Hudson Barks

I’ve had my whippet puppy in their group training classes for the past 2.5 months and it’s been incredible! Rebecca has been an incredible trainer and support system through all puppy issues.

The training is all positive reinforcement and I’ve watched my dog go from not knowing a single command to being able to do commands outside with distractions.

My dog will start wagging her tail all excited when she realizes she’s going to see Rebecca for her weekly lesson. I can’t thank Hudson barks and Rebecca enough!

We've had such positive experiences with the Hudson Barks classes - our puppy Hazel has now gone through 3 different offerings from Hudson Barks (Puppy Start Right, Puppy Socialization, and private sessions) and has made so much progress each week. Jennifer and Tracy have been tremendous help in getting both me and Hazel started on our training journey, and Hazel loves them!

My dog, Derby, and I loved Hudson Barks for pre-teen obedience school! The trainer, Jennifer, was very friendly, effective and helpful in training our small class, giving us all the attention we needed in an intimate setting. The facility was clean and had any necessary accessories/equipment in case we needed props, and they also have treats and toys for purchase. My dog was very responsive to Jennifer and she helped me get my dog to be equally as reactive and responsive to me. The class is really about the parents learning, which was great! I’d recommend Hudson Barks to any other dog parent looking to train their pup!

Hudson Barks and their trainer Tracy Kral have been live-savers over in our household. We recently rescued a chihuahua and introduced him into our home with another dog and were at a complete loss when it came to training him with our other dog constantly stealing the treats and being dominant.

Tracy was able to help us establish ground rules and behavior modifications that worked specifically for our household ON THE FIRST SESSION! We had our new dog sitting by the end of the first session which was remarkable as I had failed, on my own, several times.

Tracy and the team at Hudson Barks were so responsive and QUICK (unlike other options we reached out to) and we quickly booked! Tracy would also send a very in-depth and detailed recap of what was worked on and what to master between sessions full of links and resources!

Tracy's love of animals and connection is so apparent and she is supremely positive and encouraging and also recognized things we were needing to address in order to achieve our goals. PLUS, She was willing to acknowledge things that weren't a priority in our household and focus on the things that were which shows great strengths in her training philosophy.

Honestly, strongly strongly recommend!

Jennifer has been a such blessing. My family and I recently got a puppy, with all the biting, potty accidents, and endless nights of sleep, it got very overwhelming. It got to the point where we considered returning the puppy.That is when we reached out to Hudson Barks. Jennifer is very professional and super knowledgeable. She listened to our concerns and gave us solutions to each. She provides a detailed review of what we cover in each lesson, so we can refer back to it and continue the training at home. She helped give me the confidence to train my pup and create a stronger bond with him. He has become more well behaved compared to when we first got him. We don't know where we would be without Jennifer. My family and I are forever grateful to her expertise!!
