Hound Help Dog Training Ottawa

Justyna is great! She is very professional, experienced, kind and always available to respond to questions several months after the main training session. She truly wants you to succeed and cares so much about your dog’s wellbeing. Thanks to her help and guidance, I realized that once I made the necessary changes at home by creating healthier boundaries, walks with my dogs became calmer and enjoyable! I highly recommend her!

Justyna at Hound Help is truly a dog whisperer! She assessed my dog Finley and within just a few minutes she knew what the issue was, and had simple solutions that I could immediately do to help him with his poor behavior. His main issues were that he excessively barked, pulled on the lead, and had separation anxiety (barking when I left and chewed my belongings).Since Justyna has given me amazing tools and helped me realize how I can lead Finley, his behavior has changed! He is much more relaxed and I feel better about taking him on walks! Recently, when I have been dog sitting other dogs, I've been using her techniques and the dog's behavior has been improving too! It really does work!I recommend Justyna to anyone who is having trouble with their dog's behavior and feels like giving up! Chat with her!! It will change everything!! :)

I reached out to Justyna just before we were to pick up our 9 week old male aussielabradoodle Enzo". We only ever had a small dog and hadn't had a big dog in the family yet

Working with Justyna has been amazing. Our very leash reactive pup has been transformed! (And so are we as dog owners)Justyna’s advice and methods work! She spent hours with us during her initial visit, and has been great to work with over the last several months. She is quick to respond to emails and questions. We know training never ends, but our dog is now fun to walk on leash and we couldn’t be happier.If you’re looking for help (beyond the basic ‘sit’ ‘stay’ commands) Justyna is the trainer for you!

Justyna made such a difference in my life and life of my pup George. Justyna is very caring, punctual and very knowledgeable when it comes to pets! She keeps in touch to ensure that everything is okay and is always there for advice or any help! We have been struggling with George's behaviour for a while and watched tons of YouTube videos about obedience but nothing seemed to help, he just didn’t understand what I wanted from him. On top of all that he was very anxious always waiting for something, which made it difficult for me to take him somewhere as I always had to be prepared and didn't know what to expect from him. Justyna's approach was very different from what I've seen before and our session just blew my mind! She focuses on explaining how dogs minds work so that you're able to communicate what do you want from them in an understandable (for them) way. We're still learning but even during our first session I saw changes in his behaviour, he is so much calmer now and he finally listens to me, I couldn't be happier and so is my pup!

At first I was a skeptic about paying for a single training session, but the moment she walked into our house I realized that we just hired the dog whisperer. She not only explained her philosophy, she showed use how it worked at the same time. After the training we immediately saw improvements in our puppy’s behaviour. Her training methods are not so much about training the dog, but coaching you as an owner. These methods made me a much better pet owner and was well worth the investment. Her lifetime guarantee is amazing. We unfortunately lost our puppy not much long after the training. When we were ready to fill that gap again we immediately called Justyna and were just ready to take our money, but she informed us that it was for our dog’s lifetime. It was for ours. She immediately set up a plan to address the issues we were having with our dog and got to work with us again. Just like the last time we immediately started seeing the changes in his behaviour. I can honestly say she has been nothing but a pleasure to deal with and I recommend her to EVERY dog owner I know regardless of how long they have had the dog. Thank you Justyna!

I contacted Justyna after my dog had an aggressive interaction with another dog at a dog park.I had done basic puppy training which was ok. But what I learned from Justyna was so much more. The biggest thing I learned was more about me as a dog owner and how my dog’s behaviour was a reaction to that.I met one-on-one with Justyna twice and then she returned a third time as I was still having some difficulties with my dog. We had a scheduled call once a week to discuss any issues and she was always responsive when I messaged her to ask a question.Justyna is just a sweet, happy, and truly amazing trainer. She wants you to succeed and will stay with you for as long as that takes.Thanks Justyna for all your amazing help.

I don’t know where to begin this review! If you need help with your dog, don’t look ANY further. Justyna is it! She is the reason I was able to keep patience and faith during many difficulties with our husky puppy. He was a tricky little one (anxiety, house/crate training, leash walking, dominance, obedience) and Justyna was there for months on end with training, guidance, support, and endless encouragement. She spent several hours at our house during her initial visit and continued with countless text messages and phone calls over a 7 month period (and I know she is just a phone call away if/when something else comes up in the future). She is worth every penny and will not give up until you reach success with your dog. Her guidance is extremely intelligent, knowledgeable, and there are no questions that she doesn’t have the answer to. It’s so apparent how much she cares about the dog's and her clients’ success – she will coach you just as much as you will coach your dog. Her instruction is very personalized and thorough, I truly could not have gotten through those difficult puppy days without her. If you are looking for support and direction with your dog, whatever it may be, this is as good as it gets.

I fully recommend working with Justyna! I have a rescue and he deals with anxiety and reactivity. Justyna's approach is holistic, looking at your whole relationship with your dog and all the associated interactions, rather than just addressing one type of issue. This bottom-up approach really helped to shift my relationship and leadership with my pup. Justyna is super responsive and has offered us long term support! Thank you!!
