Helping Hounds Dog Training

The trainers are Helping Hounds know their stuff, and its well worth the time and money. As long as you're willing to train and work with your dog, you'll undoubtedly see success with them. ---- My wife and I came to Helping Hounds because our Poodle, Plum, was reactive to both kids and other dogs. We desperately needed help to curb that reactivity and to help him handle the instincts and feelings he was dealing with. We worked with Bre, and she was absolutely wonderful. Very knowledgeable, and great at teaching us. She was kind and gentle with Plum, taking the time to understand where his reactivity was stemming from, and instructing us how best to work with him on overcoming it. Her instructions were always simple to follow and remember. She would give us some homework to do at home with Plum, and some goals to achieve between our private lessons. Her training styles are flexible and adaptable, and she works with you on making sure that your dog is getting the best care and training it can. Since completing our private lessons, it's almost like we have a whole new dog! He's gone from barking at every thing and person that walks by the house, or even by us in person, to staying by my side and being calm. Or, if something is just a bit too much for him, he will at least listen to me now when I call his name and attempt to work with him through whatever situation is agitating him. Seeing the change from Plum being anxious and pent up, to finally relaxing and enjoying the lavish life of a house pet, brings me so much joy. Thank you!
