High Hopes Dog Training 4108 Electric Road, Roanoke, VA 24018

"We highly recommend High Hopes! Hope the owner is a wonderful trainer. My husband and I attended puppy kindergarten with our dog Izzy and we all learned so much. It was also fun! We did in-home private training as well. A good experience all around."

"We highly recommend Emily at High Hopes in her private lessons with your pups! She was very accommodating and responsive to our very weird schedule. She made us more confident in how to help our puppies in different situations, as well as taught them so much. Now we feel confident to join a group class, knowing they have their puppy basics! Thank you Emily and the High Hopes team, we could not recommend them enough."

"Emily is the sweetest and my dog Walter loves her! We started with private lessons and Emily came to our home to do the training which allowed Walter to feel more comfortable and confident while learning how to be a good boy. We worked our way up from extremely dog reactive to walking along side a trainer dog without incident. 5 stars! Thank you Emily!"

"I highly recommend working with this group for your dog training needs! My dog Curly Fry and I worked with Emily in private lessons with her “helper dogs” to work on his excitement and leash reactivity around other dogs. Emily was incredibly knowledgeable and patient and helped Curly learn to stay calm when encountering other dogs on walks and not pull and lounge on the leash towards them. Curly adores her and now I can walk him peacefully without being anxious about encountering other dogs on our walks. They use only positive techniques (no choke collars or electric shocks) and my dog learned a lot of great skills. He’s a very smart dog but not treat motivated, and being an 8 year old rescue dog I was worried about teaching this “old dog some new tricks”. Emily was able to try different training techniques and commands with him to find what worked for him to reach our goals."

"Hope and her team are amazing! We have a very highly reactive adolescent Australian Shepherd that I was about to give up on! So I hired Hope and she’s 100% correct with there’s hope for every dog! They’ve taught me so much about my dog I finally feel that she’s in a good place in her life! I trust Hope completely and let her socialize dogs in my business! I’m very grateful for what my dog and I have learned thru our training classes! They had to train me on how to handle my dog! And they are worth every cent we’ve spent! Thank you!"
