High Hopes Dog Training

When I first started working with Maverick, a 3-year-old rescued Weimaraner, he was reactive to other dogs while on leash. He pulled, vocalized, stared, and lunged. I taught Maverick's mom how to work with him and how to interpret his body language at those moments. By taking the time to understand Maverick's emotions, we learned that he does not know how to interact with other dogs, therefore, he feels uncertain and nervous around them. He definitely prefers a human's company over a dog's! Maverick's mom will continue to properly expose him to other dogs without any pressure, so that he has time to feel safe and get to know a potential dog friend on his terms.

Thank you to Maverick's mom for posting this review about her High Hopes experience:

"Great experience working with Hope. Her love for dogs comes through. She took a gentle approach to allow time to understand my rescue dog's temperament and provide tools for me to continue working with him. I can't recommend her enough!"

Hi. My name is Peppermint. I'm a 13-week-old mini Goldendoodle.
My parents and I are learning a lot from our lessons with Ms Hope. I am learning sit, touch, down, and bell-ringing. My parents are learning how to manage me in the car and on walks, how to help me feel safe and secure when I'm left alone, and how to deal with play-biting. There's so much to learn!

Thank you to Jon for leaving this 5-star Google review:

"Strongly recommend! Hope did a great job with our dog, Bodhi. He was a stray and had some past trauma and was pretty reactive to other dogs which was stressful for everyone. Hope patiently worked with us to develop techniques and strategies so Bo would remain calm when we encountered other dogs while out walking. Huge success! Encountering another dog is now much (much) less stressful for Bodhi and me!"

Look at Dougie's smile! He is between 8-10 years old and has shown lots of progress in his house-training. Next goal: Not chasing the family cat. Wish us luck!
