About Our Trainers
Erika Hall – Owner of Strutt Your Mutt
I’m Erika Hall, the proud owner of Strutt Your Mutt. My journey into dog training began with my own dog, Penny, whose struggles with dog aggression and car anxiety inspired me to study dog psychology. Drawing insights from renowned trainers like Cesar Millan and The Monks of New Skete, I successfully transformed Penny’s behavior. This success fueled my passion to help more dogs, leading me to adopt Teak, a fearful and anxious rescue. After seeing remarkable progress with Teak, I knew I was destined to work with dogs. In 2012, I turned that passion into Strutt Your Mutt.
The early years were a learning curve, relying solely on self-taught knowledge and hands-on experience to build my reputation. By 2016, eager to grow further, I trained under Cheri Lucas and Brian Agnew at the Lucas Agnew workshop in California. Their guidance deepened my understanding of dog behavior and strengthened my ability to teach effective strategies for owners to build strong, healthy relationships with their dogs.
Today, I remain committed to helping every dog and owner unlock their full potential. I approach each dog as an individual, embracing their unique personality, environment, and challenges. By keeping an open mind, I continue to learn, grow, and lead with compassion, helping both dogs and their owners create lasting harmony.
Hilary Briggs – Trainer at Strutt Your Mutt
I’m Hilary Briggs, a proud Grand Valley native with a Bachelor’s in Biology from Colorado State University. After three years in a communications role that left me unfulfilled, I decided to follow my passion for animals and explore a career in dog training. In 2017, I began shadowing local trainers, and my time with Erika at Strutt Your Mutt ignited my love for the profession. After four months of mentorship, Erika offered me a position, and I’ve been proudly training dogs here since March 2018.
In addition to dog training, I’ve been a Barre instructor at ROKbarre in downtown Grand Junction for two years. Barre’s focus on mind-body connection has complemented my work with dogs, teaching me balance, focus, and patience—skills essential to understanding and training each unique dog.
With Erika’s guidance, I’ve grown as both a trainer and a person. I’ve expanded my knowledge through the Lucas Agnew Workshop, learning from Cheri Lucas and Brian Agnew, and continue to develop my skills every day. My goal is to advocate for dogs and create harmony between dogs and their owners, bringing balance and understanding to each relationship.
We empower dog owners with the tools to foster a strong, trusting relationship with their pets, enhancing mutual understanding and respect.
