing portion of the class. I had only shot 1 gun in the past until today and I was so thrilled as to how much I learned from Chris and I was made to feel as important to him as the advanced shooters. I would "highly" recommend anyone who wants to learn to handle and shoot a firearm SAFELY you need to sign up with Chris and I promise you will not be disappointed. I was honored by Chris and Dorothy in receiving "most improved" shooter. I will be looking forward to taking any classes these two professionals teach. Thanks again Chris and Dorothy for " making my day" Kindest Regards," - Jane
"Had a great time. Learned ALOT! I have been shooting my whole life and I walked away shooting better than before. Recommend anyone considering taking a CCW class go no further. This is the one! Thanks Chris and Dorothy." - Cody
"The class was amazing! My wife and I highly recommend SDS Services for the concealed carry class. The instructors are very knowledgeable and are able to keep the entire class intrigued throughout the day! They provided individual attention in the class and at the shooting range. We are certainly looking forward to being Chris and Dorothy's students again!" - Tommy & Kim
"Excellent class I will recommend it too friends & family, instructors were very professional and go the extra mile to show you safety and proper use of a firearm." - Manuel
"I went into the conceal carry course with no gun experience whatsoever! I was very scared and uneasy about using a gun for the very first time but with the knowledge and training provided I was able to gain the confidence needed. It was a very fun and informative class with excellent instructors! I can't wait for the self-defense course! Thanks again, you guys were awesome!" - Johnnie
"I had a very good training course. The instructor was very thorough, and was ready to answer any questions that we had. I was also very appreciative, of the small class size. I have taken CLEET mandated training courses before, but they always had too many fellow students. This was the first course, where I did not feel lost in the shuffle. Kudos to SDS, for striving to keep the class size manageable. This way, they can concentrate on helping the attendees to understand their subject manner. I will definitely recommend them, to anyone that is interested in any of their courses. I also plan to take more of their courses, in the future. Thank you, SDS." - James
"When I took this class, I had no intention to actually carry my weapon. I was just looking for a gun safety class. After a few hours with Chris and Dorothy, I was convinced that I could handle the responsibility of carrying a weapon in my day to day life. I really appreciated the time that Chris and Dorothy took to explain every aspect of gun saftey to me, Thank you so much!" - Carollyne
"Incredible! I learned so much, as a first time shooter the instructors were exceptionally sensitive to my need of extra help. Chris and Blake both made me feel welcome. They both had a passion for the class they were teaching and it was wonderful to be in it. You can tell they care deeply about the subject and go out of their way to answer all questions.The individual attention at the shooting range was worth the price of the class alone. Everything else seemed like a bonus! Thank you Chris and Blake keep up the great work! We need every "Sheep Dog" we can get in these times. God Bless both of you and your families, for standing up for us all." - Rachel
"The instructors were knowledgeable and it was obvious from the start that the students safety (in class and in life) was a top priority. The amount of information that was presented was enormous, yet easy to assimilate. In a short time, they were able to help produce noticeable improvement in my firearms skill. Whether you are an expert with a firearm, or have never even held one, these folks can help! I highly recommend SDS to anyone who wants to learn the proper use of a firearm, or just needs a brush up. I can't wait to take the advanced class they offer!" - Edward
"What a great class! The instructors made it fun and informative. They were very patient with all of our questions and seemed to enjoy teaching us. They really were great on the firing range, took plenty of time with each student and helped put me at ease. Great job!" - Matt
"Wow !! What a great experience to share with your spouse ! Sgt. Eller, Chris and Dorothy are great instructors who explain everything in simple but complete detail. The hands on training and the personal interaction with our instructors was top notch. We learned so much and feel much more confident now. We are looking forward to going to our advanced class very soon. We highly recommend this class and these instructors to anyone who wants to learn the proper and safe way to handle a firearm. Thank you very much, our "Sheep Dog Friends" for all your time and guidance !!"....... George & Sylvia
"Outstanding class! The instructors were all very professional and patient with each student. Although I had shot a little before the concealed carry class, I found that I was more anxious when we got to the firing range than I thought I would be; however, Chris and Blake, took time to not only instruct each of us but to also encourage us as well. Even though it was like 197degrees on the range (just kidding). I would definitely recommend SDS to anyone interested in getting a thorough hands on concealed carry class. SDS, you all ROCK!".......Becky
"Excellent class there was plenty of time for one on one training due to the class size being kept small and we were not rushed at all.Chris and Blake (aka Roy)Are great teachers and very knowledgeable.They made time to answer any questions we had on the Law and or different situations .I am going to recommend this class to anyone i know who wants there concealed weapons permit.".......Kenny
"This was a great class. I had been told that this class was very helpful and informing, and they where right. Instructors are very helpful. They answer all questions, and help you to become a better shooter. Extra time is taken to help you understand what is needed to help you be a better shooter. Thanks for your help."....... George
"The class was very informative and educational. The instructors were very knowledgeable and made the class much more enjoyable than i had expected. The best part was all the one on one time i got with the instructors.
