At Happy Hound, we firmly believe that a well-exercised and mentally stimulated dog is fundamental to achieving a well-trained and obedient companion. Our approach centers on positive reinforcement dog training, which underpins every service we provide. We are dedicated to helping your pup thrive, starting from the early stages of puppyhood and leash training, progressing through obedience training, and continuing into adulthood.

 

All group classes are conducted by certified professional dog trainers.

Each class is limited to six dogs to ensure personalized attention.

 

Please note that these classes are not suitable for reactive dogs, which may exhibit behaviors such as uncontrollable barking, lunging, or growling at other dogs or people. If your dog is reactive, we recommend starting with private lessons prior to enrolling in a group class.

Do You Want Your Dog to Exhibit Better Behavior?

Many behavioral issues that dog owners encounter are often, at least in part, inadvertently reinforced by the owners themselves.

It is important to recognize that your dog is not being willful; rather, the behaviors exhibited are a result of what you have taught them.

Behaviors such as stealing items, jumping on people, pulling on a leash, and failing to come when called may have been unintentionally encouraged by allowing your dog the opportunity to engage in these actions or by inadvertently providing attention when they do.

What is a Pack Walk?
A Pack Walk is a group exercise and social activity designed for dogs and their owners.
