We are owners of a 3 year old Yorkie, Macy, who had basically no training prior to taking Obedience 101. Hope and Candice did a great job of teaching skills that were easy to learn but also challenged Macy (and us). While we were in a group setting, we received a lot of personalized instruction and gained a lot of knowledge about how to better care for Macy. I would recommend this class to anyone who has some frustrations with their dog's current behaviors and is in need of a little guidance. We also had a lot of laughs having our dog socialize with all varieties of dogs!

We highly recommend High Hopes Dog Training. Our Redbone Bo had a few "rough edges" coming to live in a suburban home and Hope helped us find ways to help make the transition smoother. She is a terrific trainer and our entire family enjoyed the training sessions together. Hope gave us exercises and games to play with Bo to help him understand his place in the home and feel more comfortable as a part of our family. Bo is doing great and we can't thank Hope enough.

Hope provided private lessons in our home for my elderly mom and pup. It was a great experience. Hope is very professional, knowledgeable, positive and effective. She is methodical in her approach and provides lesson notes to aide with consistency in training. She gave us insight into the dogs’ behavior and information on raising a healthy, happy pet. Hope not only taught us a lot about our dog but some about ourselves as well.

High Hopes Dog Training is the absolute best! Both in private lessons and group classes, Hope tailors her instruction to your dog’s individual personality and your training goals. She uses innovative and positive training methods to make your dog want to work for you and behave. She truly loves dogs and will love your dog almost as much as you do! She will always quickly respond to e-mail questions and offer continued support for you and your dog outside of class or the lesson. Plus, Hope’s warm, friendly personality and great sense of humor makes each lesson enjoyable. If my two Havanese puppies and I could take more classes with Hope we would--but with her help my dogs are just too well behaved!! Both are now ready to become Canine Good Citizens and therapy dogs at just one year old!
