We brought our young (under 1 year old) Golden Doodle to Darcey and her team to work on his vocalness, impulse control, and overall obedience, and it was one of the best decisions we've made! The entire team was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. At the start of boarding, Darcey was able to pinpoint the key areas that needed work. Throughout the training process, we received regular updates, including informative notes, photos, and videos that showed just how much progress our pup was making. It gave us so much confidence and peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. The information shared also helped to prepare us on his return, specifically the steps we needed to take to enforce his training. On pickup day, Elias took the time to walk us through all the commands and detail best practices moving forward. His attention to detail, depth of knowledge, and ability to clearly communicate everything really stood out not just to us, but even to outsiders observing the session. Everyone was genuinely impressed! The transformation in our pup has been amazing--he's noticeably calmer, more attentive, and much better at listening. This is a level of progress we couldn't have achieved on our own. We're so grateful to Darcey and her team and we would not hesitate to work with them again. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional dog training! read more

Outstanding experience. We brought our dog here for the first time after hearing so much about this amazing place and the outstanding owners. We have a working dog and we weren't sure this would be the appropriate place for it. They did wonderful. They are very familiar with working dogs. Normally my dog can't wait for me to take him home. He actually seemed like he wanted to stay. Can't say enough good things about the staff, how easy it was to make a reservation, and how seamless it was for drop off and pick up. Outstanding! Darcy and her entire staff deserve a huge high five. read more

We recently adopted a puppy mastiff/corso mix, Luna had the basics but we wanted to ensure she would have more the proper foundation when she became an adult. We were recommend to Hope Training from a friend and we opted for the 3 week board and train. Jose was assigned to be Lunas trainer. Jose is an awesome trainer. It was great to receive daily texts and videos of Lunas progress during these 3 weeks. Most importantly was great to see the growth of Lunas obedience and socialization. On the last day of pickup, Jose ensured Lunas new skills and also provided us parents with some proper corrections and training. Luna is definitely more attentive and responsive the our commands after HOPE and we will continually reinforce her daily training. Thanks again Jose! read more

We love Darcey and the whole staff. They truly love the dogs. We have done the training and the socialization for our four Goldendoodles. Hope also offers pick up and drop off of your pet. We used that service recently and it was perfect. Highly recommended. Thank you Darcey and team. read more

I wanted to give it some time to provide my experience since it takes time to see how much information can be retained with dog training. Daniel was Buddy's instructor and incredibly helpful in teaching the little dude. Daniel would send training videos daily (weekdays) so that they could be referenced when Buddy came back home, and I could make sure to train him and help him retain the information when he was back home. I ensured Buddy got some commands daily so he remembered (and still does). The training doesn't stop once the dog steps out of the door, folks. You have to make sure that information is retained. Prior to dog training, Buddy had issues with commands, yanking at the leash, and some aggression and anxiety. After the two-week training and then a few more weeks to settle back into his space alongside training at home, his behavior was so much better. He listens. He's energetic and still crazy, but he can be more attentive to being calm when asked. Needless to say, getting Buddy training here has made a night and day difference. Not only that, but Buddy has also been much more of a social butterfly and friendlier with most other dogs. I take him to daycare with Hope Dog Training every once in a while, knowing he'll be well taken care of and have lots of fun. All the trainers and staff seem very invested in ensuring that all dogs are well taken care of, which made me feel confident about leaving Buddy here occasionally while getting some socialization. Also you get a report card for day care which I find pretty funny and informative. He still gets slight anxiety when meeting new people and sometimes other dogs (as a rescue, parts of that instinct might stay forever). Still, credit is where credit is due, as they saved Buddy from himself and helped him find more purpose and calmness through the two-week training. I hope this review will help someone out there decide whether or not to move forward with leaving your dog to train here or for daycare. read more

If you're looking for a place to love your dogs as you love and care for them H.O.P.E is the place to go. If it's for training or boarding you won't be disappointed. We have taken our Corso for training, boarding and training classes on Saturday. We absolutely love Hope and so does Zeus (Mr. Wiggle Booty) :) As soon as we pull in the parking lot he wiggles his tail and can't wait to get out and get greeted by the H.O.P.E family. The staff is so welcoming and answers any questions you have. It's truly comforting knowing that your dog is in good care when at H.O.P.E We're looking forward to the next training phase for Zeus when he turns one. We couldn't have found a better place to take our boy. Thank you to all the staff and Darcey for making us feel as family and loving Zeus as you all do. read more

