Victoria and her team are true professionals. I have been working with Hunter Mill retrievers since 2024 shortly after I got my Lab pup Coda and they have been immensely supportive and helpful ever since starting with training, followed by doggy daycare, followed by extensive dog walking during a period after some surgery during which I was unable to do it myself. There is a family feel to the business, which makes it all the more appealing. I strongly recommend this company if you have a retriever, or any large dog, as they truly understand the domain like no other in the area.

We just completed a 10 week session of training with Victoria. Penny has learned so much and really loves Victoria. She also enjoys her walks with Victoria's staff, and I like that the walkers reinforce the behaviors that we have been working on! We are looking forward to more advanced training in the future.

5/5Victoria was amazing with Inara, who we adopted in February of 2025. She helped us find ways to wear Inara out, and teach her some big obedience needs, which completely turned around her biting and rough play and now, three months later, Inara is like a new pup!

Victoria was amazing with Inara, who we adopted in February of 2025. She helped us find ways to wear Inara out, and teach her some big obedience needs, which completely turned around her biting and rough play and now, three months later, Inara is like a new pup! Inara looked forward to every session and was so eager to 'play' and work for those treats!
Her use of positive reinforcement may take a bit more work but it's so worth it in the long run as it creates an amazing relationship between dog and owner. We've learned so much about Inara and ourselves with Victoria's help and feel far more prepared to continue to help Inara learn and become the best version of herself she can be. Thank you!
Much love,
Inara and family <3

Our dog Leo just completed the 5-week Day Training program. The transformation was amazing! He is a much more confident dog, and our relationship with him has gotten deeper. Victoria answered all of our questions, communicated well, and made sure we were involved so we could learn how to maintain what Leo has been learning. We’ll definitely be back for more training and walks/daycare. Highly recommend Victoria to anyone!

Our puppy successfully participated in Victoria's 10 week course. We mastered the basics using positive methods. She was helpful answering questions and explaining what was happening with behaviors. Victoria was alway patient and thoughtful throughout. Our puppy Cosmo was so excited and elated to see her each week. We came away with a great understanding of training principals and protocols to help us carry forward. We look forward to working with Victoria again in the future!
