Just like humans, pets have unique personalities. These personalities are what we love about our pets - both the good and the (sometimes) challenging. If you need help addressing common pet-related challenges at home, we're here to help.

Virtual Dog Training

Some dogs learn best in a comfortable, familiar environment. And we know that pet owners need training options that work for them. To help our community of pet owners access training on demand, HSSW has partnered with the professionals at GoodPup to offer comprehensive and accessible one-on-one training with a certified trainer. Sessions are entirely virtual and performed through the GoodPup app or website and can be scheduled at your convenience.
