Helping Hounds Training Solutions

Helping Hounds Training Solutions offers a custom approach to training that focuses on enhancing the relationship between the dog and owner. They provide real, gainful, and actionable help, ensuring effective techniques are given to achieve desired changes.

The training aims to provide clarity and understanding of why a dog is behaving in certain ways, reducing frustration and fostering positive changes. The ultimate goal is to bring back the joy of dog ownership by helping owners understand their dog’s place in their life and building a strong bond. The process involves three steps: Decide (whether to scope things out or get started), Commit (to creating a pathway to success), and Succeed (with the trainer acting as a K9 “Coach” to get the best out of the dog).

Helping Hounds Training Solutions, also known as C3 K9 Solutions, offers a variety of dog training solutions for owners in Syracuse and surrounding areas. They boast over 15 years of industry-leading experience and positive reviews from clients nationwide.

The business aims to solve common dog problems, eliminate stress for both dog and owner, and bring happiness back to dog ownership by enhancing the relationship between them. They provide solutions for obedience, problem-solving (such as jumping, barking, leash pulling, chewing, counter surfing, digging), puppy raising (from housebreaking to the “teenage” phase), and education through seminars and workshops.

Helping Hounds Training Solutions emphasizes a custom approach that is clear, gainful, and effective, distinguishing themselves by not relying solely on “reward-only” methods (which they refer to as “bribing”) nor using force-based, punishment-only techniques. They focus on educating owners to understand their dog’s behavior and create positive changes. They are certified, competent, and credible, being recommended by groomers, veterinarians, rescues, and other trainers nationwide.
