We booked 5 training sessions for our anxious/dog aggressive pit bull mix, Kodak. Joe was extremely knowledgeable in dog behavior and helped us to understand our dog’s train of thought through fun games. Joe has helped us to build a foundation for Kodak that allows us to work on his dog reactivity without becoming overwhelmed. In our last session, Kodak was able to fully relax and lay in the grass outside after our session which I have never seen him do before! I feel we have the tools we need to progress his training and help him become even less reactive overtime. Joe was great at answering all of our questions and addressing our concerns. 10/10 recommend!

Hodge Canine is a top notch, personalized dog training service. Joe is extremely knowledgeable and I appreciated the time he took to educate me as the owner on different techniques and to understand what my goals were in training my new dogs. I adopted 2 German Shepherds, 3 years old and litter mates, a bonded pair. I highly recommend Joe to anyone looking to learn the basics or to take your training with your dog(s) to the next level.

We had a fantastic experience with Hodge! Our trainer was very flexible with our schedule, personable, and after just a few sessions we really saw an improvement in our dogs behavior. The best part of this training was that he didn't just train our dogs, he trained us! He helped us understand how to go about the training and all the nuts and bolts involved so that we could help our dogs be successful, even after our training was over. My sister and I were both very impressed with how well our dogs have done since we've gone through this training and highly recommend it to anyone hoping to get their dogs (or themselves!) on the right track. Thank you Hodge!