My 11 month old Doberman, Roux, recently completed the 3 week overnight training course. Prior to coming to HOPE, we had rescued Roux, and he had developed a ton of bad habits and behaviors that were challenging for us to break. We also have a 3 year old Doberman, Loki, who we've had since 7 weeks of age and is seemingly perfect. We couldn't understand what roux needed to be successful like his brother Loki. After much trial and error, we booked Roux at HOPE, where he spent 3 weeks with his trainer, Alvin. During the whole process, Alvin sent us daily updates, which included a video of Roux's progress along with a detailed description of how the day went. Alvin always explained our pups strengths and weaknesses, and allowed us to ask questions and stay completely involved in the process. Our family felt overwhelmed without having our pup at home with us, and Alvin did a fantastic job at easing our worries and making sure that Roux had everything he needed during his stay. The daily communication and updates allowed us to learn along the way and watch the amazing progress that our dog was making. When week 3 arrived, we came to pick up Roux in complete shock and excitement for how well trained and obedient he has become. It wasn't just the list of commands that he had learned that made it so great, but also the deeper respect and bond between owner and canine that Roux has been able to form with us. We are still learning how to communicate with our pup the way Alvin did, but so far, Roux has been able to successfully maintain everything he has learned at HOPE here at his home. When we dropped Roux off for his first day, we felt a sense of doubt in our dog--that he would be too stubborn to excel in the course (he is a wild, stubborn child lol). However, we have been so pleased by the amount of growth he has made in such a short period of time. Alvin, his trainer, did an excellent job teaching him all the tools to be a more successful working dog. We are excited to continue this journey of growth and return to hope for more advanced training sometime in the future. Roux has changed immensely, both in obedience and behavior. We believe that this will make Roux more fulfilled in his daily life and give him more purpose. We are beyond happy with the service at HOPE and the outstanding and skillful work by his trainer, Alvin. We would 100% recommend HOPE training to any and all families who are in similar positions as us, or who just need to learn a few extra commands. HOPE has it all! - Allison, Sebastian, & Roux read more

TLDR: Hope was a great investment in our puppy and AJ is an amazing trainer. Highly recommend. When we brought home an 8wk German Shepherd I had every intention of training her to be a polite well mannered doggo. Fast forward to 3 months later and though she had the basics down 75% of the time I realized I had overestimated the time and patience it took to train a puppy. I googled and yelped all the dog training in the area, reading every review to see who would treat our baby the best, and ultimately my fiancé and I decided on HOPE. We called and Brooke (I think that was her name?) answered our multitude of questions and invited us to come see the facility. That day we signed Kira up for training to drop off the next day. It was hard leaving our puppy in someone else's hands for 3 whole weeks, but we were reassured with all the happy smiling faces and enthusiasm when we dropped her off. AJ was assigned as her trainer and he couldn't have been nicer. He went over what he would be teaching her and asked about any behaviors we wanted him to focus on. Every day we got pictures or videos of him working with Kira (even if the iPhone to Android connection left the videos blurry). On our pick- up day AJ went over everything she learned, demonstrated it to us, had us do the training and corrections and spent 2 hours answering questions and making sure we knew how to continue the training. Now that she's home we definitely see a noticeable change in her demeanor. She is calmer and listens a lot better (especially when about to chase our cats). Her heeling on walks is fantastic, where before she wouldn't lunge, but constantly pull to be ahead. Now she walks calmly beside me. However since she's so smart she realizes she only needs to listen when the collar and leash are on, it's hit and miss when it's off, so we will probably be looking into off- leash training. read more

We love Hope Dog Training! Our boy, Fang, has been coming to see all his friends for the last 2-1/2 years. They did his initial puppy training when he was 6 months old. We brought him back last year to do some additional training with him and it was amazing. As a 153lb Great Dane/Mastiff, it was important to us to be able to have control of our boy, him being able to listen as well as him feeling safe and sociable. HOPE was amazing in giving us the tools and training. We board there regularly as well. Most recently we were under an evacuation warning due to the fires. Without hesitation, Darcy was happy to board Fang for a few days for us until we could figure out the situation. I highly recommend HOPE, Darcy, Brooklin and all the trainers and staff. I trust them with my boy and he loves them so much. read more

