just a beautiful facility and really, really nice and knowledgeable people. i went for a confirmation class/intro to dog show training with my English cocker spaniel and will definitely be back.
We have benefited tremendously from working with Sandy Modell and our young female cocker spaniel. We have learned how to work with our cocker on fear aggression and resource guarding, and self calming. We have improved our bonding and trust with our cocker. Our cocker is demonstrating more confidence. We have gained a tool kit of training exercises thanks to Sandy's expertise. We look forward to continuing training and classes at Wholistic Hound Academy!
