Marshal has so much fun here! Great place to take your pups when the weather is bad and you want them to get their energy out! We did the one hour private session for his first time and us his parents and marshal loved it! Will definitely be going back!

I highly recommend The Handsome Hounds for all of your training needs. We recently adopted a 10 month old St. Bernard who came to us a complete mess regarding his behavior, and after only two classes with Andrew has gone from being completely unmanageable to us being able to walk him without fear of him attacking other dogs, or pulling on the leash. The training our dog, and we have received, has truly been life changing for the family dynamic as we will be able to enjoy walks with our dogs instead of dreading them.

Wow, just wow! What an absolutely stunning property—it’s truly every dog’s dream backyard! I’m so grateful to Sarah’s family for their generosity in allowing my anxious pup to run, sniff, and explore freely. Forrest Gump had the best day ever, and we’ll definitely be back for more zoomies. The 35-minute drive was totally worth it! The owners even took the time to mow the lawn, which was such a nice touch. Just a heads-up—make sure to use the restroom beforehand. I really hope everyone continues to respect and care for this amazing space so we can all keep coming back to make more happy memories!

We love taking our dogs to Courtney‘s sniff spot. It is clean and fenced beautifully, with lots of nice amenities. She’s a delightful host, and the space is perfect for our dogs.
