The Happy Hound Behavior and Obedience

I would reccomend happy hound services to anyone who is interested in getting their dog trained. Sami runs her buisiness in a professional, organized, and timely manner. Through working with her, it’s very easy to identify what an extensive knowledge base she has when working with animals (and their humans too!). Sami’s down to earth style makes her extremely approachable, easy to ask questions, talk to, and over all made learning so easy us! She worked with our dog Reggie, whose major concerns were related to his reactive behaviors. We finally reached out to Sami when we realized just how small Reggie’s world was becoming, and just how limited our knowledge was on how to best manage his needs… Reggie spent 4 weeks with Sami doing the board and train package. I cannot share how beneficial and impactful her work with Reggie has been. Reggie is a much more happier confident dog. Reggie has made extensive progress that wasn’t able to be made with previous training. We feel much more confident as his owners, and we were given so many effective tools and resources to ensure the results are long lasting. If you have ever had experience owning a dog with reactive behaviors, then you know just how stressful, overwhelming, and even shameful it can feel, however, Sami was extremely patient with us and took time to ensure we were set up for as much success as we could be. The relief that has been provided by her work with Reggie is immeasurable. Whether you have a need for training related to basic obedience for a new puppy, breaking undesirable habits, or managing a reactive/anxious dog, I CANNOT recommend Sami and her business enough! Truly, our only regret is not reaching out to Sami sooner.

Sami is truly nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first session, it was clear that she doesn’t just train dogs, she understands them on a deeper level. Her calm confidence, patience, and genuine love for animals make her an absolute standout in her field. Lainey transformed under her guidance. Behaviors we once thought were impossible to change suddenly became manageable and then completely corrected. Sami took the time to get to know Lainey’s personality, quirks, and triggers, and built a training plan that worked with her, not against her. She explained everything in a way that made sense, gave us tools we could use every day, and celebrated every win right along with us. What sets Sami apart is her dedication. She shows up prepared, enthusiastic, and fully invested in your dog’s success. She goes above and beyond, offering tips, answering questions, and making sure you feel supported throughout the entire process. Because of Sami, we have a happier, more confident dog and we’re more confident owners. She has completely changed our life for the better. If you’re looking for a trainer who is skilled, compassionate, and truly exceptional at what she does, Sami is the one.
