About Preppy Pup

Behavior help in St. George

Preppy Pup is a St. George dog trainer specializing in behavior cases: aggression, reactivity, fear and other complex issues. Trainer Summer Hampy is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and Licensed Family Dog Mediator, and she serves clients in St. George and surrounding areas.

Services

Behavior support starts with a 75 to 90 minute consultation, followed by a customized plan and ongoing private in-person coaching, with help on management, enrichment and reactivity reduction. Common concerns include dogs who have bitten, barking, growling or lunging on leash, guarding, and extreme fear. For basic manners and puppies she offers group classes: Polite Pup Foundations for dogs 5 months and older, and Puppy Foundations for puppies under 5 months, focused on socialization, handling and confidence.

Approach

She uses an ethology-based, relationship-first approach grounded in modern behavior science, with positive reinforcement and the L.E.G.S. framework. She describes 3 years of professional experience and 6 years of prior training as a hobbyist.
