The Intro to Nosework class has been great for our reactive dog. It's a safe place for him to work and search for food. Kayleigh has been a wonderful instructor and we're looking forward to the Continuing Nosework classes. We've been very happy with Honourable Hound's trainers. We've done private lessons with Marysha and also did the reactive club with her also. Very patient and professional. Thank you to all the trainers at Honourable Hound!

Honourable hounds has been amazing for our puppy training experience. All the instructors we've interacted with have been amazingly calm and confident and they have great practical advice for any hick-ups along the way. Our puppy has really responded to the techniques they support and the positive training method has never led us astray. They also all clearly love dogs and are excited to be there with everyone. We will continue to do more advanced classes there just for fun!

I recently completed training with Honorable Hound and it was a great experience. The guidance was practical, clear, and easy to apply with my six month old puppy. I am still implementing what I learned, and even in this short time I can already see positive changes in manners. The techniques feel realistic for everyday life, which makes it much easier to stay consistent. Overall, it has been a very helpful and supportive service for both me and my pup.

Holly and her team do an excellent job of sharing information and helping you understand the fundamentals of raising and training your puppy. The group class we attended was the perfect size—small enough to feel almost private. The instructions were clear and effective, and we saw real results. Our dog loved the playtime and the treats, too! They truly set you and your dog up for success. Highly recommend!

I have been working with Holly to train my dog on reactivity and body handling. Our training is still in progress, however, I have noticed a change in Gus right off the bat with our first training session and his confidence building. Holly gives very practical exercises that you can easily incorporate into your daily routine with your dog, and the exercises all blend with each other. We are planning on continuing Gus' training and also get him in group training and classes. Photo of Gus watching a pack of dogs more calmly - which was not the case prior to Honourable Hound.
