After interviewing multiple "top trainers" in the Charleston area, we chose Bob /Happy Dog Training Academy. He is one of the most genuine people you will ever meet. Extremely professional, and wonderfully talented - he loves what he does, and I trusted him completely with my dog - that says it all.

We are so, so happy with the progress our sweet girl made, it's a night and day difference! Being a rescue, we don't know much about her history or where she came from. She didn't know any basic commands, was over excited on the leash, and needed some work on house training. We are blown away by what Bob and Happy Dog Training accomplished. We're able to run with her on a leash now, and she can potty on command! Life changing! I'd highly recommend this program for anyone who wants to set their dog up for a lifetime of success. I'm so proud of her new skills. She's retained her goofy spirit, but is even more of a joy to be around now. We couldn't be happier. Thank you Bob and Happy Dog Training!
Bob is such an awesome trainer! We entrusted him to train our dog Foster and couldn't be happier with the results. Highly recommend
Bob with Happy Dog Training was very responsive at all phases: before I dropped Dakota off, during her training and at our "send home" session. Looking forward to continuing working with Kota 2.0 over the next 90 days!
