New clients can check the status of whether my books (both remote and in-person) are open at any given time at the top of the page at https://www.hotfuzzdogtraining.com/private-training Please note that I am usually scheduling appointments 10-14 days+ in advance. Thanks and happy (almost) summer 🌞

Remote training is not a lesser option to in-person sessions. I prefer starting all clients with at least one remote session so we can get our bearings with each other and so I can get you and your dog started right away with suggestions to minimize the occurrence of any unwanted behaviors before we...

July 8, 2021 Update - For new prospective clients - please check your spam or promotions folders for email replies as sometimes they land there. No group classes are currently scheduled. Remote sessions are currently scheduling about 2 weeks out for a first session and for in-person private training sessions I am currently scheduling about 3 weeks to 4 weeks out depending on where you live. If you have a very flexible schedule and can quickly hop into a cancelation slot I might be able to fit you in sooner. If you work M-F 9-5 and have a tight window of availability or live outside of Columbia County you may need to schedule a month in advance for your first session. There are many new dog owners in our area so expect all pet related services to be very busy; trainers, boarding facilities, day care, groomers, veterinarians. Get in touch with services you will need in the future early!

We at Hot Fuzz are cat people too! Loved this feature with artist Ai Weiwei. "I’ve learned so much from animals. It’s important to be around another species that has a completely different set of instincts and intuitions. Humans are so rational. We are defined by our knowledge, and that blocks our emotions and understanding of ourselves. But anyone who opens their mind or heart to cats can experience something that can’t be found in human society. They teach you that you can have a happy life without knowing anything at all. They take care of themselves, and they make their own fun. To be an individual, to be self-content — those are nice qualities for a life."

The artist Ai Weiwei is inspired by the resilience and self-contentment of his beloved cats.

Our snuffle mat factory was extremely busy leading up to and through the holidays. The "factory" will go on hiatus shortly so if you were thinking of getting one..... message us asap. Want to know what a snuffle mat genius looks like? Look no further! The parting of the strips with a quick back and forth of the nose? Just pure genius!

Our Snuffle Mat "factory" is back with some new custom color options if you dare! Does your dog like following scents and snarfling around in the grass on walks and need an indoor outlet for that activity? Does your dog need something to keep them busy while you're on a call? Is your cat bored and needing something fun to do? Do you need a gift for a pet owning friend or family member? A snuffle mat might be the answer to all of these things. Learn more about and purchase your snuffle mats by going to http://www.hotfuzzdogtraining.com/shop Video in the comments below so you can see them in action!
