Happy Dog Institute

First off, thank you Paul! As a Licensed Veterinary Technician who’s school focused a lot on animal behavior, positive counter-conditioning, and cooperative care for our on campus animals it was really nice to be able to find a facility that has similar values. It was also oddly difficult to find a facility that is up to date on the AVSAB Position Statement On Puppy Socialization, several other trainers turned us away telling us to return when our puppy was fully vaccinated which is also when the most important socialization window closes. Working with reactive dogs and adopting two adult dogs with different behavior issues it was very important for us to jump start on socialization with our new puppy. I am so glad we found you all! It was great to hear things from a different perspective and my partner was able to hear information from someone other than myself for once. Besides all the expected normal puppy stuff it was nice to hear Paul coach on body language, advocating for our dogs, breed specific tendencies, managing reactivity, and vet handling and so much more. I will be recommending this facility to my clients and will probably be back for workshops with Bisky and probably another puppy in the next year or two.

Highly recommend happy dog institute. Heather is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and a excellent trainer. She has helped my husband and I so much with raising and training our labradoodle with positive reinforcement. Group classes are great and 1:1 private sessions are the best. They really care about helping their clients be the best fur parents they can be and raising happy thriving and well behaved fur babies. 🐾🐾.
