Good Wellesley Dogs

We contacted Hillary right after adopting our 1-year-old dachshund, Maisie, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Hillary helped us set clear boundaries from the start, and the transformation has been amazing. Maisie has gained so much confidence, she now goes into her crate with no issues and stays calm while we’re gone, which once felt impossible. She walks beautifully by my side with no pulling and has great recall. We were even thrilled to see improvements in our senior dog, Bentley, on leash too, proof that old dogs really can learn new tricks! Hillary’s personalized guidance, encouragement, and practical advice made such a difference, and we’re so thankful for our happy, fulfilled pups.

Amazing - a true Dog Whisperer! We hired Hillary before we picked up our puppy, and our first session with her was when our puppy was barely 10 weeks old. As first time dog owners, Hillary trained us as much as she trained our puppy! Her instructions and approach are simple, make sense, and the results in our puppy were almost always immediate. We're so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from her right from the start. She always had the right equipment on hand, was great in suggesting home set up, what was working or what wasn't working. There is no one I would recommend more!!!

I had a great experience working with Hilary for training for my 1.5 yr old doodle. I was really at the end of my rope and she came in on day 1 with helpful tips and things we could work on between sessions that made a real difference very quickly. We immediately brought his crate back out from storage and she gave me strategies for helping my dog with crazy barking when people or other dogs can be seen from the window and how to manage his behavior when people come into the house. Hilary’s method of not just giving the dogs treats to get them to do what you but using the right training tools was a real game changer for me. I described my first walk with a different collar on my dog as life changing. And it really was. I hired Hilary for my younger dog but she also worked with my 4 year ol

Hillary is a wonderful trainer and immensely helped our young dog, Martini! Together, we worked on loose-leash walking, being less reactive towards other dogs on walks, and briefly touched on the basics of crate training. After 5 sessions, we have noticed significant improvement in how our dog interacts with other dogs and his ability to calm and self-soothe. We highly recommend!

Hillary worked wonders with our 14 month old puppy. Since working with Hillary, his separation anxiety is under control, he is able to calm himself more easily, and walks are so much more pleasant and productive! He was a fantastic, sweet pup prior to her help but now he is an even more enjoyable member of our family. Hillary was wonderful to work with throughout the whole process. She took the time to get to know our goals prior to training and has followed up with us to ensure continued success since our training ended. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Good Wellesley Dogs and are thankful for her experience!
