Jason, Luna, and Leia testimonial photo

Jason, Luna, and Leia

My experience with Oh Hey, Dog! has truly saved my relationship with my Husky, Leia. Leia had never experienced love, she was chained to a tree her entire first year of her life before the rescue saved her. She did not understand living inside, and she did not understand that there were rules. When I first started working with OHD, Leia was completely unmanageable for me.

I was at my wits end and was ready to give her back to the rescue I got her from. She was impossible to walk, she destroyed everything she could reach, and she was having a lot of accidents in the house for months. Molly came and did a one on one with me and helped me to see what my dog needed from me. After one session and getting her on a gentle leader everything changed.

When I first started with Oh Hey, Dog! I was emotionally exhausted from trying to manage Leia, and I was ready to make a very difficult decision that would have broken my heart. All the Coaches helped me see that Leia just needed guidance and to understand what I wanted out of her.

Having people who understand what you are going through is so important. Everybody in the organization helped me realize that all dogs are different and you cannot expect one to learn like another. I am so thankful for the help of Oh Hey, Dog! and all of the people involved with it.

Josh and Dude testimonial photo

Josh and Dude

Molly from Oh Hey, Dog! asked me to bring my pup, Dude, to the weekend play group because he brings a good energy to the park. After joining the group, Molly quickly became one of his favorite people and he now thinks he works for Oh Hey, Dog! too.

Molly, Diane, and Abby are all great with the pups and I have seen how hard they work with the guardians' dogs as well as their own. Dude loves them all and would love to make new friends.

Overall I highly recommend working with these awesome people. They are knowledgeable and can not only help your dog, but they can also help you recognize behaviors in your dog that may be problematic so you can be more prepared to help prevent or correct behaviors.

Nicole and Dozer testimonial photo

Nicole and Dozer

Dozer and I have been a part of the Oh Hey, Dog! community since he was a puppy in early 2023. Dozer has always been a boisterous, confident, and fun-seeking guy, but around puberty his confidence and tenacity turned into a problem that resulted in one too many conflicts.

What started as fun Saturday playgroup trips turned into full blown training and behavior intervention. Oh Hey, Dog! gave me the information, tools, and most importantly the space to help guide Dozer back on track to being a functional member of society.

I was always nervous to do public training sessions with Dozer for fear of being judged. The group activities gave Dozer and me the opportunity to practice behaviors with others who understand.

Without OHD! I cannot imagine where Dozer and I would be now. I love bringing Dozer everywhere with me, and OHD! has given us that privilege.

Stephanie, Rob, and Toph testimonial photo

Stephanie, Rob, and Toph

We adopted Toph and were adopted into the Oh Hey, Dog! family. Right away everyone involved told us they would be there to help if we ever needed support. They had organized puppy coaching and socializing activities, and Oh Hey, Dog! was there for us all along the way.

Through their activities and a culture of community, the folks at Oh Hey, Dog! have cultivated a network of incredible people and incredible dogs that all help teach each other.

Oh Hey, Dog! has helped make mine and Toph's life bigger. Together we have tried brand new experiences like dock diving, the beach, seeing horses, markets, and hikes. They walked us through taking our first big trip to visit family.

They come from a place of care and knowledge. I am forever grateful to my Oh Hey, Dog! friends because they brought Toph into my life.

Jessica and Coco testimonial photo

Jessica and Coco

I first heard about Oh Hey Dog! from a friend who shared her amazing experience with the group and how much support she found there. Inspired by her story, I decided to get involved, but honestly, I was nervous at first.

My sweet girl Coco is a rescue, full of personality and at that time she had zero training, no leash skills, plenty of sass, and a bit of anxiety to top it all off. I was not sure how we would be received or if we were ready for something like this.

From the very beginning, though, all those fears melted away. Everyone in the group was so welcoming, understanding, and genuinely supportive. Molly has been incredible and somehow always knows exactly what to say when I am feeling overwhelmed or discouraged.

The truth is, I am not sure I could have kept Coco if it were not for the unwavering support and encouragement I have found here. This community did not just help me train my dog. They helped me believe in her, and in myself as her person.

Lynne and Martin testimonial photo

Lynne and Martin

In October of 2024 I was asked by the rescue I volunteer with if I would be willing to foster a dog, Martin, from Alachua County Animal Services. He was on the euthanasia list but staff felt that he was a dog that could be rehabilitated.

Leash walking proved to be a great challenge as he was very reactive when he saw other dogs. I tried everything I knew but nothing worked and I was giving up hope.

Then I remembered meeting a group one Sunday at Celebration Point. Within a week I had my first one on one with Molly. We worked together for months, no fee, no judgment, no shame, just great info on how to fix problems.

With Oh Hey, Dog, I felt supported, I was not alone, and the entire community rallied around when it was needed. Martin flourished and became the best dog.

