Hilton Butler, Inc.

We recently had our Rottweiler puppy named JAX trained with Hilton, Jax has always been extremely sweet but has a ton of energy and kept getting into everything. I trained our last 2 Rotties and they were wonderful dogs. I have always been the type of person that said dog training was for people who couldn't control their dogs. We were referred to Hilton by a friend who has used Hilton on all of their dogs. So whether i lost my touch or Jax just proved to be a challenge we decided to take Jax to Hilton. We couldn't be any more pleased with the results we got and would definitely recommend Hilton to anyone out there looking for some help. Best of all after the initial training is done Hilton offers additional classes for your personal desires. I was shocked when Hilton followed up and asked how everything was after Jax had returned home. I told him that Jax would be overly excited when picking our kids up from school and there were a several other dogs and tons of 5 year olds running around so Jax would be a borderline out of control unless i was yelling at him like a crazy person. To my surprise Hilton offered to go with me the following day to pick my kids up so that he could show me how to correct the situation like a sane person. We live an hr apart so to me that says he truly cares about his work and reputation. On top of everything else Hilton offers boarding for the customers. Its always hard to leave our dog with strangers so having Hilton and his family care for our dog while we are out is like leaving him with family. I would absolutely recommend Hilton Butler Training.

When my wife and I decided to get a high energy breed of dog (Vizsla), we knew we had two choices. 1. Spend money on having our puppy trained or, 2. Spend money on replacing items that would be destroyed while we attempted to train our new dog. I can say the training was money well spent. When we got our puppy back (and got her acclimated to our home environment) she knew where to got potty, would kennel up on command, knew her basic commands and, most importantly, did not chew our house up! We are such believers that we are considering the advanced training now that she is a bit more mature.

We started working with Hilton in 2015 after rescuing a young puppy dumped in our neighborhood golf course. We already had 2 dogs and were not prepared for what this sweet puppy grew up to become (90 pound pit/weimareiner mix). He was showing what we assumed was aggression only to learn he was demonstrating anxiety and fear. Hilton worked with Oakley for an extended period of time on basic obedience. Near graduation time Hilton indicated he thought it would be a good idea to bring the other 2 dogs to see how they all related (the pack). Within just a few minutes of the others arrival, it was apparent Oakley's anxiety and fear creeped in. He wasn't sure where he fit in the pack. Hilton asked for the other 2 to stay until he could get the three of them all ok with each other. It actually worked perfectly for us because we had a planned vacation and were going to board the dogs anyway. When we got back Hilton spent time with us discussing the pack mentality and how their pack was set up. He also reviewed the basic obedience commands and sent us home with a binder and dvd which I reference often. Our family made sure to continue to reinforce the training at home. Oakley and the other two had been great for 3 years. We moved recently and Oakley appeared to be digressing-becoming much more fearful therefore demonstrating defensive behavior. My immediate call was to Hilton who made a site visit within a few days of my call. We made some adjustments and learned new techniques (including using an e collar). After we worked with Oakley at home for a week or two, Oakley made an overnight visit with Hilton for some final tweaking. Hilton's understanding of the dog and ability to communicate to clients in a way that makes sense has been invaluable. We can not thank both Hilton and Christine for their service. They are my go to whenever I have concerns about our dog's behavior.
