FirstBarkI highly recommend HODDT to anyone looking to further their dogs education or to anyone just needing help with their dog in general! Ken has shown me many things I did not know and helped me perfect some things we already knew! He is very helpful and has no problems explaining, helping and showing you what to do to make the most of everything for you and your pup!!

How much do your services cost?
The cost of training depends on how much your dog already knows and what it still needs to learn. Cost of services is discussed during a training evaluation or behavioral consultation.

What method of training do you use?

How long are your service programs?
The length of time in-person training is conducted with you, your dog, and the trainer is usually at a minimum of 5 weeks. Lessons are usually one hour and are once per week. The length of time for Behavioral modification training is contingent upon how much modification your pet is needing based on the outcome of the behavioral consultation. There is usually never a quick turn around with these types of cases as they take time to achieve results because a lot of times a pet has already had issues or bad habits for years before a trainer is contacted. The minimum length of time for board and train is usually about 3 weeks.

Ken is an excellent trainer that goes above and beyond to ensure you and your dog are getting the training and education to correct the issues that you are having whether it be basic obedience, behavioral issues, or aggressive issues. We were having aggressive issues with our 2-1/2 year German Shepherd and needed to figure out what to do. Ken took so much time with us and helped us figure how to manage Ryder's aggression. Ryder is doing a lot better and we understand so much more now about the type of dog Ryder is thanks to Ken. I have a lot respect for Ken and the work he does.
Ken was a fantastic trainer and teacher! We have two rescues and he was able to find a method that worked for each one and then taught me how to implement the training. It was so helpful to have someone there to observe my interaction with the dogs and offer suggestions so that I could be effective. When my hound didn’t bark at the UPS truck I knew we were on the right track! I highly recommend!!
Very helpful to my dog and me! He helped me a lot to understand how my actions were impacting Charlie, my Aussiedoodle. He also shared a lot of information and tips on achieving the level of obedience we wanted in our dog. Thanks so much!

I recommend anyone that needs their dog to be trained to use Heart of Dixie Dog Training. Very professional, to the point, explained every step, you can tell they love their animals. Ken and Tara are awesome trainers. Tara is the trainer that helped us with Abby and after only 6 lessons our Abby is controllable. I didn't think it was possible. I like how they teach you to train your puppy/dog.... when we are ready for more Training we will definitely be using Ken and Tara.