We have taken our two Mastiffs here since they were puppies, Oro and Fabi. They both did a week training while we were on vacation a few years ago. They worked wonders with both dogs during this short time. But you must do your part and follow their plan. After that we took both of them to weekly socialization and they loved it. Eventually it was only Oro due to Fabi having some leg problems and they no longer offered the socialization. Oro still thinks of this place as his second home. When we vacation now, we board them and just picked them up last week. Both dogs love going there and they are treated as part of the family. We get daily pictures and updates. It makes our vacation that much more enjoyable knowing they are in such good hands. Darcey, Emily, Daniel, and the rest love their jobs and they love your dog. You can't find a better group of people. read more

I am very pleased with H.O.P.E. Dog Training. My boyfriend and I rescued a pitbull puppy in December and wanted to set him up for success. After a bit of research we decided to do puppy/basic obedience training and had such a positive experience we decided to do the day socialization class as well. He gets REALLY excited to see other dogs and I'm so grateful that he is being taught the right way to channel that. The staff is friendly, communicative, and not only has my dog benefited, we feel like more confident handlers as well. Thank you! read more

I was very very disappointed. Darcy was very kind. And it is clear she loves animals. However, I sent my dog for a board and train because my dog was having issues beyond just training. My dog could sit and stay. That was not the issue. My dog was aggressive On leash with other dogs and sometimes people, would bark or be aggressive to people that was near my car if she was in it, aggressive my other dog and actually have a Jekyll and Hyde moment and literally attack my other dog for no reason, was food aggressive, she was over protective with me to the point where she would even snarl and lunge at my daughter if she got close. My dog has Terrible anxiety, territorial issues and needed behavioral training and to treat severe reactivity. I told her my goals was to be able to take my dog with me places because I could not as she was. Darcy told me that she would handle this and that while maybe not everything would be solved that surely the training would help and then she would work with me afterwards so I can continue to reinforce behavior. After taking my couple of thousands of dollars, and promising change... nothing changed. While the dog did well with the trainer nothing changed at home. As for at home training I got 1-2 hrs with the trainer AND THAT WAS IT! I reached out and told her how disappointed I was and that I should get a refund. I invested in her word and nothing changed. I have the same issues. She told me she would provide more Ongoing training with me and call me back. Tick tok tick tok. She kept the money, did not fix one behavioral or anxiety issue with my dog and never called me for more training to help Me With my dog. My life with this dog is EXACTLY as it was except that have over $2000 less in my checking account. I valued her word and her expertise and it was blown away in the wind along with the money that I counted on helping me due to the training. I am upset, disappointed and feel betrayed by the love I have for this dog and just wanting her trained so the dog could live a Less anxious and more fulfilled life. Sadly I DO NOT recommend this training for more anxious and aggressive behavioral issues. If that is what you looking for IT IS NOT THIS. read more

Alvin was his trainer and he was very knowledgeable and treated our little Murphy so well! They really had a great bond and Murphy came back way more well behaved and we are able to continue his commands and training at home! They sent us pictures and videos of Murphy every single day which made us feel so much better because we saw how much fun he was having! Hailey at the front desk was also so sweet and truly loved and cared about Murphy! Thank you everyone at Hope!! read more

We initially took our young German Shorthaired Pointer, Emmah, to HOPE Dog Training for on-leash training. They did an excellent job, for which we received compliments wherever we took her on her good behavior. But, off-leash, her natural tendency to follow her nose at a run was unsafe and annoying. Therefore, Emmah returned to HOPE for e-collar training with Samantha. Emmah's recall is amazing. Plus, she heels and stays in place without a leash! I can't give enough praise to what Samantha and HOPE did for Emmah and us. Emmah is a joy to us and a good citizen. P.S. Emmah was well cared for and loved by ALL the staff at HOPE. She especially loves Samantha! read more

Ok, this place is pretty amazing!! My husband and MIL had been dropping off Thor and Maverick for the past 5 days to get trained as they were a tad out of control in terms of just doing the basic commands and heeling while walking them. They were enrolled with their 5 day training program, so like doggy day camp but to get them to learn and obey us for about 8 hours a day! After 5 days, SUCH A HUGE IMPROVEMENT! I was shocked as my husband was showing us how they're listen and do the basic commands so much easier! You guys are seriously like magic genies because it's such a day/night difference with their listening and heeling!! Thank you so much!! read more

