Hilton Butler's K-9 Bootcamp

We rescued a dog from a shelter right before she was to be euthanized. Our problem was the information we were given about the dog and our first impression of the dog, were vastly different than what we actually brought home. 4 days into the adoption, our home life had been flipped upside down. All our other animals were so stressed they were beginning to be covered in massive bald spots, because they were constantly licking themselves trying to self soothe. We worked with her all we could for four weeks, and then were faced with the tough decision of giving her up or investing in her. I called Christine crying and she helped guide me through both options, with resources, research, and no pressure either way. We decided to take the gamble and invest in professional training, and we are SO happy we did! Hilton and Christine are absolutely amazing! We simply could not have asked for a better experience! With their help we understand the dog we brought home, what we need to do to help her, and with their help, Cali is now the dog we need her to be. Sending Cali to them was 100% the best decision we ever could have made. From the bottom of our hearts, we sincerely thank them and will forever be grateful. More...

We started working with Hilton in 2015 after rescuing a young puppy dumped in our neighborhood golf course. We already had 2 dogs and were not prepared for what this sweet puppy grew up to become (90 pound pit/weimareiner mix). He was showing what we assumed was aggression only to learn he was demonstrating anxiety and fear. Hilton worked with Oakley for an extended period of time on basic obedience. Near graduation time Hilton indicated he thought it would be a good idea to bring the other 2 dogs to see how they all related (the pack). Within just a few minutes of the others arrival, it was apparent Oakley's anxiety and fear creeped in. He wasn't sure where he fit in the pack. Hilton asked for the other 2 to stay until he could get the three of them all ok with each other. It actually worked perfectly for us because we had a planned vacation and were going to board the dogs anyway. When we got back Hilton spent time with us discussing the pack mentality and how their pack was set up. He also reviewed the basic obedience commands and sent us home with a binder and dvd which I reference often. Our family made sure to continue to reinforce the training at home. Oakley and the other two had been great for 3 years. We moved recently and Oakley appeared to be digressing-becoming much more fearful therefore demonstrating defensive behavior. My immediate call was to Hilton who made a site visit within a few days of my call. We made some adjustments and learned new techniques (including using an e collar). After we worked with Oakley at home for a week or two, Oakley made an overnight visit with Hilton for some final tweaking. Hilton's understanding of the dog and ability to communicate to clients in a way that makes sense has been invaluable. We can not thank both Hilton and Christine for their service. They are my go to whenever I have concerns about our dog's behavior. More...

When my wife and I decided to get a high energy breed of dog (Vizsla), we knew we had two choices. 1. Spend money on having our puppy trained or, 2. Spend money on replacing items that would be destroyed while we attempted to train our new dog. I can say the training was money well spent. When we got our puppy back (and got her acclimated to our home environment) she knew where to got potty, would kennel up on command, knew her basic commands and, most importantly, did not chew our house up! We are such believers that we are considering the advanced training now that she is a bit more mature. More...

We recently had our Rottweiler puppy named JAX trained with Hilton, Jax has always been extremely sweet but has a ton of energy and kept getting into everything. I trained our last 2 Rotties and they were wonderful dogs. I have always been the type of person that said dog training was for people who couldn't control their dogs. We were referred to Hilton by a friend who has used Hilton on all of their dogs. So whether i lost my touch or Jax just proved to be a challenge we decided to take Jax to Hilton. We couldn't be any more pleased with the results we got and would definitely recommend Hilton to anyone out there looking for some help. Best of all after the initial training is done Hilton offers additional classes for your personal desires. I was shocked when Hilton followed up and asked how everything was after Jax had returned home. I told him that Jax would be overly excited when picking our kids up from school and there were a several other dogs and tons of 5 year olds running around so Jax would be a borderline out of control unless i was yelling at him like a crazy person. To my surprise Hilton offered to go with me the following day to pick my kids up so that he could show me how to correct the situation like a sane person. We live an hr apart so to me that says he truly cares about his work and reputation. On top of everything else Hilton offers boarding for the customers. Its always hard to leave our dog with strangers so having Hilton and his family care for our dog while we are out is like leaving him with family.I would absolutely recommend Hilton Butler Training.Richard Baro More...

We couldn’t be happier with Hilton Butler and his K-9 boot camp. Our Black Russian Terrier puppy attended the puppy campout program and after one month Hilton had her extremely well-trained in all of the areas the program focuses on including puppy manners, undesirable chewing, housebreaking, and crate training. Hilton thoroughly explained every aspect of her training when we picked her up. He also gave us a comprehensive manual to take home for reference, although he made sure to let us know that we could contact him at any time with questions. It has been 6 months since her training and our puppy still knows what she can and cannot chew on (she can distinguish between her toys and the childrens’ toys, shoes, etc.), happily goes into her crate as soon as she’s asked, and has zero accidents in the house. We also appreciate how Christine and Hilton kept us updated on how our puppy was progressing each week of the program. Another great aspect of their program is that you are allotted 3 additional follow-up visits from Hilton in case you think of any additional areas in which you would like your pet to receive training. Hilton Butler’s puppy campout program is thorough, effective, and produced excellent results for our family. Hilton and Christine are always available to answer any of our questions when they arise. Additionally, Hilton and Christine are wonderful, compassionate individuals and have treated us and our puppy like family. We recommend their program highly and without reservation. More...

