After only three lessons with Hope, Amber was a joy instead of a nightmare. She has learned many things I didn't think possible for such a strong-minded animal as this breed is. Hope has been a tremendous asset in teaching us how to control Amber. |

Peter was having a problem with men in authority positions. Since you worked with him, he is friendly with everyone, including the UPS guy! Our walks are no longer competitions between us. We even visit my friend in the nursing home together and Peter just settles down by her feet until we leave. Always count Peter and me in your loyal following. |

You truly helped us to make Sandy a well-behaved member of our family. I appreciate your patience with Sandy but even more so with us. You trained us as much as or more than Sandy. People tell me all the time what a great dog Sandy is and a big part of that due to her training. The credit for that training goes to you, as we could not have done it on our own. |

Hope's teaching methods were gentle and positive yet very effective. When each of our sessions was over, Dixie would run outside and jump in Hope's car. That speaks volumes about how my pet felt about her—and she is a very opinionated, headstrong dog! |

Hope has made such a difference in my life with her fantastic ability to train dogs. I had two dogs that were running the show. I had very little control and was at my wit's end. Right after the first lesson, I felt so much happier. Hope had so many excellent suggestions to solve the problems I was having with my older dog. He was a rescue and had been badly abused. He is very stubborn and untrusting. Within a short time with Hope he responded, and before I know it, he was following her lead and learning new tricks. We have all learned so much and are so much happier. Hope really changed our lives and I can't thank her enough. |

I have worked with Hope Cogen of High Hopes Dog Training for three years, both personally with my own dogs and professionally with our rescue dogs. I have found her training methods both effective and compassionate. She is able to clearly identify the training issues and apply her knowledge and experience to each situation. Rather than the "one solution fits all" approach I've encountered with previous trainers, Hope tailors the process for each dog and each unique family dynamic. I never hesitate to recommend Hope or call her personally when a training issue arises, be it getting a puppy settled and trained in a new home or dealing with older rescue dogs that often come with behavioral problems from the lack of training or abuse they've encountered in their previous homes.
