Meet Louca Hill (FFCPT)
Ask anyone who knows Louca and they'll tell you that dogs are all he talks about! He has been working with and studying dogs tirelessly since 2019. He became so dedicated to learning all he could about dog training that he even tailored his bachelor's degree to be all about it. He started his professional dog training at PetSmart, quickly becoming the head trainer for his district. This allowed him the opportunity to train the new dog trainers coming into the company, as well as manage and support all of the PetSmart trainers in his area. His district saw great improvement in their sales, and some of those trainers still look to him for advice when they're stumped by a particularly challenging case!
Louca specializes in training service dogs and therapy/comfort dogs with reward-based methods that emphasize the dog truly enjoying their job. He knows firsthand how these dogs can be truly life-altering for the better.
Louca is a Fear-Free certified professional trainer (FFCPT,) an AKC evaluator, and is currently working on earning his PCT-A certification through the Pet Professionals Guild.
Our Values
We are dedicated to accessibility.
We promise to do whatever we can to make your experience at Infinity Canine stress-free and conducive to your abilities. This may include providing payment plans to our clients when we are able.
We are evidence-based trainers.
We will always follow the science when it comes to training methods. We continue to educate ourselves and build our knowledge and skills. Currently, this means we will never use aversive methods with you or your dog. This includes special training devices such as prong collars, e-collars, choke chains, and slip leads.
We know our limits.
We will only take on clients that we believe can benefit from our expertise. We do not train aggression cases or severe anxiety cases. We will be happy to refer you to a better fit when this arises. We will always preserve the mental health and safety of your dog.
We champion honesty.
We will be clear and direct when we believe a dog is not the right fit for a specific job. We will never admonish you, our clients, for being truthful with us about how you train your dog or situations that you encounter with them.