We have taken our dogs to Hope Dog Training for boarding for over 8 years. Our dog Bailey is sometimes a challenge as he is often fearful and hesitant around strangers. But not here! Plus, he tends to resource guard. However, this team has been exceptional with him. Everyone knows Bailey, and he is comfortable going here when we are away. Darcey and her team are excellent! They send us daily pictures, and Bailey knows so many of the staff that we would not take him anywhere else. We are so grateful for the team and highly recommend their services. They also helped us with the resource guard training, which was very helpful. read more

The team at Hope is seriously amazing! It was hard for us to be without our pup for 3 weeks but after we met the team we knew she would be in good hands. Their entire team is so knowledgeable and just love dogs which is amazing to see. We left our 4 month old golden retriever in Allie's hands for 3 weeks and she came back so well-behaved. Allie was amazing at sending us daily updates and videos of her progress and we could see how happy our little pup was. Aside from training they make sure to let the dogs have plenty of play time and socializing which was good to see as we felt Willow didn't get a lot of that. They also allow visits by parents which was good because we got to still go see our pup that we were missing so much. We're so glad we decided to take our pup to Hope and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for training read more

If giving a 10 star review were possible, I would more than happily give it for the 3 week overnight training course that I enrolled our 8 1/2 month old American cocker spaniel, Bentley Bean in last month. I shopped around calling 12 other training facilities getting basically the same information...as soon as I called HOPE Dog Training and Hailey answered, I knew right away I had found THE right training facility first our dog. Hailey's enthusiasm, ability to communicate and breakdown exactly what to expect from the obedience training course provided me with, well yes, HOPE!! I went to their facility the very next day to take a look around and get a feel for the place. Hailey, Daniel and Darcy met me at the front reception desk, they answered every question that I had and informed me of details that I hadn't even thought of. Bentley was behind on one of his vaccines ‍ they let me know that I could either take him to our vet or they could give it to him the minute he checked in for training - just another reassurance that our dog would be in excellent hands and having that option just made things easier as my husband and I were preparing to leave first thing a two week toad trip to Tennessee. From the day of drop off to the day of pick up, communication and daily video updates with both HOPE staff and his phenomenal trainer, Allie, let me know how training was going, what areas our dog needed a little more focus/work. The daily video updates made Bentley's progress visible and I was able to see that a bond of mutual respect and trust had been forged between Bentley and Allie. A couple days before we were due to pick Bentley up from the HOPE training facility, I was made aware that Bentley had an ear infection (a common occurrence for cocker spaniels). I asked Allie if they could get him to the vet at their facility, unfortunately he was booked...Allie let me know that the staff was able to both schedule an appointment and take him to our family vet's office the very next morning!!!! Talk about a) ensuring the well being of the dogs that they are caring for and b) GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. I scheduled a pickup day and time with our trainer, she came out and went over the basics of everything she had covered with our Bentley throughout his 3 week overnight training...then she brought out our boy for me to give it try out the new collar, training commands, etc. She explained that there would be a period of acclimation; where Bentley would have to get used to the idea of his training was still expected of him, even at home. It has been 4 days since I picked him up and I am thrilled to say that Bentley is still on track, a few minor hiccups, but all that he learned at HOPE training center has indeed given us the hope that Bentley is our dream dog. All dreams take a little HOPE, dedication and work to turn into reality. Thank you ALLIE, HAILIE, DANIEL, DARCY, BROOKLYN and everyone else at HOPE DOG TRAINING!!!! read more

I can't begin to express how impressed I am with this ENTIRE group of people. Our trainer was Samantha. She is INCREDIBLE with people and dogs. We have a Belgian Melinois that she completely transformed. We did the 6 week program and it was worth every single penny. Although Sadie left fully trained as if she was at boot camp, it was more like summer camp for her. They took trail walks, field trips, all kinds of fun different interactive activities. She not only learned a lot. She had a great time doing it. We got videos and pictures almost everyday. I just can't say enough good things about Samantha and the team. read more

