When my puppy, Sally, was 5 months old she was so strong and so willful that I could not walk her on her leash. She pulled and did not listen. I brought Sally to The Happy Retriever where she attended Bump Up Days, and then when Sally was 6 months old, she completed Boot Camp 1 & 2 with Jana and E-Collar Training with Hannah. The Boot Camps were the game changer! Sally and I now go on peaceful walks in the woods and on public trails. She knows to stay by my side, she walks calmly without pulling, and Sally does not jump up on strangers if they approach. I can not recommend the Boot Camps enough - completely changed Sally's and my ability to enjoy & explore life out in the world together. The Bump Up Days are wonderful as well. Sally still attends those once a week to keep her skills fresh, but mostly, Sally continues to attend Bump Up Days because she loves spending time at The Happy Retriever. When we pull into the training facility, Sally begins to wag her tail and make excited noises - she loves being there. The trainers are wonderful and Alexa and Eric who work the front desk know each dog by name and shower the dogs with affection. I highly recommend The Happy Retriever with absolutely no reservations. Professional, knowledgeable and fun training facility.
