FirstBarkI had the best experience with Happy Dog Training Academy and Bob. Bob makes sure to keep you in the loop with training updates via photos and videos. I am very happy with the training my dog has received. It is great to have the same happy dog but with much better training back in my home.

Bob works magic. He really helped my dog, Felix, dial in on his command. Not only does he train the dog but he “trains” you how to work with your dog, building that relationship. This was a huge step in the process that other trainers sometimes over look. Felix is so much happier. I did the boarding program and I highly recommend it. At first I was missing my puppy but Bob would send videos and pictures whenever I was missing him. I’ve tried other training methods in the past but this is THE BEST. Bob and his team are really special people and really care for those dogs. 10000/10, fantastic program

Can’t say enough good things about Happy Dog Training Academy! My 6 year old pup Prince just graduated from the board and train program and I am already so impressed with how much he has learned! Bob is extremely knowledgeable, kind and also made me and Prince feel very comfortable during the entire process. Bob kept me up to date with cute videos and pictures of Prince while he was away. You can tell that he truly loves dogs - Prince was sad to see him go after his graduation. I’m so excited to continue this training journey with Prince. Thank you Bob ☺️

We 100% recommend Happy Dog training! Bob did a fantastic job working with our 6 month old Cavapoo puppy Daisy. We had reached our training limits and needed help with whining and a few other little habits. He communicated with us regularly throughout the process with photos, videos and updates. At drop off, Bob spent time going over what Daisy had learned as well as working with us so we would have the tools to continue his good work. Daisy has now been home about a week and we are thrilled with her progress!! Her whining has greatly improved and what little whining we hear now stops with the Quiet command. She also has new skills for our walks and for hanging out at home. She is still a puppy but she now has a solid foundation and our family has the tools to set Daisy up for success! This has been a wonderful experience. Thank you Bob!
Met up with Bob & one of his employees to evaluate my reactive dog & he has some handling skills I’ve never seen before. Flawless control over my dog, gave me some amazing tips on handling & managing his behavior. I have never seen someone have so much confidence & control when working a dog.
