Worth every penny. I honestly didn't think I'd see such huge results after years without training in just 5 weeks, but Happy Dog Academy's programs provided everything my canine companion needed. The staff at Happy Dog Academy are very professional and work with heart, something my family and I truly appreciate and value.
We are so happy and grateful for the work done by our star trainer, Gabriel de Jesus. Thanks to him and the academy, my family now has a Happy Dog who is confident in himself, my family, and the world.

I was super scared of dogs (personal trauma as a child) and Gabriel helped me with that when I was getting hired to a new job and they have a dog. Today, I even walk and feed the dog sometimes. I am so so happy that I now know how to deal with my fears and show my love to the dogs. Thank you Gabriel. You are the best!

Gabriel was great and I'm so happy with the results! My Luna is a 6yo pit that has had no prior training, issues with socialization, some dog aggression, and basically did what she wanted (entitled and ruled our house). I was stressed to even take her on walks. Gabriel addressed everything from a psychological perspective (fear/anxiety, operant conditioning) that helped me understand it all well. Luna received a comprehensive evaluation and participated in the 4 week board and train program. I received daily updates, weekly hands-on training for myself, printable hand-outs with explanations and commands/markers, participated in activities, and follow ups. Gabriel is always available and responsive to any questions. Training is ongoing and we are still adjusting, but we are already very happy with her progress and that she actually pays attention and listens to commands. We feel safe and confident to take her out. I highly recommend his program!

We can't speak highly enough of Happy Dog Academy and the incredible transformation it brought to our beloved goldendoodle, Cosmo. We enrolled him in the 3-week board and train program, and the results have been truly remarkable.
Before the training, Cosmo struggled with anxiety and excitability, especially when playing with our son. Thanks to the expertise of Gabriel, his dedicated trainer, we noticed significant positive changes in his behavior. Even beyond the three weeks of training, Gabriel has continued to support us with regular follow-ups, messages, and visits, demonstrating his commitment to Cosmo's well-being.
Now, Cosmo is a joy to walk with! His leash manners have improved drastically, and we no longer feel any tension during our strolls, making our walks an enjoyable experience for all. Additionally, he used to rush out the door at the first sight of it being open, which was a safety concern. Thanks to the training, those dangerous behaviors have been replaced with a newfound sense of self-control.
Gabriel's knowledge, kindness, and patience have been invaluable to us as first-time dog owners. He is always available to address any questions or concerns we have, providing us with the confidence and reassurance we need to nurture a calm and well-behaved pet for years to come.
Happy Dog Academy has not only trained Cosmo but has also transformed our entire family dynamic. We are now able to fully enjoy the presence of our tranquil and adorable furry friend. We cannot recommend Happy Dog Academy enough to anyone seeking a positive and life-changing experience for their canine companions. Thank you, Gabriel, and the entire team, for making this journey so rewarding!
