About The Loyal Hound

Board and train for behavior change

The Loyal Hound is a board and train program based in Kingston that focuses on behavior change, off-leash obedience and aggressive dogs. Owner and head trainer Jay Haley is credited with two decades of experience working with all breeds and temperaments, and says he tailors the training method to each dog based on breed, temperament and demeanor. Shannon Haley, a Certified Veterinary Technician, runs the business side and helps with the care of dogs in training.
