Joe talked with me by FaceTime. He was so helpful and easy to talk to. He gave me pointers that helped me understand my dog better. His suggestions helped immediately, and Shalom is more confident because of the implementation of Joes ideas.
I wholeheartedly recommend Joe to anyone seeking to improve their canine relations!!

Had a great experience with Joe. My puppy was a handful but Joe gave me great ideas on how to understand what’s going on in my puppy’s mind and he gave me many good training techniques.

my dog and I participate in a sport called IGP which demands execution at a very high level of Emotion and power and yet, Precision. Every time I work with Joe, I come away not just with solutions to specific training goals, but Joe pushes me to be a better Trainer.

Hodge Canine was tremendous! Joe was always kind and patient and reaaaally good at training dogs! He knows his stuff and it shows as my dog is so much better behaved - now we can go on walks without my dog dragging me around :)! I did the in person trainings which really helped me learn what I needed to do to gain the trust and knowledge of my pup. We both learned and it was a win-win! Emily was also great and very communicative with our session dates and was understanding with quick session changes.Highly recommend this lovely small business!