We signed up our puppy for a 3 weeks training session back in August. It was worth it! We first called and scheduled time with Megan to get a tour of the facility. My husband and I signed up our little Cozi right after the tour. AJ was his trainer. He is amazing. We would get daily videos of his training sessions and meet with AJ at the end of the week for a recap and also get our homework for the weekend. Cozi would be excited to go to school everyday. As soon as we drop him off, he knew his way inside and greets everyone. He also says goodbye (lots of licks on everyone's faces) when we pick him up at the end of the day. You can tell everyone at Hope Dog Training will care for your furry one. I would talk to different staff members at the end of each day and they all have stories of our little one. read more

Very big thank you & shout out to Barkys trainer Samantha! It was a big decision to leave him for 3 weeks for overnight training but so far it has been worth it. We were sent daily videos and pictures of Barkys training and progress the entire time. It was comforting to be able to follow along on his daily activities. Our main issue was reactivity with other dogs while on the leash, but we've already seen a difference in the short time he's been back home. We can't thank Samantha & the rest of the staff enough for taking care of Barky for 3 weeks. Now it's up to us to continue his training and learning at home. Thank you Samantha! read more

I have a strong year & half Basset Hound, she was a Covid puppy, she didn't get much socializing and we stayed home a lot. I have been so frustrated these past few months, she stubborn, and strong , I couldn't walk her past our driveway because she pulled & yanked me to where she wanted to go, she also cut in front of me tripping me, I'm older so I stopped trying. When a friend suggested Hope Training and I saw how behaved her lab was I signed my girl up. She just finished her first week at Hope and I'm so impressed, I took her on a long walk this morning and she was amazing, what a good girl. I take her back on Monday for her second week, I'm so happy with the progress, thank you Hope training.

We have two dogs Jasper and Archie, a 1 and a 1/2 year old cattle dog and a 2 year old Lab mix. They had previously gone to a board and train program elsewhere, and although they did learn some basic commands, we didn't feel we were given the tools to be able to confidently continue the work with them at home. We were still struggling to get a handle on their reactivity and lack of confidence/socialization. Thankfully we found Hope Dog training, where we signed them up for the 2 week day training program. Our two pups were trained by Alvin and Allison who were extremely patient with our little guys! They gave us daily updates and gave us great advice and tools on how to continue their training at home once the 2 weeks were completed. We couldn't have asked for better trainers, and can't believe how much improvement has been made in such a short period of time. Not to mention the fact that after only a few days into the training, our two dogs who were previously very nervous and reactive, actually became excited to go to training every morning! Can't thank their trainers enough, as well as the rest of the staff who treated our dogs so well! read more

5 stars all the way. Reason I appreciate this training is because everyone has a lot of caring and love to my baby and if she is loved I know she is taken care of. Darcy has been very attentive on my baby girl. I honestly only wanted 1 week of training because she was trained by myself and then OC Service and found something closer to home. So we decided to train the girl but my attachment is anxious to leave my baby same with her. I just made a mental note that my baby was going to school and I was dropping her off daily. Darcy overall took a nice affection to my child and she took care of her. Things I couldn't teach my baby is socializing because dog parks are filthy and I don't have friendly dogs that can teach her. She will be safe also you never know if the dogs are aggressive and create a trauma to my child. I did the 10 days of training and lots of improvement from my baby. I'll be going back because after my baby finished her school she was going to her last day of class to OC and she got an allergic reaction being in hospitals I regret I didn't ask Darcy for help because I have not found a perfect vet. She was recommended to a vet by her other instructor. Overall even after my child finished her last day with Darcy's team she was in the prayers to get better and recommended ointments. My baby is a strong trooper and she will be back for her Canine Good Citizenship and other trainings because my girl is very energetic and clumsy. I'm very thankful she is no longer scared of other dogs because going to walks was a problem being scared. I didn't like pulling her back as trained by OC I wanted a way to teach her she will be okay and have the confidence. read more

We are a day and a half out of over night training from 6 Days at Hope Dog Training. I must say I was very nervous about the out come because as cute and adorable as our stubborn 6 month Olde English Bulldogge Roscoe is, he can be very rude and all over the place. Darcey and the Team did an absolutely wonderful job. This is the first time since we brought Roscoe home that he is not trying to get on the couch or jumping on us or in our lap after being told not to do so. Not only do they set your pup up for success, but also set us up as dog parents with proper training of our own. We are beyond grateful and extremely satisfied with the Team over at Hope. I highly recommend them for your dog training needs. read more