Blanca and Xena testimonial photo

Blanca and Xena

When we got a four month old Rottweiler as a surprise, Xena was a love bug, but two weeks later this dog was a menace. She was destroying everything, barking at everyone, and was a nervous wreck around everything.

I was pregnant and scared that this dog would never learn. We tried loving her, being patient, watching training videos, implementing routines, and nothing was working, until I met Molly.

Molly gave me hope and tips on different things to work on. I followed her lead and started noticing changes. Then I got set up with Abby, Xena's new best friend. With Abby, Xena learned to walk on a leash and ignore other people while walking.

Oh Hey, Dog! has been the light at the end of the tunnel, and honestly the only reason Xena is still with our family.

Kate and Teddy testimonial photo

Kate and Teddy

I have had Teddy since he was eight weeks old. He is a stubborn, sassy Pyrenees mix who is always on alert and always convinced he is right. When we moved to Gainesville, I was nervous about how he would adjust and whether I would find a community that understood us.

Oh Hey, Dog! completely changed everything for us. They provided a safe, supportive space where Teddy could play, learn, and build confidence. The group gave him the chance to engage with other dogs in a nurturing environment, and it gave me peace of mind knowing we were not alone.

The pack walks were a game-changer, and the opportunity to foster helped Teddy grow even more. What Oh Hey, Dog! does does not exist anywhere else. It is more than training. It is real community, real support, and a safe space for both dogs and their humans to grow.

CJ and Splash testimonial photo

CJ and Splash

Before finding Oh Hey, Dog!, Splash was a really anxious dog. After just two days of small, positive interactions with other group members, Splash was showing big improvements.

Through group sessions, Splash was able to gain confidence, be more comfortable around other dogs, and trust his guardians in new surroundings.

The Oh Hey, Dog! community showed up for Splash and created a safe space for him to gain confidence and make some great dog friends.

Lila and Bunny testimonial photo

Lila and Bunny

The first time Bunny went to a dog park was terrifying. She was rushed by several big, aggressive dogs and became fearful of any other dogs.

When we first met Molly, I was overwhelmed with her openness, her confidence with Bunny, and her unending generosity and kindness. Throughout several training sessions, she helped us build up our confidence in each other and strengthen our relationship.

Thanks to Molly's guidance and the welcoming, familial atmosphere of the group, Bunny's confidence grew week by week. We are so grateful to Molly and the Oh Hey, Dog! community for the incredible support and love they show us.

Joyce, Mark, and Brittany testimonial photo

Joyce, Mark, and Brittany

We are so thankful for Molly and the fellow guardians and participants in the Oh Hey, Dog! community. Brittany was a pandemic pet adopted from the local county animal shelter.

It took us several months to figure out ways to effectively correct or redirect her behavior and even longer to read her vocalizations around us. It was definitely a learning process that, at times, we almost gave up on.

Eventually, she started calming down around other dogs at the park, on her walks, and while out in public places. We are thankful for the OHD community for allowing her to learn how to be content and play around other dogs.

Allison and Hank testimonial photo

Allison and Hank

After losing my older dog, Gus, my younger dog Hank began to struggle with some behavior issues. A first trainer left me feeling discouraged, warning me that Hank was reactive and aggressive.

Thankfully, a friend introduced me to Molly and the team at Oh Hey Dog, and everything changed. I still remember our first visit to Bass Pro Shop. Molly and her team immediately put me at ease and encouraged me to let him off leash with a small playgroup.

Over time, Molly and her team built Hank's confidence and mine. Today, Hank has a wonderful circle of dog friends and enjoys our walks, dock diving, and traveling without the issues that once seemed overwhelming.

Emma and Penny testimonial photo

Emma and Penny

Oh Hey, Dog! has changed me and Penny's lives in indescribable ways. When I adopted Penny, I quickly learned she was a major work in progress and needed support and structure that I had no idea how to provide.

This group is so much more than just a training and play group. Every single coach offers patience and intentionality towards not just managing the big feelings but understanding them.

Structured play groups, one-on-one training sessions with real-life triggers, and group pack walks empowered us to try new things and push ourselves toward success. I will be forever grateful for this community.

Tony, Wendy, and Bunny testimonial photo

Tony, Wendy, and Bunny

After a twelve year lull in puppy parenting, we finally decided to get another pup and found our adorable little shepherd, Bunny. She was eight weeks old and full of fire. The first week after she moved in, our quiet home was completely filled with chaos from an adorable beast from hell.

Nothing we could do would tire out the little monster, and hundreds of dollars on classes and training still left us struggling. Then after almost a year, we discovered a group, Oh Hey, Dog!, that hosted pack walks around Gainesville.

A simple new collar and a little quick coaching and suddenly Bunny was not quite as manic. Now the Oh Hey, Dog! group has literally changed our world. Bunny is a changed pup and getting better every day.
