We hired Stacy Hulen because our dogs were reacting aggressively when passing other dogs on the leash. We were unable to walk our dogs through our neighborhood. After using the training methods Stacy suggested, we are now able to pass most dogs in on walks without incident. We strongly recommend her services!

Stacy is the best dog trainer I have ever worked with. My rescue dachshund would bite the feet of anyone that walked through my front door. Stacy trained Max (and his Mom) to follow the proper steps to have Max stop this behavior. He's now kissing the feet of visitors, not biting them. I recommend Stacy to all of my friends with animals needing help with their issues and they are all thrilled with her results in their pet's as well.

Stacy is a great dog trainer! We rescued our dog a year ago and have been battling seperation anxiety with her as well as aggressive behavior from being on Prozac. After just one home visit from Stacy Minnie is almost a new dog. She goes in her kennel all by herself. Without having to pick her up to put her in it. Our dog loved Stacy so much that when she left she waited at the door for her :0( Thanks Stacy for making our Minnie pretty much the perfect dog!

Stacy is quick to respond when I contact her. She follows up with the owner for the dog training in a timely manner. She is great with the dogs and very experienced. She is a dog owner herself and understands dogs and uses only positive reinforcement in her techniques. She is also rescue friendly and works with our rescue and foster dogs which says a lot about her character! She is about helping dogs, not the almighty dollar. I also give her name to many of our previous adopters who are looking for an experienced trainer.

Stacy is an amazing trainer. She really blew me away with how much she knew about dog behavior and training. I was having issues with my dog attacking me when I put her harness on. It was so stressful for me and my dog to the point that I was in tears. I exchanged several emails with Stacy and even before our first session she went out of her way to provided information. She included articles, website links, and videos. After just one session I saw huge inprovements in my dog's behavior. The harness is no longer an issue! Stacy also helped me address the doorbell and guests entering my home, barking, and being defensive over food and the garbage can. I would highly recommend Stacy to anyone in need of a dog trainer.
