The Founder & The Foundation

Meet the Founder

Sonya Weatherall

Founder & Lead Trainer

Hounds With Halos was built with intention,

Not around trends or quick solutions, but around structure, steadiness, and thoughtful leadership.

I have long believed that strength is developed through consistency - and that calm guidance shapes both dogs and the people who lead them.

We begin with foundation. Always. Progression is earned, never rushed. Reliability is not performed; it is cultivated through patience and clarity.

Whether working with families, young handlers, or future service teams, the standard remains the same: composed, capable dogs built through respectful partnerships.

The work we do is meant to endure - in daily life, in public spaces, and in the quieter moments at home.



We build carefully, so what is established here does not need to be rebuilt later.
