Testimonials
Hallie saved us! Her genuine care and support helped us integrate our new pup into the pack. She was also very supportive with a gut wrenching decision we made given some difficult circumstances. We never felt any judgement. She has made us better people, helped mold us into pack leaders. She has definitely instilled confidence in me. Her guidance and expertise is priceless. You can tell her passion is helping dogs and people. And let’s be real, the issue is the people, not the dogs. She has taught us so much! I have the upmost respect and gratitude for everything she does and offers. The training and adventure trips have helped my pup gain confidence and skills. If you stay consistent and follow through with training, you will be amazed at the progress. My pup is completely different than when we first started. My friends and colleagues have noticed a tremendous difference. I look forward to my continued work with Hallie. I would recommend her to anyone that needs help with their dog, who needs to learn how to be better pet owners.

We have two large, male Old English Sheepdogs, a breed that can be wonderful, but quite willful and a challenge to train. During a time of transition and change, we did not maintain obedience, which resulted in out-of-control dogs. One, liked to mouth and snap at people as he tried to herd them; the other, became super reactive with barking, growling, and whining behaviors. We had our first session with Hallie last Friday. I cannot say enough about how incredibly skillful and effective she was at teaching us how to re-instill obedience in our dogs. Four days later I am writing this as workman install a propane tank in full view out our windows and not one bark has come from the dogs. They stay in their crates, with the doors open on command for as long as we need. They sit, stay, and “leave it” on command. We have had company and had no issues with dog behavior. It is an amazing turn-around. All of it due to Hallie’s experienced guidance, knowledge, and frankly, compassion. She is not just a dog whisperer, she is also a dog-owner whisperer. : ) If you have a dog (s) that is expressing unwanted behaviors, call Hallie. You will be so relieved and grateful.

We’ve just started working with Hallie at Canine Coach Academy, and her experience and knowledge are truly impressive! She is patient and clearly passionate about what she does. Hallie took the time to understand our dogs unique personality and needs making the training feel personalized and effective. She provided us with the tools and skills we need to effectively train our dog, making the process feel achievable. Hallie takes the time to explain her methods and tailors her approach to each situation. We’re excited to continue working with her and highly recommend Canine Coach Academy to anyone looking for expert guidance and support in training their dog!
