What age does puppy training start?
Puppy training can start as soon as you bring them home! I offer in home lessons for puppies who are too young to be fully vaccinated and puppy lessons for when they are ready to start training at our facility.

This place is amazing! My German shepherd mix was a crazy, reactive, with aggressive tendencies, I enrolled him in the 30 day board and train with Bre, he came back a completely different dog! He was so well trained, learned his commands, walked calmly on a leash, and listened so well! He is my shop’s shop dog, and he is doing amazingly well! I am so grateful for Bre and the other trainers who helped train him and made him into the well behaved and obedient dog that he is! I highly recommend this place!
Helping Hounds did a great job with our little (wild child)cocker Ellie. We have so much more control of her since the training she received there. Really brought some calm to our home. Look forward to be able to finish up our one on one training when weather is warmer.
Great experience training at Helping Hounds. We trained with Bre eight years ago and returned with our newest puppy. Lots of experienced and caring people. Deja was our personal trainer. Great job. Highly recommend Helping Hounds.

We love Helping Hounds!!!! Our bull mastiff/golden retriever mix has been having issues with resource guarding and overall just pushing our other two dogs’ buttons. We did the Academy program, followed by personal lessons, and now group lessons— and we’ve seen a HUGE difference with his behavior in these last few months. They actually noticed within 2 weeks of training him that he has vision issues, which is something we nor our vet had realized, and was playing a big part in his reactivity. They were able to cater his training to his specific needs, and took the time to make sure we understood how to do it at home with him too. Honestly we thought he might be beyond help because he’s so big and dopey, but it’s been a complete 180. We cannot recommend Helping Hounds enough (and special shout-out to Deja, Bear’s favorite trainer— although EVERYONE there is great). 🙏🏻 🐶
