I'm very picky about anyone who gets to interact with my 'puppy' Bob. I've interviewed trainers and groomers before I would entrust his care with them. When I found Hillary, I knew that I'd found the perfect trainer for my sweet, smart and a bit stubborn boy. I've engaged Hillary in both private sessions and day camp. Both types of sessions worked well for us and she is always there to provide guidance when you have questions. Be sure to read her bio on her website as it's very impressive and gives insight to her skills. If you have a beloved dog who needs help learning or refining skills, Hillary is the BEST. I cannot say enough good things about her.

"On a scale of one to ten, Hillary gets an eleven! She's worked with our 2-year-old silver lab, Posey. Posey can now be off leash and will leave food on the ground (or in your hand) alone until she's told she can have it. Never thought that would happen! Hillary has a true affinity for working with dogs and a real affection for them. And Posey loves her!"

"Hillary is the best. She has guided us to solutions for several annoying dog issues and even taught our pup to walk on the treadmill. Awesome trainer."

"From the moment I met Hillary, I knew she was a 'dog person.' Not everyone is immediately comfortable seeing a 160 lb Old English Mastiff running up to you to say hi! Hillary's calming and positive energy made for immediate trust-both for myself, and for Kona. There was instant love between the 2 of them. Given Kona's size, it was important to feel comfortable that Hillary could have control over her. With just a few prompts, positive reinforcement (and the hot dog treats in her pocket), Kona was smitten. Kona now literally waits by the window each morning until Hillary drives up to take her out on daily walks/runs. Hillary's understanding that each dog has its own unique personality and quirks, combined with her enthusiasm to educate herself on all things canine, makes her an exceptional dog trainer." (Yelp)
