Joe and Emily were amazing to work with. I signed up my dog Balos up for a 4 week board and train and the night before my pup became very ill and we had to reschedule. They were more than willing to make room in their already busy and booked schedule to accommodate us. The communication was wonderful and I received weekly updates and videos of the progress. Truly a wonderful experience and I'm beyond impressed with the results. During the home follow-up training Joe was kind and supportive and really helped us gain confidence in our training so we can continue to grow. I highly recommend them!!

I was referred to Hodge Canine by a friend to look into a board & train program for a new SpringerDoodle puppy. I was contemplating rehoming her since my older dog was not warming up to her. She has a TON of energy! I scheduled a virtual consultation with Joe who was amazing in talking me through their services, expectations, and the part I play in this process. Not only that, but he guided me through an exercise to help me make the tough decision to re-home the puppy to a more suitable situation for all...a family with kids and other Doodles! With Joe's guidance, I feel good about my decision. I will absolutely contact Hodge when I get my next dog and will recommend them to anyone who is looking for their services.

Joe is an amazing trainer. He has a way with dogs that will blow you away. It was fascinating to see my Mini-Aussie respond to Joe's methods exactly as predicted. I am thrilled with what me and the dog are accomplishing together. It's worked wonders for us. Thank you Joe.

We set up a training package for our Great Dane with Emily and Joe and we couldn’t be more impressed with them. They were able to work around our schedule and helped us provide a solid foundation for our training. Joe was great with providing education in an easy to understand manner while helping us be better dog owners. Thanks guys!

Hodge Canine was the best thing we could have done for our dog! Joe helped us with our 1 yr old mutt who had developed fear of people/people aggression. He also took the time to teach us how to be trainers. We did 10 private lessons. Scheduling was easy and they were amenable and flexible when needed. Joe taught us about why she was doing what she was doing and how to replace old associations/patterns she had toward people with new ones. Now our pup is worlds better and obeys commands, and we can confidently have people over to our house now!
