Happy Dog Training & Behavior

Puppy Kindergarten was not only easy to understand and helpful, but fun. We were in a class with 5 other puppies. We understood the rules that turned out to be a fun and effective way to learn. An added bonus was the play time with fellow puppy students at the end of the class. My puppy was always excited and happy thru out. Highly recommended for the teaching style and comfort while learning. Thank you Lorrie and Ellen!

I brought my puppy to Happy Dog Training for Puppy Kindergarten and then Family Dog 1. We have had such an incredible experience. Lorrie and Ellen are so knowledgable and willing to lend their expertise to your individual situation. They always check in about how things are going, and make themselves available to offer help along the way. My dog loved attending classes and would try to run through the parking lot to get to the door every week. We're looking forward to eventually taking Family Dog 2!

I have taken both of my dogs to Happy Dog Training over the past 5 years. We have done a variety of classes (Puppy Kindergarten, Family Dog 1, Beyond the Backyard, Loose Leash Walking, Rocket Recalls) and have had a great experience with all of them. Their training style is all about positive reinforcement and it has been very effective with both of my dogs. I believe that this type of training has taught my dogs how to make good choices on their own - rather than doing something because I told them to or just because they want a treat. Their facility is great too - with plenty of room for the dogs to train without being crowded and too distracted. Ellen and Lorrie are great at tweaking exercises so they meet your dog at her level and are always available to answer questions after class or by email between classes. You can tell they really care about the dogs and want all of their students to succeed!
