Don & Mary Elaine are nothing short of miracle workers! After some research I reached out to them to inquire about the training program. After speaking with Don I brought my very, very stubborn 4 y/o French Bulldog for an overnight evaluation. When I picked him up, both Don & Mary Elaine spent a tremendous amount of time with me listening to my areas of concern. Together they have a plethora of experience in both behavioral training and vet tech knowledge. They developed a plan for Ramsay to correct some problematic behaviors of immediate concern such as jumping on others, selective hearing of commands, and pulling on the leash. It must be said that I wasn't successful on my own and Ramsay was essentially untrained and wild. I cannot say enough complimentary things about them! Ramsay has many health problems and allergies. Mary Elaine took amazing care of him during his stay. When I returned to retrieve my guy I could not believe I was seeing the same dog in action! Don was able to train Rams to walk without pulling, listen to commands, and minimize jumping on others. My dog was transformed! Don spent time with me practicing how to continue working with Rams at home to continue to strengthen and reinforce the foundation that had been established. They both made themselves available for follow up questions and concerns I may need advice on. They have gone above and beyond providing exceptional service to both my dog and myself. I highly and strongly recommend Hidden Valley Kennels to anyone looking into training programs. I am looking forward to boarding both of my furbabies this week. I trust them implicitly with my dogs. Again, I cannot say enough laudable things about Don, Mary Elaine and Hidden Valley Kennels! read more
