“Second To None Dog Training” Owner and Founder “Courtney Hunt”.
I am a Husband, Father, and a recently retired Marine. I have an immense love and passion for dog training. I also have in depth knowledge and experience when it comes to working with dogs of all breeds, regardless of past history (for example: trauma, ptsd, and aggression issues).
Our motto here at S2N is that “Obedience is no longer and option”, but don’t take this a threat to you or your dog. The saying is just a testament of how seriously I take dog training. I’m not limited to just one training tool, method, or style. I focus on the dog in front of me, meaning I tailor training to fit you and your dogs needs.
My business is very new and I understand that ratings/reviews are important. In the meantime I’ll leave my resume attached to the bottom, so you can see my qualifications and experience.
