Canine Obedience Training At Hunt Club

Dory Hoffman is an absolutely phenomenal dog trainer. She really takes the time to get to know your dogs personality, the home and circumstances to provide extremely insightful and crucial advice to train your dog. She also gives the best tools of the trade between leashes, toys, treats, deterrents, etc. She's a real professional. highly recommend!

We met Dory at our home with our 12 week old Great Dane Bear. She started training from the ring of the door bell. She takes control and not only is hands on training the dog but also training us. Her knowledge of all breeds is second to none. We since have completed the puppy class and are looking forward to continued classes and training and learning. We can not recommend her enough.

Dory is an awesome trainer! my puppy has just finished the kindergarten class, and I'm thrilled with his progress. he's a challenging one to train, but with Dory's guidance, I know he will get there. She's very knowledgeable not only about training, but will give you advice on food, toys, leashes, you name it, she knows it! Can't wait for Beginner class to start.

Just had our first in home private session for our rescued pup. Can't say enough great things about our experience. Dory is a wealth of knowledge. We can wait to implement all her training guidance.

We have two miniature dachshunds. Frankie was severely attacked and now displays with aggressive behaviors and Grace has extreme anxiety and barks too frequently. Over the last few weeks we have "interviewed" many pet trainers and even had some come to our home. We have not been able to find a trainer that understands the significance of Frankies behavior until we met Dory. Dory came to our house for the first session.

Not only was she so patient and understanding of our dogs, we also saw progress within the first session! By the time Dory left the house, Frankie was able to walk her to the door without growling and Grace said good bye and have some kisses. We are so looking forward to this continued process and additional sessions with Dory!

I want to start out by saying that Dory is a super knowledgeable trainer. She can break down the training so it is easy to follow and understand why you are doing the commands and movements. Most important, my mother is 82 years old and Dory was able to show her the steps and guide her so at the end of the session my mom was confident and ready to keep working her pup. I would highly recommend Dory to anyone looking for a trainer. A true pro in her field.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dory a few years ago when she was referred to me to help introduce a second dog to my home. It was such a great experience that I searched for her again just recently to assist me with a new rescue beagle who is suffering from separation anxiety and isolation distress. Her wealth of knowledge and experience has been extremely helpful.

She leaves you with great information and a better understating on how to work best with you animal to order to gain your desired results to make it a happy transition for everyone. Dory is my go-to "doggie whisperer!"

Dory Hofmann has been training me and my dogs for almost 30 years! I know I can trust her to do the right thing for my dogs from puppy classes to various levels of obedience. She's also always available to help with any behavioral issues throughout a dog's life. I highly recommend Dory for owners looking to improve their dogs behavior through proper training and socialization.

My first Lakeland terrier, Casey, graduated from Basic class in 1992. Maggie, my current Aussie, finished Basic in December, 2019, and will be starting sub novice soon. Thank you, Dory, for all you do for the dogs and for the owners.

We had a great experience with Dory! She met us at our home, and right from the start of greeting at the door, our training started. She immediately got a sense of what our dogs needed some guidance on. She is extremely professional with a caring and kind compassion about what she does. Highly recommend!

Dory has assisted my wife and I with our border collie over the past 4 months. Her passion for training dogs is off the charts! The classes including both obedience and Rally have been fantastic. The dog enjoys the challenges of the Rally Classes and we enjoy the improvement in her behavior resulting from the obedience classes. The classes are not over crowded and the majority of the class is spent hands on with your dog. I would highly recommend COT to anyone looking for professional dog training. Your dog will love it as well.
