Happy Dog Training Academy

I can’t thank Bob enough for the training he did for my very exuberant Havanese ROSIE. I never thought I would be able to take a relaxing walk and stop at a coffee shop with her because of her lunging at anything that moved. Thank you so much Bob for all you did for us. I love walking her and visiting coffee shops as she just sits there and watches people and dogs go by. I loved her even before her training but now WOW! Thank you, thank you, thank you. She even comes home and goes right in her crate to sleep it off

My dog and I both had an excellent experience with Happy Dog Training Academy. Bob is professional while also friendly with his clients and their pets. He quickly recognized the best approach to take with my dog's specific needs in mind and gave me the tools that I need to understand my dog's behavior. He was extremely helpful in guiding me on how to better communicate with my dog and quick to answer any questions I had. I highly recommend Happy Dog!

Bob is incredibly professional, prompt and friendly. Took the intimidation out of guessing if I was doing things “right” with training my dog to walk on a leash without pulling. I didn’t feel confident with trying to learn through YouTube videos without feedback from a trainer. He right away gave me constructive feedback and explanation of why some of my habits were not helpful or just confusing to my dog regarding behaviors that I didn’t want him to engage in (leash pulling, excessive barking, jumping). He provided such simple techniques and tips that, over time, I know I’ll use second nature. After a single hour-long session and a switch in my leash, I noticed considerable and jaw dropping changes in my dog’s response/behavior; as well as in my ability to control my dog better on a leash— I used to have to have him wear a harness and have his leash wrapped around my waist because of how strong he is and how much he pulled. Now, I’m walking him with a slip lead and he stays right by my side. Phenomenal transformation in my dog and my own ability to properly command, lead, reward and overall communicate with my dog. Thank you, Bob!

We sent our 9-month-old lab mix, Gullie, to Bob for training and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Bob made us feel completely comfortable and confident in our decision. He has such an incredible passion for what he does, and it truly shows in his work. I was initially hesitant about sending Gullie away, but Bob eased all my concerns. He kept us informed every step of the way with detailed updates and was always available to answer any questions we had. Gullie made amazing progress, and it’s clear that Bob is not only a skilled trainer but also someone who genuinely cares. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own and deliver real results, Bob is the one. Highly recommend!
