| - Hunter Canine is amazing at what they do. Impeccably maintained facilities, professional staff, excellent training. Everything you would want in a professional training facility. There are many wonderful training facilities and trainers in the area, and it came down to finding the right fit for us, and we felt Hunter Canine was the best fit for us. We enrolled our puppy in the 3 week training retreat/camp to learn basic obedience and manners. She was already a wonderful puppy with a sweet temperament. However, we wanted to give her a great foundation because we know all too well from raising other dogs in the past how easy it is for cute puppy behavior to turn into bad habits down the road that end up being a nuisance or problems, especially if you don't have the time/skills to properly train them. We missed her every day during the 3 weeks and looked forward to the weekly 1 hour visits when we got to see her progress and to also participate in the training, where we learned how to walk and direct her in basic skills. We learned how to reinforce and handle her so that we can continue to build upon the training she received. On the day we picked her up, we brought our daughter and Chad spent some time with her too, showing her how to interact with the puppy in a way where they both respect each other. The lesson was very helpful and we are reinforcing the training at home with the puppy and our little girl, and ourselves. The biggest challenge is to be persistent and consistent with the training at home. We are going to try our best. It's day 2 at home, and we are all adjusting well. She is still the same sweet puppy, but less hyper and not as easily excitable. She grew while she was away, physically and mentally. Thanks to Chad and his whole team at Hunter Canine for being wonderful trainers and caretakers. We look forward to continuing the education and future visits!
