Mike Howd
Professional Dog Trainer
"We have been very pleased with Howds Hounds service! Our dog, Dory, a 2yr old pitmix, has stayed with them multiple times while we have gone away. Between the large fenced in yard to play, and Mike's own adorable pups for playmates—staying with them is a vacation for her as well! Mike has a calm approach when it comes to taking care of all animals. They just feel comfortable with him right away. He even had Dory doing tricks we didn’t think she could even learn at the end of just one week! Mike is professional and also very good about checking in and sending updates (including pics) for those of us who start to miss our puppy children."
