Testimonials
“Love every dog as if it were their own. Cody and Ashley are the best! Skye loves them! I highly recommend Hunky Hound Handlers. Very professional and they love every dog as if it were their own. Whether it’s taking them for a walk or sits-and-stays, they work miracles. The best training and nutrition advice you could ever ask for. Skye has learned so much she looks forward to going to training; hikes are her favorite.”
– Sheri J.
“I came across Hunky Hound Handlers after doing a bit of research on finding the best opportunity for supportive care and training for a new rescue pup. From [the] first call, I knew this was the place! The staff are so passionate about the work they do, and Thalia loved it so much that we started our three-year-old pup for pack walks and additional training. 10 out of 10 recommend!”
– Chelsi F.
“Words can’t express how grateful we are for Cody and Ashley at HHH. We haven’t found anything like them in the area and it has been a godsend. Their training program and guidance have made training our puppy a much lower-stress experience. They are also helping us socialize our older pup who is anxious and shy.
We take advantage of their nutrition program. The breadth of knowledge both Ashley and Cody have is impressive. The raw diet has been a “game-changer” for our older pup who has always struggled with stomach issues. He has turned into a food-motivated dog!! He actually looks for treats and gets excited for mealtimes.
Their support means the world and we are so thankful for their help!”
– ASHLEY A.
