The Happy K-9 Training & Rehabilitation

I can’t say enough great things about The Happy K-9. From the moment I dropped off my cocker spaniel , I knew she was in excellent hands. The staff is incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive—they genuinely care about every single dog as if they were their own. My dog, was struggling with leash pulling, jumping on people, peeing inside the house aa well as other things and I was at my wit’s end. Thanks to Nelson and team, we’ve seen an amazing transformation! Their approach is both professional and compassionate, tailoring the training methods to fit my dog’s unique personality and needs. They not only worked with my dog but also took the time to teach me how to reinforce positive behaviors and communicate effectively with my pup. The facility is spotless, well-organized, and thoughtfully designed with plenty of space for play and rest. I would definitely recommend Nelson and team to anyone looking to train their dog, board their pup or just looking for a place for their dog to spend the day!

Our two rescues, Tito and Lilly, spent four weeks with Nelson, Lauren, and the team back in February 2024 and we have been so thankful every day for the whole HK9 team and their dedication to helping our two fur babies becoming more confident! The amount of love the team has for our dogs is evident and we were blown away with the constant communication and updates we received while they were in their care. We still use them for daycare and boarding because we know that when they’re with the team at Happy K9, that they are in the best hands possible.

We sent our VERY terrified dog to the 4 week train and board program. She came out a changed dog! The best part was the patience and care the entire Happy K9 team showed our family to make sure that we understood her new skills and how to encourage her continued growth at home. In fact, we STILL get their support when needed via text or call. It’s an amazing team. They truly care about creating happy K9s. Our dog is getting better and better everyday, less terrified and able to live in our house with boundaries and rules in place. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I’ll cut right to the chase. Nelson and his team are awesome! We brought our dog to them with a combination of high fear/anxiety around people and new environments. She was also directing her high energy levels into less than desirable behaviors. We did the board and train program with Nelson and the team and five weeks later we saw a completely different dog. They were able to build a structure for her to both feel safe in as well as have boundaries. Where I think their service goes above and beyond is with the follow ups. That’s where we were really able to cement the training for both her as well as us. She is so much more comfortable in uncomfortable situations as well as quickly being able to respond to corrections regarding negative behavior. I know based on the tools Nelson and his team have given us we are going to to be able to continue to build a positive/healthy relationship with our four legged friend.
