Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
What’s the best age to start puppy training?
The ideal time to begin puppy training is between 8 to 16 weeks of age, when their brain is most receptive. Early training builds foundational habits like crate training, housebreaking, and socialization that last a lifetime. The earlier you start, the fewer behavior problems down the road.

Highly recommended! Inga and her Hippie Dog staff have creative, effective solutions to real pet training challenges. From basic dog skills to complex behavior problems, Inga has the ability to evaluate your pet and develop a plan to help you train your pet.
I have worked with Inga in the past, and she is an exceptional dog trainer!! She truly listens both to the humans as well as the dogs - which is super important to me! Don't hesitate - book with her now!

I've worked with Hippie Dog for years and can't recommend it enough. The first time was 1:1 with Inga after years of the same issues with my previous dog. She gave me such helpful and straightforward advice, she changed our relationship (and my dog's bad habits) for the rest of his and our life together. When it came time to get my new pup I wanted a rescue so I worked directly with Inga to find the right fit for me. She came with me to view potential dogs and steered me from making some possible poor choices. Super helpful! I LOVE my new dog. After I got the new pup, he and I did Hippie Dog's group training sessions and I was really happy with the staff and their great dog advice. The techniques are effective and I got the specific attention my dog and I needed even though it was a group class. If you want positive, reward vs. fear based training and a great relationship with your dog, I recommend Hippie Dog!
I really love this business! Inga really knows what she is talking about and does. She has had many years of practice and specializes in a wide variety of things . She really helped me with my dogs anxiety. I highly recommend Hippie Dog to everyone! She's very professional and is great to work with!
