Our Trainer

Welcome to Hudson's Hounds, where our passion for hound training shines through in everything we do. With a commitment to positive reinforcement and clear communication, we foster strong bonds between hounds and their owners. At Hudson's Hounds, we believe in force-free training methods that honor each hound's unique abilities and personality.

Every hound is special, and we adapt our techniques to suit their learning style, focus, and energy levels. Whether your hound needs help with obedience, behavior modification, or confidence-building, we tailor our approach to ensure their success. We understand the importance of confidence in hounds - in themselves, in their abilities, and in their relationship with you.

Our specific training programs cover a wide range of needs, including barking, door manners, tricks, reactivity, leash pulling, on-leash and off-leash walking, long-distance commands, auto sit, safety skills, standing, exposure and socialization, potty training, managing destructive tendencies like chewing, and addressing anxiety issues.

At Hudson's Hounds, we're here to support you and your hound every step of the way. Let's work together to bring out the best in your hound and create a harmonious partnership built on trust and understanding.

Some hounds (e.g. working hounds) may benefit from the use of an E-collar for long distance commands, not above the level of a vibration. Prong collars and choke chains are never acceptable. Pain should never be afflicted as a training tool.

  • As stated prior, pain should never be afflicted as a training tool. Though it may "work" in the short term, the hound may not understand the goal of the command and they no longer trust the trainer as a confident leader.
