Hemlock K9 Training of Bloomfield

Hemlock K9 Training of Bloomfield is a Dog Training business in Bloomfield, CT. The company focuses on improving communication and clarity in human-canine relationships, addressing behavioral issues such as reactivity and aggression, or teaching basic manners. The training approach treats the dog as a whole, considering both the psychology of the dog's mind and its physical wellbeing.

The owner, Melissa, began her career in dog training in Summer 2019 after working for four years in the collections and exhibits department at the CT Historical Society. Her transition into training was prompted by her own German Shepherd, who exhibited protective behavior and counter-surfing habits. Melissa apprenticed at K9one at Stonehill Kennel in Goshen, CT, under mentor Chris Byrne, a former K-9 Bomb Detection supervisor for the World Trade Center recovery mission who trained police and companion canines for over 30 years. During her two years at K9one, she worked with a wide range of dogs, from 8-week-old lab puppies to 120 lb Cane Corsos with severe aggression issues and 12-year-old Coonhounds with anxiety.

Hemlock K9 Training offers several distinct programs. Board & Train is the most popular option, where the dog stays with the trainer to implement learned skills into everyday life, suitable for dogs needing extended time or owners with busy schedules. Day Train provides a structured day of training and socialization for local clients, with 2, 4, and 6-week program options. Walk & Train combines dog walking with ongoing training, helping to maintain skills after completion of other programs. Tails & Trails Adventures offers a day of hiking, swimming, and adventure, focusing on socialization, pack manners, and off-leash skills like recall. Puppy Day Train helps shape young dogs with skills such as loose leash walking and basic commands. Pack Walks are held one to two times a month to practice learned behaviors.