The Butler team is awesome! Hilton really knows what he's talking about and his training has made a significant positive impact for our family. They were extremely flexible with us and worked around time challenges we had to make it easier on us. I'd absolutely recommend Hilton to anyone with a dog, young or old, if there are any issues, he can help resolve them. More...

A man who knows his business and that is to properly train both human and canine to bring about best possible outcomes. He loves the animals and only wants his two legged and four legged clients to be successful and enjoy each other as much as possible as a result.

I cannot thank Hilton enough for what he did for our family. We are a 2 dog household and after moving one of them developed an aggression issue to the point we thought we would have to give her up. Hilton worked with both of them until the issues were resolved. It's been over six months since they got out of training and they are back to being best friends, actually we can't keep them apart now. Thank you again Hilton and Christine for everything you did.

We sent our puppy to Hilton's boot camp and she came back a completely different dog! What was accomplished in four weeks still amazes us. Sure there are things we need to work on, but it's more about us learning how to deal with the situation now. It's been a pleasure to work with Hilton and Christine and we would most definitely recommend their services! We're looking forward to an in home class to help our son with the dog; as Hilton said he can bring his young daughter to help him out. We cannot thank you enough for helping us have the family dog we were hoping for. More...

Hilton is truly the dog whisperer! Doesn't matter the size or breed, he had an answer. Our puppy Jaxx loved him years ago and in March he turned our newly adopted Great Pyrenees with crate anxiety and behavioral issues into a well behaved delightful member of our family.

The difference in my dog is astounding. Before I sent Cooper (a puppy Goldendoodle) to Hilton, he would bite, bark, chew the furniture, and was terrified to be alone. On walks he would pull so hard on the leash I thought he would choke!

Hilton fixed all those issues. Cooper is an incredibly well-trained dog now, and no longer does any of the aforementioned challenges. Hilton fixed his bathroom cycle, his sleep cycle, and Cooper is just so well behaved.

NOTE! Your dog comes back to you as happy and loving as before. I was afraid I was going to get a robot back, but no, it's my same Cooper, full of love and joy, just without the biting. :)

I cannot recommend this school enough. It's a higher price, but your dog is gone for 3 and half weeks, and it's no different than the cost of boarding and training your dog at a facility. When I get my second dog, he'll be going straight to Hilton for training.

In addition, Hilton and Christine REALLY took care of his health. As a growing puppy, they made sure that:
A) Since he can't hold his bladder for 8 hours, that he was let out in the middle of the night to urinate.
B) They carefully monitored his weight to ensure that he was being fed the right amount for a growing puppy.
C) That he was giving anti-flea/tick medication during his time there.
D) That Cooper made it to his Vet appointments that were scheduled in order to keep him on track with health needs.

This man LOVES dogs. He would never allow harm to come to one. Trust a man your dog trusts, and go see Hilton. More...

Hilton goes above beyond when it comes to dig training! We brought Lucy home, full of high hopes and expectations and pretty much nothing went as planned. As it turns out, her breeders most likely took her away from her momma and litter mates too early and Lucy didn't have the chance to learn the puppy basics. This is where Hilon and his passion for working with K9s comes in. Hilton has been 100% committed to working with Lucy and our family - always available and willing to go the extra mille. We were at the end of our rope and Hilton and his precious family have saved our sanity, given us hope and are helping Lucy to become a better addition to our family. I can't thank him enough!!

We love you guys!! They took great care of our 2 fur babies and would certainly recommend them. While they stayed with Hilton, we were very nervous but Christine certainly put us at ease with the adorable pictures and progress reports. Our puppies have been back a few days and so far no chewing on furniture or shoes or us. They seemed to learn all they need to....it is us humans that are having to learn now. Thank you both!!

When we adopted Charlie, he was a hard-headed mess. He'd been running the streets for a while and thought he was the boss of everything. It was to the point where we were ready to send him back to the shelter' we hated to do that because, underneath it all, we could sense he was a good dog. Instead, we sent him to Hilton Butler's K-9 Bootcamp for a month.At bootcamp, he was challenged, praised, corrected. He learned doggie manners and now, while not perfect, he's a great companion. We didn't know that he had such a sensitive soul and sense of humor. Thanks, Hilton! More...
