Mimi was an incredible guide to helping me and my two dogs adjust to some pretty big life changes. I came in to the training with a solid background in it, and Mimi took that in stride. She always made sure we had what we needed and answered more questions than she probably expected. I have the tools to equip my dogs to be their most confident selves and a relationship with my trainer that I know will go beyond our sessions! Can’t recommend highly enough. -Sulla & Marius' Mom

Life was so chaotic prior to training! We brought home a puppy who quickly picked up many unwanted puppy behaviors and we hoped she would grow out of them. Well, that didn't happen! Training with Mimi was life changing for us. We can now take Jetty on long walks with no issue, have her settle down on place when needed, and she understands the meaning of "no". We enjoy our dog so much more now! Thank you Mimi! -Jetty's owners

We had eagerly anticipated getting a dog for several years, envisioning the incredible bond and joy we would experience. The day we welcomed Machu Picchu into our lives was indeed a special one, but the day we began his training with Mimi was the best day ever. Our initial vision of a confident and well-behaved dog quickly faded as we discovered that Machu was incredibly insecure and fearful. Machu's behavior was far from what we had anticipated. His excessive barking became a constant presence, even just entering a room would trigger it. We found ourselves unable to invite people over, as his reactions to any movement would escalate into chaotic barking. The dream of a dog we could take anywhere quickly faded away, as Machu reacted intensely to every little thing during walks and car rides. Passing cars, bicycles, pedestrians, you name it—anything in motion would set him off. We resorted to walking him late in the evening, hoping to avoid encounters with people and other dogs, as these interactions triggered his uncontrollable behavior. Walking him on leash was a challenge in itself, as he would pull in every direction, mark territory excessively, even when there was nothing left to release. Compliance was partial at best, only when treats were presented as an incentive. Since starting our training sessions with Mimi, our dog's world has transformed in the most incredible way. We introduced structure into his life, expanding his horizons and offering him a sense of security. The progress has been remarkable. Machu now walks calmly on the leash, making pack walks an enjoyable experience. He can also relax when we have guests over, showing curiosity towards people and even making a few human friends. Taking him to new places has become less overwhelming, as his reactions have become more manageable. His confidence has grown significantly, although we acknowledge there is still a journey ahead. Witnessing him blossom and discovering his true personality has been an absolute delight. While Machu still possesses his unique quirks, don't we all? It's all part of what makes him the wonderful and individual dog he is becoming. Mimi has been an incredibly patient guide for us throughout this entire process. Whether in person or through text and email, she consistently addressed our questions with understanding and expertise. Her knowledge on dog training has been evident as she tailored each session to meet our specific needs. We greatly valued her reliability and promptness, appreciating that she always arrived on time for our sessions and maintained clear communication throughout the training journey. What truly stood out to us was Mimi's approach of involving us in the training. She actively encouraged our participation, equipping us with the necessary knowledge and tools to continue Machu's training even after the sessions concluded. This not only empowered us as dog owners but also ensured that the positive changes we witnessed would endure in the long run. We are grateful for her guidance which has been instrumental in shaping Machu into the remarkable dog he is becoming. Thanks for being awesome, Mimi -Machu's Owner

"Mimi is the absolute best!! Let me just start by saying we absolutely recommend her for your training needs!! I found her on Instagram and loved all of the expert advice she shared and felt a general connection to her style of training! We immediately booked a new addition consult once we adopted our puppy, Izzy— she really listened to our experiences at that time and provided great foundational advice as new dog owners. We also opted for the nutrition consult with Payton and it was so helpful! It was amazing we had that as an option to add. Once Izzy was old enough, we started private lessons since we wanted to be heavily involved in training so we could remain consistent with it. Mimi always came on time and ready to tackle the issues. We saw so much improvement even after one lesson. To this day we keep a consistent structured routine and Izzy thrives with it! Mimi’s weekly homework, training tips, and wrap up documents are so helpful to reference whenever we need to go back to the basics. During our training package, Mimi was ALWAYS available to answer any questions or concerns and still does even now! Overall, Mimi herself is 5/5 stars, the training is 5/5 stars, the results are 5/5 stars and everything else is 5/5 stars. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!" - Nicole & Dylan

"I can't begin to describe how Hadley Training Co has changed my family's life. Mimi took 7 lbs/8 month old Bo Ryan (Malshi) and transformed him into the greatest dog we could have ever hoped for. He's literally transformed from household nightmare to a Westminster Dog Show dream. Mimi doesn't just train your dog to listen to sit. Mimi transforms their mindset - of course, you're going to have to change your mindset too so you can be the leader your dog is trained to see you as. Mimi goes above and beyond to help you learn and is supportive every step of the way. She provides useful videos, reading material, and personal conversations to give you the whole package. And maybe, if you're lucky, you'll get to meet the famous Hadley. 100 out of 5 stars. Definitely recommend." - Tabacoff Family

"I came to Mimi because Poppy, my half French/half English Bulldog was extremely stubborn and ran the show and I didn’t know how to control it myself. She pulled me on walks and would bark and cry at me until we got what she wanted. Mimi not only transformed Poppy, but she changed the way I see our relationship- I can be in charge but still have fun with my puppy. ONE of the best outcomes is being able to enjoy long walks with her now! As a dog mom I was nervous to leave her for a week but Mimi kept me constantly updated and I got to ask all my thorough questions during our mid-week FaceTime. She still answers any questions I have. I am forever grateful for HTC!!!" - Lindsay

