ABOUT

who is pack love?

Hi, I’m Hilary — dog mom to Lola and Bingley, and a trainer focused on dog psychology, relationship-based training, and calm leadership.

If you’re navigating life with a reactive or sensitive dog, I see you — and I’m so glad you’re here.

When I adopted Lola, a bully mix with a big heart and even bigger feelings, I didn’t realize I was reinforcing her reactivity by allowing her to live in a constant state of stress. I thought she was just excited, just stubborn, just “being her.” But over time, that unchecked energy became fear and reactivity — and traditional obedience wasn’t helping us connect or communicate any better.

I began studying dog psychology and everything shifted. I learned how to lead calmly, advocate for her needs, and build a relationship rooted in trust and mutual respect. She got better — and so did I.

That transformation is why I do what I do now: helping humans step into conscious leadership and build strong, respectful relationships with their dogs.

If you’re ready to shift from reactivity and confusion to clarity and connection, I’d be honored to support you.

APPROACH

Dog Psychology and Human Education

My goal is to help you build a strong, trusting relationship with your dog by addressing the root cause of behavior — not just the symptoms. Through the lens of dog psychology and relationship-based training, I’ll guide you in learning how to communicate clearly, lead with calm confidence, and support your dog in the world you've brought them into. Whether your dog is reactive, overly excited, or deeply sensitive, I believe that — with the right support — you both can experience more freedom, less stress, and a more peaceful daily life together. My job isn’t just to train your dog — it’s to teach you how to teach your dog. Because when you lead, they follow.

TESTIMONIALS

Client Love

"Cultivating Calm was a great way to focus on and reinforce calm behavior. We learned and practiced several methods and utilized different tools. Hilary provided numerous helpful videos that were great “how-to” examples. I really enjoyed the long-line work and emphasis on structure at home. I definitely feel like the class has made for a much calmer home environment which was my primary goal."

"Hilary has been a leader of our Bully Breed Bunch community since we started Lead With Love University. She is the Captain of San Diego and has been everything this community needs and more. We appreciate her dedication to humans and dogs. She truly has become exactly what the dog community has needed for so long."

"My dog made friends with the dog of the girl I've been dating! It wouldn't have been possible without you. I walked the dogs side by side, then eventually they had some loose lead play time with each other. You have changed our lives. Thank you so very much!"
