Hickory Grove Kennels

Meet Ellie. She is 17 months old and having the time of her life accompanying me in the role of Service dog. Cathy, Ellie and I have been working together for a year now and it is Cathy’s expertise and guidance that has made this possible. She is an excellent, patient and loving mentor. Ellie has been able to travel with me, staying in hotels and a vacation resort as well as a fishing lodge over the border. Together we have lounged by the pool and dined in restaurants ranging from a hot dog stand to white tablecloth. She goes grocery shopping and to the hair salon. At all times Ellie has conducted herself as a well mannered, competent and poised Service dog. She receives compliments daily on her comportment. Our recent trip was four weeks and she had not one faux paw😃 or slip up. All this

Kathy is excellent with our boys. She's very detailed with all our boys needs and we wouldn't choose anyone but her to take care of our boys when we go out of town

Cathy, you are such a kind, patient trainer. I can tell you really love dogs and have a passion for what you do! We couldn't t be happier with Orion and his training! My family enjoys your training sessions and we are so thankful for YOU!

Cathy is the best at what she does. We have 2 Amstaffy puppies and we did the puppy obedience package with her and our boys responded to her in such a positive loving way. I strongly encourage her for training.

Cathy does a great job and my dogs always come home happy. Highly recommended
