Awesome place to get your dog trained at our pup learned how to listen/work around other dogs because she gets dog excited. she barked a few times because bigger dogs We’re looking at her her while she was eating her topple and she didn’t like that, so Heather moved us across the room with smaller dogs and put a sheet in between kira and the bigger dog and she did good ever sense then heather was a big help and it was very fun! -kira fam
Happy Dog was recommended by our veterinarian for behavioral training for our anxious doodle. Emma and Heather have been wonderful. We've already learned so much and look forward to each visit.
Great experience. I'm already looking for the next training we'll attend