"Our 4mo old lab was a rambunctious “Tasmanian devil" who was difficult to walk, calm down, and redirect. At times I even regretted getting such a young dog. Now, after the Head Start Puppy Program with Hadley Training Co he is able to take part in every family outing due to his ability to listen to commands and calm on place. I am still in disbelief on how fast Mimi was able to gain control of Guinness and redirect his puppy behaviors. I highly recommend Hadley Training Co to ALL dog owners in the hopes they too can become your dream dog!" - The Mahoney Family

“The first time we considered training for Holly we had already had an accident. My daughter was seriously hurt while trying to find Holly after she ran away in a storm. We needed help for Holly’s bad behaviors. Enough really became enough. Since Holly had her 2 week stay at Hadley Training Co., she has a completely  different energy. She listens and relaxes, which in return has relaxed our family and eased any concerns that she will ever run away again. And if she does, we have the confidence that her e-collar and continued follow through will keep strengthening her commands. Mimi sent Holly home with detailed instructions to follow for the whole family to read along with videos to help guide us. When Holly came back home Mimi made sure each of us knew how to handle Holly and her commands. She made suggestions and left us feeling really confident. I like to think we are making you proud as we work with her to become the best dog she can be.” - The Parks Family

"It’s been a few weeks since we picked Eden up from her Head Start Puppy Program with Hadley Training Co., and we still cannot believe the transformation! When we left Eden with Mimi, she was a confident but nervous 5 month old puppy with little understanding of commands or consequences. Mimi was able to teach Eden the structure that she needs to thrive, while holding her responsible for her negative behaviors and reinforcing positive choices. The “place” command is one of the most valuable commands Eden has learned. It allows me the time to complete my work and gives her a restful option where her mind is still at work! To our surprise, the “place” command, along with the balanced tools, has curbed her resource guarding by giving her a safe space to enjoy her chews! She has been nothing but calm, ready to work, and happy since returning home to us, and now looks to us for guidance before making decisions! Having Mimi there to build Eden’s foundation was, for us, the deciding factor in choosing Hadley Training Co. It has been clear since the beginning that Mimi has a strong understanding of a how a dog’s mind works. Since bringing Eden home, we cannot believe how much she has learned in such a short time, and how the training tools and techniques help to solidify that material in just a weeks time. Mimi even provided us with a unique, comprehensive go home packet detailing every Eden-specific detail we could need. We are unbelievably grateful to Mimi for taking Eden on in her Puppy Program, and recommend Hadley Training Co. to anyone who wants to build a better relationship with their dog!" - Dana

"Mimi is a patient, knowledgeable, and all-around phenomenal trainer. Before we hired Mimi to train our dog Zamora, she was an extremely excitable and anxious dog who did not know how to be calm around anyone other than myself and my boyfriend. We couldn't have people over or take her on other outings with us because she was out of control and couldn't relax. After 6 weeks of private lessons with Mimi, Zamora has become a changed dog. She now understands how to calmy exist with us and with other distractions (people) around, she listens to commands, walks better, and has more trust in us as her owners. We cannot recommend Mimi and Hadley Training Co. enough. They changed our lives!" - Rachel

"We can’t say enough great things about Mimi and the training she provided our sweet Tommy. From the time we inquired about her program to updating us during the week and following up after he came home, the passion and experience Mimi brought to the table really made the difference for our puppy. One of our main concerns was that Tommy needed structure before we brought home our newborn and while he’s still a puppy and we knew we’d still have work to do, just that 1 week alone matured him incredibly. He knew more commands and had a newfound understanding of obedience. He was still our baby with his adorable personality, but more refined. Thank you so much, Mimi. We highly recommend you and will absolutely come back to you for his off leash training!" - The Broderick Family

"We are so grateful for Hadley Training Co! Mimi and Payton were amazing with Leo. He went into their two week boarding program as an anxious and sneakily rebellious pup. He came back to us as a dog who trusts us when he’s scared and listens to us even when he doesn’t want to! Mimi and Payton were amazing in explaining the reasons behind Leo’s behaviors, and gave us manageable ways to ensure his success. They were so great with providing homework during the two weeks so we were ready for Leo’s return home.On top of all of this, they gave our pup so much love! We were nervous about leaving him for two weeks, but the communication and evident passion they have truly put us at ease! 10/10 recommend!!!" - The Merlo Family

“I cannot believe the transformation of my little girl Keelin in the two short weeks she spent at Hadley Training Co. Previously, Keelin was leash reactive, she would dart away whenever given the opportunity, and was a frequent counter surfer; not to mention she would bark at me non-stop until I would give her whatever she wanted. In short, Keelin was a princess with a serious lack of rules and structure. Mimi was able to give her the structure she needed and then teach me how to enforce it. In the two weeks they worked with Keelin, she learned so much I couldn’t even believe it. I always thought I could train her myself and did not want to accept help, but Mimi’s help was the best decision I ever made; now I’m in control again! Keelin can walk by other dogs with no reactions. When I am hiking with Keelin, I now feel comfortable and confident letting her enjoy time off leash because of her reliable commands. Most importantly, when we are inside and Keelin is being bothersome I now tell her “place” and she lays down in her bed until I tell her otherwise. I am able to get what I need to get done and then when I am ready I can attend to her, I am the boss of the relationship once again.”  -Lauren
