Ummm...wow! Best trainer I have ever brought in for my giant breed Irish Wolfhounds! And... I've had three prior to my two now and used several different trainers. Great job Bob!! He took on my two giants and did such a precise, caring, immediately effective approach. I learned the best info ever in one hour with him than with any other trainer's methods. Thank you! My two so needed your input. Looking forward to to training my crew with your info. I'd have gone 10 stars. 🙋♀️ Kim
Bob does outstanding work. His training plan ultimately focuses on trust and communication. He trained my 2 year old German shepherd during a several-week boarding period in 2023. Even 3 years later, she still remembers and snaps into gear when appropriate. He honors his prior trainees with tune ups and refreshers. He is a great guy and a wonderful dog trainer.

We had a great experience with Bob at Happy Dog Training Academy! We sent our puppy Ernie to him for the three-week training camp and were really happy with how much he learned. He’s especially great at the “place” command now, which has been SO helpful for my husband and me at home. Bob was super communicative the entire time Ernie was with him and gave us consistent updates throughout the three weeks. He’s also always available for questions, even now that Ernie is home, which has been really helpful as we continue working with him. We’re really happy with Ernie’s progress and would definitely recommend Bob and Happy Dog Training Academy!
We are so pleased with Happy Dog, our trainer Bob, and the progress we see with Libby! From day one, Bob had great communication, set reasonable expectations, and made us feel comfortable in our decision.

We are so pleased with Happy Dog, our trainer Bob, and the progress we see with Libby! From day one, Bob had great communication, set reasonable expectations, and made us feel comfortable in our decision. Throughout the training we received photos and videos of Libby’s progress! Can’t say enough good things about the program and Bob. We look forward to working more with Libby on our own at home (and comforting to know Bob is our trainer for life with Libby!)
