Happy Dog Training

My husband and I had rescued a pitbull puppy that had been abandoned, she had absolutely no human interaction, she never had been on a leash nor had a dog collar on ever. Her name Is Coco. We did not know what to do with her, we were not going to allow her to go to the dog pound, they would instantly euthanize her because of her out of control behavior. I was recommended to Happy Dog Training by my sister who has had numerous dogs be trained by Ralf. We sent the sweet little puppy pitbull Coco to Ralph's for a three-month training, unfortunately during the training, the covid-19 had just hit the USA. Ralf had to keep her for a few more weeks due to covid, during her stay and training session for those months, she was like a whole new dog, he did mericle's for this dog. When we first rescued this puppy pitbull ,we did not think she would have a chance, the behavioral issue to me seemed like there was no chance. She had such a bad abandonment issues, to where she would jump out of control, fight other dogs, when we would try to take her on a walk, she would just rip us down the street. During her four month stay with Ralf, she became a completely new dog, she stopped jumping like a crazy dog, she now walks on a leash without ripping you down the street, she now obeys all commands, like I said I thought there was no hope in this dog. If anybody reads this post and you have a dog that has any kind of Behavioral issues do not give up, take the dog to Happy Dog Training. Ralf Is the dog whisper to me & our family. He treated our dog so wonderful, he Is a very well knowledge, professional, dog trainer. When the time comes for us to get another dog, we will for sure be taking the new dog to Ralf. I definitely will give Happy Dog Training 10 🌟.

Ralf truly worked wonders on our Malinois puppy, Zeus. He was only 10 weeks old when we took him to Happy Dog Training for 2 months of boarding and Training. Let me tell you that it was worth every penny. The puppy we dropped off and the puppy we picked up are two different dogs. We had struggled with Zeus nipping at our girls and were fearful we would have to get rid of him. He really discovered what made Zeus tick and developed a way to redirect his energy. Ralf communicated with us well during the two months, sending videos and pictures. Upon pick up he gave us written instructions to help with his adjustment back to us. The piece of mind to be able to contact Ralf if we have any issues in the future is an added benefit. Highly recommend!

We adopted Fergus as an 8 year old pulled from Animal Control by a rescue group. He lived happily in a foster home with other dogs and cats. Imagine our surprise then when, on our first walk with him, we saw another dog being walked and he became a lunging, screaming banshee. The other dog and its human looked scared and walked quickly the other way. People came out of their houses to see if we were okay, because Fergus was so loud and crazed. We tried many things to help him (and us) and they helped…a little. In desperation we turned to Happy Dog Training and Ralf. Ralf instantly saw that Fergus was scared, not aggressive, and helped us learn how to build his confidence through play. He also taught us how to tell Fergus “NO” in a way that he could hear, even in the midst of a freak-out. Now he’s much better on our walks and doesn’t bark whenever anyone dares to walk by our house. Thank you, Ralf, for giving Fergus a better quality of life and for helping us learn how to help him.

Happy Dog Training has been a wonderful experience. He transformed my rambunctious American Staffy into a well behaved Angel. Working with Ralf was so easy and he explained everything thoroughly. I never felt like I was out of the loop. Coco stayed with Ralf for eight weeks and although I missed her terribly, I would do it all over again. Ralf provided weekly photos and videos. Ralf is extremely professional and is truly passionate about training dogs.
