My name is Erika, I am the owner and operator of Hearth & Hound LLC. Welcome to my passion and my calling here on this earth, being a professional dog mom. My intention is to become your primary resource of support in accomplishing what all dog owners set out to achieve - a happy dog. I believe that our dogs are an extension of both us and of our homes. By providing personalized care to your canines we can establish the harmony each dog occupied home deserves. From quick walks all the way to intensive training and coaching I am there for you each step of the way.

Beyond being abundantly passionate about holistic dog care I also bring a solid background of working professionally as a trainer as well as managing and co-operating a highly successful pet care company in one of the nations most dog forward cities - Austin, Texas. I approach dog training with an open mind and a creative outlook. By cultivating a safe and supportive learning environment for both handler and the dog it allows communication and inspiration to come easily. I treat each and every dog with the respect, patience and understanding they deserve.

I am continually educating myself in all aspects of varied training methods, dog psychology and care. I believe that my passion for what I do will shine through in the quality of services I provide and I am excited to build relationships based on trust with both my clients and their dogs.
