Hey, I’m Joe. 👋

I’m a former Army Ranger, Art School Drop out, IGP competitor and owner of Hodge Canine.

For me, dog training has never been about just getting a dog to sit, stay, or heel. Building a dog that is confident and clear is always the goal.

I believe attitude matters more than perfection. That building games are the best way to teach and train. And that training shouldn’t just produce obedience, it should allow dogs to live a fuller life.

If you want to understand your dog better, build a stronger relationship, and see what’s possible through training, give me a follow.

Dog training should look like real life and feel like play.

Welcome to Hodge Canine. 🤘

Play is the best form of learning.

Play is so much more than just having fun with your dog. It’s an opportunity to build communication, develop confidence, create engagement, and teach your dog how to work through challenges.

When a dog is genuinely invested in what you’re doing together, learning becomes something they WANT to participate in rather than something they HAVE to do.

Through play, we can teach dogs how to make choices, handle frustration, respond to pressure, and work with us. All while building a relationship that carries over into everyday life.

And here’s the best part. Your dog doesn’t even realize how much they’re learning.

Don’t get so caught up in teaching obedience that you forget to PLAY.

Dog training should look like real life and feel like play.

Meet Yoda! 🐾

He’ll be spending the next few weeks with us working on stability and impulse control.

The goal isn’t just to teach him to sit, stay, or hold a place command. It’s to help him learn how to make better choices, even when there’s something more exciting going on around him.

We’ll be building that through play, clear communication, and gradually increasing challenges as he learns to handle them.

Because impulse control isn’t about taking the fun out of life. It’s about teaching your dog how to enjoy that excitement without losing their mind in the process.

Follow along to watch Yoda’s progress over the next few weeks!
