Happy Dog Training & Behavior

Happy Dog is worth every penny. Lori and Ellen are excellent teachers and help you understand your dog so much better. They teach management techniques alongside training, which has been huge for us. The skills we learned in class are easily applicable to daily life and have helped make our dog a pleasure to be around. Ellen and Lori have also made themselves available via email for various questions outside class and have always been helpful. Attached is a photo of our 7 month old Great Dane just chilling at a brewery and not being a psycho because she learned how to be calm around distractions in this class. I would highly recommend Happy Dog to all puppy parents AND owners of adult dogs.

We had a phenomenal dog training experience. This was the second time taking classes at Happy Dog, we first came with our 3 month old black Labrador. We recently got another lab puppy and while the puppy was well behaved the home dynamics between the puppy and the now almost 2 year old black lab were unbearable, to the point where I was in tears every day and, in spite of being totally in love with the puppy, we were considering the heartbreaking decision of rehoming him. I reached out to Ellen and she listened to my concerns, spent a lot of time on the phone and via email, watching videos of the two of the interact and she assured me that , while challenging, things were not as bad as they appeared. In addition to having the puppy enrolled in the family dog 1, we set up for a private consultation with Lorrie. She gave us a lot of suggestions and strategies to add to our toolbox to make our lives a bit less chaotic and the situation more manageable. While we still have our moments, Things are getting better each day and we have Ellen and Lorrie to thank. Their patience , expertise, and understanding helped us through a very difficult and stressful time and gave us hope that things would get better and many ideas and training tools to make that positive change happen. They are both outstanding and highly knowledgeable dog trainers and true and caring professionals. We are very grateful to them and enthusiastically recommend Happy Dog for all of your dog training and behavioral support needs!!!!
