FirstBarkHillary’s program works! We took our Pekingese puppy Stinson there a few months ago and are so glad we did. Hillary and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They took great care of our puppy and taught us how to teach him at home too. We recently used the recall at the beach but I can’t load it so here’s a still picture of Stinson

Thank you so much for the specialized doggy care and training for our dear Stinson. You truly saved my life. Knowing he was in such good hands each day was a relief. I was so stressed about the timing of getting the puppy and finishing school but didn't have many choices. This worked out perfectly! Our family learned so much from you. Thank you for all your help and knowledge. I know Stinson loved going each day and will miss his buddies a lot. Your videos were all so helpful as well as the Saturday classes. I highly recommend Hillary's Hound House for anyone with a puppy and needs daycare help and training. She is truly professional and cares so much for all her furry friends.
We were in a tough situation with our toddler and a new puppy. Hillary was very knowledgeable and helped bring sanity back into our home with her puppy training advice. Our puppy attended her 1 month jumpstart program and is noticeable better trained in so many ways. Definitely recommend the program for people that need a little extra help. Thank you.
Hillary's program was transformative for our puppy, and for us. She took the time to learn about him and then tailored the days to the activities that worked to exercise his mind and his body, and she helped us learn how to do the same at home. Huge steps forward in a matter of weeks.
Our new puppy went from terrified on her first day of school to extremely excited to get dropped off! With Hillary and team, she gained confidence, learned new skills, and was socialized with other puppies. I think of Hillary whenever she rings the bell to let us know she needs to go potty! The experience was very worthwhile and enjoyable for both puppy and humans.
