It's truly a loss to see this remarkable dog kennel close its doors. These pioneers in positive gundog training have made an indelible mark on both the canine world and the people they've touched. Despite years of success with traditional methods, they dared to explore new horizons, championing innovative approaches that defied convention. Their commitment to positive reinforcement has forever transformed the lives of countless dogs and enriched the experiences of their owners. While it is sad to see them go, their legacy of compassion, creativity, and courage will continue to inspire and guide future generations of trainers and dog lovers.

Let us embark on a new endeavor!

What do you say dogs, do you think the people are ready?

The realm of dog training has seen limited evolution in the last five decades, with methods remaining largely unchanged and repetitive. However, consider this: what if there exist more intuitive techniques waiting to be explored?

Throughout my two decades of dedicated work with dogs at a professional capacity, I have witnessed a shift in canine behavior. An increase in aggression, anxiety, and trauma-related behaviors has become evident.

The reason behind this shift may surprise you. Just as humans adapt to societal and cultural changes, our four-legged companions also evolve and with that bring completely new challenges we have never seen before. They say” that’s the way it’s always been done” But, those ways may not be working as effectively with these newly evolved dogs.

At Hippie Dog, we challenge the status quo by embracing a canine-centric perspective, we adopt an empathic look through the lens of your dog's experience.

As Hippie Dog approached its milestone tenth anniversary this year, we stand at the threshold of significant transformations on the horizon.

Stay tuned and join us in the evolution of dog training.

Until then, A Hippie Dog is undeniably a Happy Dog!

Hey all you Hippie Dogs!
We are offering a Spring Fling training package for you and your dog pal.
This package includes three 45-minute sessions with a CPDT-KSA trainer focused on having your dog walk nicely on a leash and the skills to get there.
We know the benefits of getting outside and walking with your dog and it can be hard when there is pulling, distractibility and excitability- we got you!

These sessions are tailored to you and your dog's specific needs.
All levels are welcome, whether you have an impossible puller, an all over the road puppy or want to add enrichment to your walks- it's up to you!

We will meet at Veterans Park in Richfield. Cost is $350.

*Please note* This is not for dogs who may have reactivity (barking and lunging) or any behavior concerns. Please see us for an initial consult if you have these concerns. We are here for you!
