Testimonials

Our miniature labradoodle Daisy was having behavior issues. She was attacking our other older dog, Peaches (Labrador Retriever). We took Daisy to our vet, we gave her medication, got a shock collar, and looked for someone to work with her for her behavioral issues. This was our last shot trying to help our dog stop her behavior. Brian and Ana came to our home to meet Daisy. They observed her with our other dog. They gave us pointers on how to watch for her postering and how we can do correction. We listened, she had significant improvement in her behavior just from one meeting. We did a 2 week board and train. Brian and Ana treated her like she was their own and worked with her. They even sent us pictures and kept us up to date with her progress. Since she has been home her behavior is 100% better. Daisy is not posturing with Peaches anymore. She is the friendly, behaves when she goes places. We use her leave it command and stops whatever she was doing (barking ect). When she is swimming she doesn’t stand on the steps to block Peaches anymore, she moves away on her own to allow her to get out of the pool. Also she is no longer on medication!! Daisy has been home for a couple of weeks now. I am so glad that we found Hochadel K9 LLC. I recommend them 100% to anyone having issues with their dogs behavior. Our Daisy is now the best version of herself she can be. We will always be grateful they were able to help us.

I recently took my 8 month old GSD mix Millie to Brian for some behavioral training. Millie was what he described as an “angry pooper.” When she’d be crated and we were out doing literally anything she’d go to the bathroom knowing we’d have to let her out to clean it. After three weeks with Brian not only does she not exhibit those behaviors she is a much more confident and well rounded dog at only 8 months old. I wish I could have found Brian and his team much sooner than I did. I cannot thank him enough for improving not only my life but Mille’s as well.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Brian and Ana. My 4-1/2 month GSD needed some badly needed training in commands and manners. He was kept inside with their family. If you are looking for training and/or boarding, give Brian a call, I promise you won’t regret it!
