Leaps N' Hounds

Between researching methods, reviews, and teaching styles; finding the right dog trainer can be tricky. We propose meeting a trainer with experience in all approaches who can help guide you and your dog down the path that suits you best. Enter Leaps N’ Hounds: Dog nerds with people skills. What makes us different? We weigh all factors when creating a training plan for you. This includes safety, risk, time, budget, health, family dynamics, and training goals. We do not default to one approach, but instead, find the path and tools that suit you and your dog best. We are judgment-free. We will not shame you for being busy or overwhelmed. We foster honesty, mutual respect, and compromise with our clients. We help you set realistic goals and give you the tools and tricks necessary to reach them. No gimmicks, just tips and tricks from a well-practiced professional. With our roots in shelter and rescue work, we started training dogs to help save lives. This means teaching practical life skills for high-functioning social dogs. Not just obedience, but *applied* obedience that results in manners inside and outside of the home. Our goal is to build relationships, friendships, and trust through communication. We’ll never ask you to “dominate” your dog or be cruel. Instead, we coach you on how to be a good dog parent, a good leader, and a person your dog can rely on. For us, building trust is everything. First, we earn your trust. Then you earn your dog’s. A dog who trusts you is loyal and will follow you happily. From there, the possibilities are boundless.
