FirstBarkHilton and Christine run such an impressive operation. The level of dog training knowledge and skill is next level and we felt completely comfortable leaving our dog in their care. Major improvements have been made in our dogs behavior.

We were at the end of our rope with Pia, our little cute-as-a-button Maltese. She was cantankerous, moody, and unwilling to listen to us or behave. We were embarrassed when we had company or when service personnel would come to the house. We tried several area training programs, all with no success. We asked a neighbor, whose dog was always so well-behaved, how she got her dog to be so compliant. She gushed about Hilton and Christine and about the miracles they perform with unruly fur babies. After rolling my eyes and nodding, thinking that nobody works miracles with dogs, I decided to try them. The results are unbelievable! Pia's transformation is incredible. Her personality has changed, for the better. She is still a loving and lovable doggie, but now she is exceedingly well-behaved. Guess who's gushing about Hilton and Christine now!
We had an awesome experience with Hilton Butler. We sent our 10 week old puppy to their "puppy camp" to get some initial training and manner/obedience training. The Hilton Butler staff was very easy to work with, timely with responses and helpful as we moved through the process. I would absolutely recommend and would send any future dogs back to them.

Jasmine came to us from a chaotic situation as a 5 month old puppy. Her original owner, who loved her very much, did not know how much training she would need and then he died suddenly and Jasmine was left outside for 3 days and nights before he was discovered. We brought Jasmine home for a month and I wasn’t sure we’d be able to keep her..she was a wreck and just completely out of control. Hilton’s family was known to me through our school and so we enrolled her in basic training. Long story short, after 3 weeks with Hilton she has improved in her behavior exponentially! She now listens, obeys, gives cuddles without biting, walks well on a leash, and seems to have much less anxiety! We are so pleased!!! Hilton laid a great foundation for us to build on! When we dropped Jasmine off he gave us all of the details of how training would go and when we picked her up he gave us all of the tools and details we would need to be successful moving forward. I highly recommend Hilton Butler for any of your dog training needs! Worth every penny!
