We owe Hodge Canine so much! We have young kids and decided to get a puppy. I felt so confident that we’d be able to train our dog but completely underestimated how much time and effort goes into it. Joe helped us figure out how to support our training efforts and dial in the first 4 months of having a puppy. Then we decided to take a leap and try Hodge board & train. I truly not put into words how incredible this was. Our pup came back from 4 weeks of board and train and he was incredibly well behaved, ready to train, and really understood what we needed from him. It has been such a pleasure working with Joe and Hodge Canine. I have already recommended them to so many friends and family!

We did a 1 month board and train with Joe and Emily for our Border Collie puppy, Loki. Couldn't be happier with the results, Loki came out of the board and train a much more composed dog. Our training sessions with Joe along with the 1 month board and train also gave us the tools to continue working with Loki to make him the best family dog we could ask for.

Joe and Emily are such a great team! They did such an amazing job with Bella’s board and training, everything was amazing with the package they offered and Joe was so good with Bella! I couldn’t recommend them more to anyone who needs to get their puppies trained.

From the initial consult to the end of the 5-week board and train, Hodge Canine exceeded expectations. Joe made me feel confident right away that Whiskey was in the best hands. He came home with all his personality intact, but with a huge improvement in impulse control and behavior. I would absolutely recommend Hodge Canine to anyone looking for a trustworthy, effective trainer.

Joe did an awesome job helping me and my wife train our new puppy that we had. Joe was very knowledgeable, understood the needs we had and the training sessions we focused on the goals we had for our dog. We are very pleased with the progress our dog made and the new knowledge me and my wife have gained in training.
