MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO
Hey, I'm Andi!
Hi there, I’m Andi Herndon, the proud owner and passionate founder of Andi Herndon’s Hounds. Dogs have been a lifelong passion for me, and I’ve always believed they aren’t just pets—they’re family. That’s why I started this business: to provide the kind of care, love, and attention that every dog deserves, just as I would for my own.
Growing up, I was always surrounded by dogs, and they taught me so much about unconditional love, loyalty, and joy. Over the years, I’ve dedicated myself to understanding their needs, behavior, and care, which inspired me to create a place where every hound is treated like royalty. At Andi Herndon’s Hounds, my goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, loved, and happy, whether they’re here for a quick service or a longer stay.
Every dog that comes to us is treated with the same level of care and attention as my own. I take pride in offering a welcoming, clean, and nurturing environment where your hound can feel at ease. From playtime and exercise to grooming and specialized care, every aspect of my business is built with your dog’s happiness and well-being in mind
What truly sets us apart is the personal touch. I make it a point to get to know each dog and their unique personality so I can tailor our services to their needs. Whether they’re an energetic pup who loves to run or a senior dog who needs a gentler touch, we’re here to provide the perfect experience.
At Andi Herndon’s Hounds, it’s not just about the services we provide—it’s about the relationships we build with both the dogs and their owners. I want you to feel confident and at peace knowing your beloved hound is in good hands.

TESTIMONIALS
Adrienne Kassel
Andi knows dogs and is an excellent trainer. She has helped me with three of my dogs, and they are all well behaved and have earned their Canine Good Citizen awards. Andi is able to catch little things that would make working with your dog more effective, and understands how to adapt the training to each dog's temperament and personality. I definitely recommend Andi if you are looking for a trainer!
Mia
Andi Herndon’s Hounds is hands down the best experience I’ve ever had with a dog care service. My senior dog, Bella, is usually anxious around new people, but Andi’s gentle and caring approach put her at ease immediately. The facility is clean, organized, and welcoming. I’m so grateful to have found Andi—she’s a lifesaver!
Ava
Andi Herndon’s Hounds goes above and beyond! The love and attention my dog received were beyond what I could’ve hoped for. From playtime to grooming, everything was handled with such professionalism and care. My dog, Luna, came home happy and relaxed. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with her care. Highly recommend Andi!

Andi Herndon’s Hounds Tips
Get quick, actionable tips and expert advice to help you make the most of our services and stay informed.
Start Training Early
Beginning training at a young age is crucial for your pet’s development. Puppies and kittens are more receptive to learning, and early training helps establish good habits and social skills. Focus on basic commands like "sit," "stay," and "come," and gradually introduce more complex tasks as your pet matures. Consistency and positive reinforcement will help them learn faster and build confidence.
Use Positive Reinforcement
Positive reinforcement is one of the most effective training methods. Reward your pet with treats, praise, or playtime whenever they successfully follow a command or display good behavior. This encourages them to repeat the desired actions and fosters a strong bond between you and your pet. Avoid punishment, as it can lead to fear and anxiety, making training more difficult.
Socialize Your Pet
Socialization is essential for helping your pet become well-adjusted and confident. Expose them to various environments, people, and other animals from a young age to prevent fear and aggression. Arrange playdates with other pets, visit dog parks, or enroll in group training classes. A well-socialized pet is more likely to respond positively to commands and behave appropriately in different situations.
