About Hunt’s Home and Hound Care

Hunt's Home and Hound Care works in Fuquay-Varina and out across Raleigh, Cary, Holly Springs, Apex, Angier, Garner and Pittsboro, offering in-home dog training alongside pet sitting. The business states it is insured and bonded, background checked and first aid certified, and offers both in-person and virtual courses, starting with a free consultation.

A training philosophy that is genuinely its own

Most training pages in this metro promise obedience. This one starts by arguing about what obedience should cost the dog: "My goal is not to suppress the natural behaviors that make dogs who they are. Dogs bark, sniff, chew, chase, explore, and investigate the world around them. Training should not remove those instincts. It should teach dogs how to live successfully in our homes while giving owners the tools to create structure, clarity, and reliability." The business summarizes that as "obedience without undogging your dog," and repeats it as "train the dog, not a robot."

How the training runs

Programs are tailored, "whether you're working with a new puppy, basic obedience challenges, or more advanced behaviors," and the argument for the in-home format is practical rather than convenience-led: "In-home training fits your schedule and takes place in your dog's real environment, making learning more practical and effective." The stated focus is "real-life household skills."
