Hunter Canine Dog Training

For a long time, we struggled with our dog Koda’s fear-based reactivity, which made everyday ocurrances, vacations, and even simple family visits stressful and limiting. While he’s always been a sweetheart with Zac and me, Koda would react explosively toward other people and dogs, making it difficult to fully enjoy life with him. We interviewed several trainers in search of the right help, but nothing felt like the right fit—until we found Hunter Canine. Despite living in Connecticut, we made the decision to bring Koda all the way to Delaware for their board & train program. It was the best decision we could have made. Hunter welcomed Koda into his 8-week program, and the results have been nothing short of incredible. We now have a completely transformed dog! Koda has gained confidence, and we’ve become calm, capable owners who can trust our dog in a variety of situations. We can now enjoy family hikes and more without reactive outbursts or constant stress. He taught Koda that he doesn't need to fear the world around him, and that he can trust us to advocate for him What truly sets Hunter Canine apart is their personalized approach. Because they only work with a small number of dogs at a time, each dog receives dedicated attention, care, and customized training. The dogs live in the trainers' homes, ensuring they get round-the-clock structure, care, guidance, and training. Hunter and his team don’t just train your dog—they train you. They take the time to explain the methods and reasoning behind the techniques, empowering you to maintain and build on the progress once your dog returns home. We are beyond grateful for the life-changing results Hunter and his team have given us. If you're searching for professional, compassionate, and highly effective training for your dog, we cannot recommend Hunter Canine enough!

We couldn't be more grateful for the exceptional help from Hunter! As soon as we found out we were expecting, we knew we had to start preparing our dog, Dawkins, for the big change. Hunter was incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and professional in guiding us through the process. From the very first session, we felt supported as we learned how to introduce our dog to the idea of a baby and adjust behaviors that would help us create a harmonious environment. Hunter provided us with practical tips, training exercises, and advice tailored to our dog's personality and needs. It was clear that he understood both canine behavior and the challenges of preparing for a newborn. Thanks to Hunter, our dog adjusted beautifully to the new routine, and we felt confident and prepared for our baby's arrival. The training helped with everything from handling our dog's excitement to managing new situations once the baby was here. We highly recommend Hunter to any expectant pet parents! Their expertise made a world of difference for our family.

Hunter canine and his team have helped us in so many ways. Our dog struggles with resource guarding, and not only have they helped us create a safer and happier environment, but they have also improved his overall obedience skills. The board and train has been life changing for our family, and Hunter gives every dog his full attention and effort. We worked with other trainers who told us that it would take years to help our dog, but Hunter was able to help us within 2 months at the board and train. His team has also been extremely helpful with watching our little guy when we travel! They truly are an amazing group of people.
