Two weeks ago my two adult dogs returned from Hunter Canine's 2 week Stay and Train program. After searching for a trainer for some time, I came across Chad and Andrew in Cave Creek, AZ. At first I was skeptical if my dogs could be trained at their age. Chad and Andrew reassured me that despite their age and breed they can become well-mannered members of the family. Upon dropping the boys off I had a consultation with Andrew and he described the program. After the first week, I got a full demonstration on what the boys had been working on. I was completely amazed as to the progress that had been accomplished in such a short time. After the program was complete I spent an hour with Chad and Andrew working with dogs and most importantly teaching me how to continue the training at home.
The most impressive portion of this entire transformation has been the amount of time and energy Chad and Andrew spend teaching the owners on how to properly communicate with the dogs. They break it down in a very simple, practical and easy to understand process. After, completing 2 of the 4 group training sessions, I now feel confident in my ability to handle my dogs responsibly and confidently.
My boys were terrified of water, the package came with 2 swimming lessons and they are now no longer afraid of the water, in fact they love it. I added the rattle snake awareness training and after watching the boys alert and respond to LIVE rattle snakes, it was truly impressive.
I highly recommend Hunter Canine to anyone who is interested in having a hassle free experience with a highly professional staff that values their customers.
