SERVICES

From puppy training to reactivity, we have you covered! My aim is to train and foster behaviors that fit your lifestyle, align with your dog’s personality, and enhance the life you and your dog share together.

With the goal to wear out even the most active of dogs, our off leash day hikes provide exercise and social interaction for your pup, while giving back to impactful animal rescue organizations.

Looking to include your dog in your wedding or family photoshoot? Allow me to care for your pup in any downtime! I'll accompany your pup and have them ready and available for the events you are including them in.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I’ve seen my pup's behavior improve more with Avery than any of the multitude of trainers we’ve worked with in the past. He has gone from a pup with separation anxiety who needed to be crated when left alone, to one that is able to relax and roam freely about the house while I’m away. I literally never thought it would be possible with him. Hounding Around has improved quality of life for both of us and I’m so, so thankful we found them!

I reached out to Avery to help with my reactive dog. In a short time, Avery helped Bella become confident in her surroundings and has shown me the tools to implement to make mine and Bella’s relationship better. Kicking myself for how long it took me to get help but grateful I found the right person to make a difference. 

Haily M.

Beyond the curriculum itself, Avery is wonderful. She is authentic and offers complete transparency with dog owners on why things may or may not be working (which I will admit, I totally needed to hear.) She made the experience really enjoyable for me and her down to earth demeanor and casual/comfortable approach to guiding me on this journey made me sad our sessions were coming to an end.
